Features: Qian Pu, styled Zunwang, was a renowned book collector in the early Qing Dynasty. He wrote three catalogues for his private collection: "Shiye Garden Catalogue," "Shugutang Catalogue," and "Reading with Diligence Notes." These three catalogues have their own characteristics but contain much repetition, making them inconvenient to use. Now, based on the "Shiye Garden Catalogue," the two latter catalogues have been incorporated, resulting in a collection of 4,180 books. An appendix lists the titles, authors, or an index.
