Features: Mr. Shen Jin has been deeply involved in the study of bibliographic cataloging for many years. This book is a collection of his selected works over the years, divided into six parts: "Old and Rare Books" (such as Also on), "New Rare Books" (such as Guo Moruo's Signed Edition), "Folklore of the Book World" (such as Wang Peisun and the Collection of Nanyang Middle School), "Random Thoughts on Reading" (such as Reviews and My Unfathomable Affinity with), "Library Tours" (such as The American New York Public Library as I Know It and The Shanghai Library Is My Native Place), and "Others" (such as Ancient Book Collection and Publishing—An Interview with the American Scholar Shen Jin). From the scriptures stored in the Leifeng Pagoda to the documents of the Red Army, from the state of Chinese libraries to the treasures of American libraries, the author effortlessly brings the reader into a magical hall of ancient literature through a summary of his many years of library work. The book is written in simple yet elegant language, richly illustrated, and serves as an excellent reference for library workers and enthusiasts of bibliology.
