It's too thin, generally ok, but a lot of mistakes on details.
First, this book is surprisingly thin... It's just like going to a Chinese exhibition in a local museum in UK or USA... I wonder if all the illustrations in this book only come from American museums.Second, I am not an expert but I already saw hundreds of mistakes/wrong info in this book.- The names of people/emperors mentioned in the book are not always correct or not in the same "format", the book doesn't distinguish the "name" and the "title" of emperors.- Wrong name, e.g. Lin Zexu (Correct) - Li Zexu (Wrong, P63). There are more.- Typos, e.g., Kung fu - Kune fu. (P65); Longest reign : Kangxi ruled from 1661 to 1772. Correct 1661 - 1722. (P65)- Wrong illustrations, e.g., P69, "Try an ancient Chinese craft", in the figure, it is JAPANESE calligraphy but NOT CHINESE. (It is even NOT Chinese characters...).- P71, why you put a photo of Pagoda in Kyoto, Japan? It's a book about China, NO?I highly recommend you to invite some Chinese people into your Edition group for this book.
