Booknote: The China Collectors
Itinerant Librarian on Books
The China Collectors: America's Century-Long Hunt for Asian Art Treasures - Karl E. Meyer,Shareen Blair Brysac

The topic was interesting, but this writing in this book was a bit dry at times; the result is that the book was a slow read for me. Once you get past the first chapter, which lays out a lot of basic historical background, things do get a bit more interesting.

North to the Orient
By Singing Light
North to the Orient - Anne Morrow Lindbergh

One of Lindbergh’s earlier flying books. It’s not my favorite by her, partly because some of the attitudes are wince-inducingly dated. For instance, white Protestant missionary schools in Alaska are seen as an unequivocal good and…yeah. They weren’t.
