Sobre este artículo
Berkeley: University of California Press, 2001. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/near fine. First Printing of this publication, octavo size, 239 pp. From the jacket flap: "The Dao De Jing is one of the richest, most suggestive, and most popular works of philosophy and literature...This edition is distinguished by the literary quality of the translation, its new renderings for a number of the stanzas, and by Roberts' knowledgeable contextualizations."
___DESCRIPTION: Bound in quarter red cloth with ivory paper over boards, gilt lettering stamped onto the spine; octavo size (8 5/8" by 5 5/8"), pagination: [i-vi] vii-xii, 1-226 [1, colophon]. In the publisher's dust jacket, unclipped yet unpriced, summary of the book on both flaps, short bio of translator on the back flap.
___CONDITION: Volume fine, with clean boards, straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and the text entirely free of prior owner markings; a short pencilled notation on the rear pastedown (perhaps the date the prior owner read the book?), else fine. The dust jacket is near fine, clean, without noticeable edgewear, the spine not sunned (the red lettering as bright as on the front panel); light creases at the head and tail of the spine and a bit along the top edge.
