    Description

    This wonderful postcard booklet dates back to 1982 and is complete - all cards are included, unposted and unused. There are 13 postcards included (which includes the cover), and each postcard has a tear-off tab with an additional photograph relating to the postcard.  Once all the postcards are removed, you still have a booklet of pictures that make a great reference or souvenir.  If you are planning to visit China, have visited in the past and loved it, or are doing research on Chinese history, you will enjoy this great little book.  There are some very minor scuffs on the front and back cover (see photos - you can barely notice them) that are age-related and don't detract from the cards, or unused quality.  There are also photographs of two of the cards, to give you an idea of the quality.  The card titles & content are:
    Cover:  Caisson Ceiling of Yang Xin Dian
    1.  The throne in Tai He Dian (Hall of Supreme Harmony)
    2.  Yang Xin Dian (Hall of Mental Cultivation)
    3.  East Room of Chu Xiu Gong (Palace of Gathering Excellence)
    4.  Tai Ji Dian (Hall of the Absolute)
