One of 1000 copies. The first of Pound's Chinese translations most of which were subsequently collected in Lustra, Personae and the collected poems. Only 1000 copies of this title were issued and copies in such nice shape as the present example are not common.

First edition, sole impression; 8vo; publisher's buff wrappers, titles to front wrapper in black; just a trace of toning to the backstrip but a remarkably nice copy.
