FREE: THE BOOK OF TEA ~ A Deeper View ~ Understanding It's Influence

The listing, THE BOOK OF TEA ~ A Deeper View ~ Understanding It's Influence has ended.

First I must say that this Book is NEW ~~ I just sort of squeaked open a few pages ( very gently) to show you the inside. It has never been read. As shown in the photos, it's in perfect condition & has a hard bound dust-jacket.

The Author is Okakura Kakuzo & it was originally published in 1906. This printing is 2000. It's price at the Bookstore was $18.95
Published in Singapore by Tuttle Publishing

It will make a Fabulous Gift for that avid Tea drinker that also has a thirst for History & back round information of the World around us. Perhaps that's YOU ??

This book takes a very different approach to the ritual of Tea drinking & shows the link between Tea & Art History, Zen, Taoism & the Ritual of the tea Ceremony.

All in All an interesting read that is full of subtle Education that You won't even know is happening, but you will come away more knowledgeable on several subjects.

The small, adorable Pottery plate you see is a handcrafted Tea Bag holder & will be included if Bids reach 50,000.

Shipping is FREE & includes Tracking. ( Don't know about you, but I'm feeling a bit disheartened about the Credits situation. Since I like to Ship Free, I'm ending up losing $ on just about EVERY Auction or just squeaking by at even. Not Good ! Thus ~~ I have to increase my Starting Bid. Sooo Sorry! & who knows, I might even have to start charging Shipping or leave Listia all together. Bummer! )

That being said ~~Good Luck with Bidding & Thanks for looking ~~
