5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful china coffee table book, September 6, 1999
This review is from: Spectacular China (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful coffee table book for anyone interested in China. It is a large format with beautiful photography including several 3-page fold-outs. China's natural beauty, architecture & culture are all here.

You see get to see ancient stone sculptures, the majestic Imperial Place & the seemingly endless Great Wall. Breathtaking waterfalls, serene lakes dotted with pagodas & mysterious mountains enveloped in clouds follow.

I was very impressed the many golden Buddhas & a boat made of marble. I also loved the peaceful gardens filled with water, rocks & trees. The native people in traditional dress are fascinating as well.

My favorite of the entire city of Beijing lit with fireworks is nothing short of spectacular. The text and detailed captions provide a thorough background for the photos. This is a book you can get lost in for hours.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book!, February 9, 2002
By 
"carrd21" (Plymouth, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spectacular China (Hardcover)
This book has the best photos of scenes around China that I have ever seen. I love the photos, but have been very disappointed in the quality of the binding. It is not strong enough to support such large, heavy pages. The first book arrived with the binding already torn away and the second one has to be handled VERY gently to prevent the same thing from happening. As a coffee table book it is meant to be looked at and I don't like having to ask people to be careful with it. I don't know if I got a couple of bad copies or if they're all so delicate. Maybe future editions will be more hardy.

By A Customer
This review is from: Spectacular China (Hardcover)
The pictures are beautiful but the book is put together very sloppily and is falling apart before it even comes out of the box
