Any responses appreciated, Lee ---------------------- ---------------------- My answer to this is: I think your major dealers of Asian books and catalogs are not worth their salt. Had you asked me I would have informed you that the sale was held at the China Guardian Auction in Beijing. Also, I believe you refer to the sale of Mao Memoriabilia rather than Cultural Revolution specifically. Furthermore, since I will be in Beijing in mid November, on my regular buying trip, I can volunteer to try and get you a copy of the catalogue (I only have my personal copy), and also for any one else who would like one. Looking forward to hearing from you. With many thanks and kind regards.
