student Posted February 4, 2008 at 01:02 AM Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 at 01:02 AM Does anyone know of dealers in Chinese antiquarian books? China has a very long history of printing, so I would think there must be a market, but I'm not sure where to look... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted February 4, 2008 at 10:52 AM Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 at 10:52 AM Are you maybe confusing antiquarian with archaeological? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted February 4, 2008 at 10:55 AM Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 at 10:55 AM In English, "antiquarian books" are books which are themselves antiques, not books about antiquities. In Beijing, the various branches of the Cathay Book Store 中国书店 have plenty of ordinary used books as well as a small collection of antiquarian books. http://www.zgsd.net The most interesting antiquarian books are usually reserved for auction and you'll find an online exhibition of some of the books held for auction at the bottom of this page -- just click on a book for more information. http://www.zgsd.net/channel2.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
