History of Chinese Printing : (Illustrated)

"Now this lack has been largely remedied with publication of Zhang Xiumin's The History of Chinese Printing, which makes an important contribution to the study of the history of culture, science and technology in China."---Dr. Tsien Tsuen-Hsuin, University of Chicago, and author of Science and Civilisation in China: Volume 5:1 by Joseph Needham

"Zhang's account about the origin and development of Chinese printing is a coherent one: the ideas are logically presented and every key point falls into place. The book is truly an essential contribution."---LiXimi, Historian and Editor-in-Chief of Wenxian (Documentations Quarterly), Beijing, China.

"This is your significant contribution to the study of Chinese printing history."---Dr. Soren Edgren, Princeton University, and Chinese book specialist

"Very substantial and comprehensive in its content. It is both unprecedented and unrepeatable."---Tan Qixiang, Professor and historian, Fudan University, Shanghai, China
