Donnelly’s ‘Sumptuous’ Chinese Junks

As it’s been reprinted nicely recently I’d thought I’d plug the reprint with an old ad from the 1920s when Ivon A Donnelly’s Chinese Junks and Other Native Craft was first issued. Good old Kelly & Walsh, the best English language publishers in the East (who live on with a couple of chaotically organised bookshops in Hong Kong) ran the ad and everyone seemed to like Mr Donnelly’s tome. They were right and it has justly become a classic.
