The text also reviews the origins and development of basic forms and methods of construction from the selection of wood to its processing, cutting, joining, ornamentation, and final polishing. Long considered the definitive work on Chinese hardwood furniture in a Western language, this indispensable guide contains 161 superb plates that include photographs and drawings of tables, chairs, couches, cabinets, cupboards, and wardrobes. There are also measured drawings for 21 exquisitely crafted pieces for woodworkers interested in creating authentic Chinese furniture.

In a Codeword puzzle, a single letter is always represented by the same number, wherever it appears in the puzzle. The challenge is to decipher the code. Two or three letters are usually revealed, to give the solver a head start. Only dictionary words are deployed (no proper nouns appear in the puzzles), so a good knowledge of English will help with solving the puzzles.
