Absoulute must have reference for Chinese Art Collectors

I've been collecting Chinese art for thirty five years and have almost everything published about Chinese Jade and related arts. Bernstein's book is concise, to the point and he gives straight talk about collecting Chinese art. Collecting Chinese art is a must have reference tool for all collectors of Oriental art. The author, an internationally famous scholar-dealer really knows his tomatoes. He writes about detecting fakes, scientific testing of Chinese works of art and the current world-wide market for Chinese art. The full color photographs of jades, ancient glass, gold and silver objects and stone scultures are attractive and tastefully done. I recommend it with out reservation.
