Wij kunnen het veel goedkoper dan normaal aanbieden omdat we er een aantal in een boekhandel in Thailand op de kop hebben kunnen tikken. Doordat het boek ondertussen iets meer dan 10 jaar oud is zijn de randen van de afneembare omslag zeer licht vergeeld. Verder zijn ze echter in zeer goede staat. Post Books: "Thai Silk affords a colourful and fascinating insight into a unique fabric that for centuries has been acclaimed the Queen of Textiles, by the wealthy, the powerful, the covetous and the humble. A traditional Thai handicraft that owes its origins to a tiny caterpillar, silk is renowned for its myriad uses. It graces the world's most beautiful women and makes sumptuous interior design schemes appear even more lavish. Behind it all is a history as rich and exotic as silk fibre itself." | |
