I gave this book as a gift to my friend who loves travel and culture. The insights into Chinese motifs were fascinating, but I wish it had a bit more in-depth analysis. Still, she loved it!

A bit disappointed with the quality
I really wanted to love this book, but the pages feel a bit flimsy and the binding isn't great. It looks beautiful, but I’m worried it won’t last long. If it were better made, I'd give it a higher rating.
