Hi George,

As I was reading Steven's book, a small insert (1/3 page)  fell out. I am posting it here incase if you or others do not have it. Whomever owned my book really took good care of it. This is the first time, I see a book this thickness where the owner seems to have prefolded each page to the front or back before reading.

Insert for page Xiii

Bottle Sizes. With only a few exceptions. the photos show bottles in approximately actual size. The significant exceptions are:

 Larger then actual size: 186, 224, 415, 429, 446, 478, 496, 554-56, 670, 738, 760, 762, 770, 799, 800, 802, 803, 944

 Smaller than actual size: 180, 189-91, 395, 412, 480, 686, 761, 763, 787, 921-25

You guys are right, this is a great book too. Story point of view, Perry's is better. But, technical point of view, I love this one (and the photos!).  It actually also got me thinking about Qing history more.
