GBP 700.00 A complete run of Volumes 1-10 of this late 1920s and 1930s periodical, generally published in 6 volumes per year from 1928-1936 inclusive. There is mention of a first volume of Volume 11 from early 1937 - not present here. The journal ceased publication in 1937, presumably due to Japanese incursion.

Each volume contains a number of articles on Chinese rare books plus contributions on central Asian including the Silk Road in China and Dunhuang. Much on very early printing and documents. A few black-and-white collotype illustrations to most volumes. List of contents in English on covers, plus a few initial pages of notes and remarks in English too. Main text in Chinese. Very scarce.
