A tight and pristine first edition of this hefty exhibition catalogue celebrating in photographs and Chinese text these verses penned in a wide range of sizes and shapes paired with delicate imagery. Handsomely inscribed by one of the editors in black ink on inner flyleaf: "To [---] / from / Soong Shu Kong / Taipei August 2008" followed by signature again in Chinese characters. Accompanied by a second volume titled "The Fragrant Hermitage Recited by Soong Hsun-leng," a fine matching clothbound volume (though published without dust jacket), small 4to in size, containing (at left) two pristine compact discs and (at right) contents in English and Chinese listing the 30 lyrics recorded on these cd's. Really, truly unusual.

Price: $100.00
