About This Item
New York: Lee Furman, Inc.. Near Fine in Very Good dj. (c.1939). First Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [book is square and solid, very light soiling to page edges, miniscule bumping to bottom corner's, one-time owner's "Ex Libris" stamps on front pastedown; jacket is worn at edges and corners, various small tears, chipping and minor paper loss at spine ends, spine a bit faded]. "This charming historical novel of the late Empress Dowager of China combines the excitement and thrill of an Arabian Nights' tale with the current interest of a modern novel." (For quite a different gloss on the E.D., check out the provocatively-titled "The Woman Who Commanded 500,000,000 Men," currently featured in ReadInk's Catalog Number 3.) .
