Candy wrappers, firecrackers, Chairman Mao heads,and more. These objects are a testament to the age-old Chinese tradition of reverance for color and design. Even humdrum, everyday items such as matchbooks and sock labels are decorated with exuberant illustration. A stylishly designed object and graphic essay in one.an extraodinary glimpse into the heart of Chinese popular culture."--wrapper ; FINE. Book.
