Welcome to the year 4079!
This is the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese calendar. This calendar predates my Gregorian version by centuries, Gregorian having been in use for a paltry 430 years or so… with the Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) fast approaching on the 23rd of this month I thought a few books in the astrological theme would be appropriate.
Especially appropriate as I was born in the Year of the Dragon. Huzzah!
So, a selection of books in, on and around the Chinese world...

Owned and run by David Gower-Spence, this site also lists the books many other independent second hand book sellers from across the world. All of us, I am a dealer first and foremost with a small stock of around 40,000 secondhand books, are committed to providing the level of service that you would expect of professionals in the out of print and antiquarian book world.
The site offers secure ordering, of course, and you deal directly with the book seller to complete the transaction. Your questions regarding any book for sale can be directed to the dealer if you prefer. That contact is welcomed and can be made through the site. With a little fewer than half a million books here, you are not going to find every title listed of course.
That said, if it's here then you can rest assured of being in the good hands of our little band of brothers! Comments on the site, dealers and most things can be directed to me (using the contact us page) but please, don't mention politics, recession, bonuses or, indeed, quantitive easing!
I, personally, also keep a small selection of stock at the Post
Office in Peasedown St. John and you can get an idea of
what's in stock at any time by clicking
here.
As well as thousands of second hand and out of print books,
I offer a range of bibliographies, book valuations(currently suspended due to other pressures), you
can sell your books through the site if you're a dealer and a free
book search service. You will also find a selection of links to other book related web sites.
