A Note to all of my Regular Customers: I have spent the past few years working on my book, Totemic Jade in Ancient China, (95% complete at this point). Much of that time was spent in research, writing,re-writing and photography (800-900 full color illustrations actually take a bit of work). The finished book (over 250 pages) will hopefully be ready for publication later this year. The first edition will be limited to a few thousand copies and it will be available here on eBay. To be notified when the book is ready, with no obligation or money up front on your part --- send an email request to:  oldrabbit@aol.com .
