...thought I'd try uploading at least one photo I've taken. We just finished setting up our Big Read display case and I took some photos. As you can see we made sure that we got copies of Joy Luck Club and Sagwa into the case. The little red book next to them is The Chinese Language for Beginners, my personal copy.
Here are a couple of other photos of our display:
This one shows a book on Chinese Brush Painting in back of a Chinese Yixing (ee-shing) teapot and cups. Yixing teapots are special unglazed vessels which are prized for brewing tea, especially oolong teas. They are also produced in a huge variety of shapes, some of them pretty fanciful! This one is a 'Sutra' teapot which indicates that it has a poem or other writing engraved on it in traditional Chinese calligraphy. (Sorry it doesn't show up!!)
The next photo does show the calligraphy fairly well (when you can see through the glare in the display area's glass!) But one thing I've found out doing this entry is that it is NOT easy to move the photos around on the page. Unless someone knows a trick that I don't??
