Review: Good quality - Delivered ahead of time..book was exactly what we wanted Review: It's too thin, generally ok, but a lot of mistakes on details. - First, this book is surprisingly thin... It's just like going to a Chinese exhibition in a local museum in UK or USA... I wonder if all the illustrations in this book only come from American museums. Second, I am not an expert but I already saw hundreds of mistakes/wrong info in this book. - The names of people/emperors mentioned in the book are not always correct or not in the same "format", the book doesn't distinguish the "name" and the "title" of emperors. - Wrong name, e.g. Lin Zexu (Correct) - Li Zexu (Wrong, P63). There are more. - Typos, e.g., Kung fu - Kune fu. (P65); Longest reign : Kangxi ruled from 1661 to 1772. Correct 1661 - 1722. (P65) - Wrong illustrations, e.g., P69, "Try an ancient Chinese craft", in the figure, it is JAPANESE calligraphy but NOT CHINESE. (It is even NOT Chinese characters...). - P71, why you put a photo of Pagoda in Kyoto, Japan? It's a book about China, NO? I highly recommend you to invite some Chinese people into your Edition group for this book. ## Features - DK Publishing Dorling Kindersley ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #456,007 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #168 in Children's Books on Asian History #329 in Children's Books on Cultural Studies #341 in Children's Books on Ancient History | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 173 Reviews | ## Images ![DK Eyewitness Books: Ancient China: Discover the History of Imperial China―from the Great Wall to the Days of the La - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91bBbPOdH1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality *by I***. on 27 September 2021* Delivered ahead of time..book was exactly what we wanted ### ⭐⭐ It's too thin, generally ok, but a lot of mistakes on details. *by C***Z on 6 January 2021* First, this book is surprisingly thin...
