3.0 out of 5 stars Okay but odd, April 7, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Beijing's Imperial Palace: The Illustrated Guide to the Architecture, History, and Splendorof the Forbidden City (Paperback)
This book is okay in terms of information. But it is weird looking. The paper is very cheap and the pictures look like Xerox copies. They are not glossy as one would expect. I don't know what's up with this book.
