(UK) First Edition INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR: "Best Wishes from Kenneth Lo (also Chinese name)", no other markings, Near Fine, no Dj. Glossy red boards, 160pp, index. Line illus. This is a guide for the Westerner who wants to learn about and try dishes in Chinese restaurants. There is a good overview of cooking methods, Chinese eating customs, regional chinese cooking, materials and ingredients, and a listing of Chinese dishes where the preparation and materials are explained, some to the detail that one can use it as a recipe, although their are no recipes per se. The names of the dishes have been transliterated from the Mandarin and the Cantonese but it would have been better just to have the naes in Chinese characters.

Terms of sale
Postage is based on the weight. We have created different shipping templates for different kinds of items that we sell based on the weight class of books, but also on the value of certain other items that require specialized shipping.
We have 7 different shipping templates: One for light items such as Audio Cds, four for books and two for comic books.
As a example, for most books weighing up to 2.9 lbs (1.3kg) standard postage within Canada is $11.99USD to the USA with Media Mail is $7.99USD and for "standard" International mail is $36.00USD. GST is charged on books and shipping for all Canadian customers.
The shipping templates have a default amount for a second book in the same order but this applies only to items of the same weight class or category. For example, the second CD is charged at $6. Obviously we cannot send a CD and then a second book weighing 7 lbs for a total of $12. We recommend that for orders of multiple items, to contact us to get a quote for shipping. Books requiring special shipping or priority shipping will be quoted. We are glad to quote delivery costs to International buyers. International shipping has become more complicated so it is best to contact us as to the cost and time required for delivery.
Books are carefully wrapped and usually shipped in corrugated cardboard cartons. Books are returnable for a full refund if the book is not as described. The book price only will be refunded for any other reason. Please notify JWMah in advance of any return within 7 days of receipt of the book before sending it back so that we can give you the correct return address for your particular location. .
