First Impression: A China Diary

 

As a book artist, I was thrilled to meet Mayna Nance, who came to me with a small leather-bound diary that her father had kept during his first year of living in China in 1921. She had discovered the diary after he died—just before his 100th birthday—and wanted to find a way to preserve the memoir for her children and grandchildren. The result was this hand-built, limited- edition book in two volumes.
