Unlike lots of Chinese red
books, these versions, written in both Chinese and English
are in better condition because few people read or spoke
English and so few possessed them. Even if they had such
a version they rarely used it, relying instead on their
Chinese version. In fact other than some natural aging
marks of these red books, they appear to be almost brand
. This little red book makes a wonderful
