A timeless classic

This book is surely one of the definitive works in the area of Tao Magic. It would be of great interest to art historians, students of Chinese calligraphy, and the general public. The range and depth of the discussions are beautifully accompanied by illustrations that are worthy of appearing as works of art in their own right.
