Excellent Content, Heavy Volume
The selection of leisure seals from various dynasties is comprehensive and well-curated. My only minor complaint is that the book is quite heavy, making it difficult to hold while reading for long periods.

Fascinating Glimpse into History
I bought this as a gift for a friend who loves Asian art, but I ended up browsing through it myself. The variety of styles from different dynasties is fascinating. Would give 5 stars if there was more English translation.

Beautiful Coffee Table Book
Even though I cannot read Chinese fluently, the visual beauty of these seals is stunning. The layout is elegant, and the paper quality is thick and luxurious. A wonderful addition to my art library.
Q: Does this book contain English translations for the seal inscriptions?
A: The book primarily features the original seal scripts and Chinese commentary. However, it includes an English introduction and brief captions for major sections to assist international readers.
Q: Is this book suitable for beginners in calligraphy?
A: While it is an advanced collection, beginners can certainly appreciate the visual aesthetics. However, some prior knowledge of Chinese art history will help in fully understanding the contextual notes.
Q: Is the paper glossy or matte?
A: The book uses high-quality matte coated paper to reduce glare and better showcase the intricate details of the ink rubbings without reflection.
Q: Are the seals shown in their actual size or scaled?
A: Most seals are reproduced at their actual size to allow artists to study the stroke width accurately, though a few very large monumental seals are slightly scaled down to fit the page.
Q: Does this cover seals from the Qing Dynasty specifically?
A: Yes, the anthology covers a wide range of dynasties including the Ming and Qing dynasties, with a significant portion dedicated to the exquisite leisure seals of famous Qing artists.
