China in Those Days:

Insights into Historical China through Postcards of the Time

by

Thomas Brandt

New. This book is not generally available in book stores but sold through selected retailers, such as the Penang Bookshelf. The author, the owner of arguably the largest collection of postcards of China and the Chinese Diaspora, not only shares over 1500 highlights from his vast collection, but in the detailed accompanying text gives us an ideal introduction to Chinese life at home and abroad from the late 19th to the mid 20th century. No part of life is missed from the pictureque to the gruesome. Text in both Chinese and English. An ideal collector's item or gift. Half of the limited 3,000 print run was presold before publication. 336 pages with Chapters on

• China: Its People and Chinese Life,
• Town Views of China and
• The Chinese Diaspora (San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the 1,300 km land border with Vietnam and Cambodia).
