One of the hits of #BookHunt I did in #SaoPaolo:
Collection of illustrations on #Chinese ancient #Teaware.
"中国历代茶具" or "Chinese ancient tea sets", obtained from Livraria Chinesa.

The internet is great until you have an intense interest is something old and obscure. I can Google #SulamithWulfing and get the Wikipedia summary, but good luck finding a book about her (that is in English and not out of print). Same with some of the interesting looking books about the #Symbolist art movement. Good lord I don't want to spend $50-$100 on a book! But it's the kind of subject where those old books are the only way to learn more about it. 😭 #BookHunt #Help
