4.0 out of 5 stars
Necessary Reference,
This review is from: Chinese Sculpture from the Fifth to Fourteenth (Hardcover)
<<Why this old book is reprinted? Plates are monochrome. Some are blurred. Nowadays, we can use books with beautiful colorful plates.>>Someone should claim this question, but THIS 2 volumes are worthy. Many classical papers and books refer to this books as the trivial standard reference book about chinese Buddhist sculptures. Study progress on classical works, but, students irritate for lack of this reference book, especially in new colleges/libraries. For old papers, it is rather easy to ask another library to copy, but for a book, it is not. For over 60 years, this is out of print. Now Rare and Expensive. Recently, SDI Publications( Thailand) published this reprint. Plate Quality is fine enough. Two hardcover volumes are more convenient to use than the original 4 volumes. I recommend public libraries and colleges with art-historical department should get this REPRINT admired. It is worthy to mind damage to the original rare versions. |
