I studied Chinese art many years ago and my partner is obsessed with dragons (to put it mildly), so I was really interested to read this book. Thankfully, I was not in the least disappointed. Unlike some of the obscure Chinese art history I studied, this book clearly explains the important place dragons hold in Chinese culture and makes the core concepts accessible. The images are amazing and I also really appreciated the diversity, from photos of ceramics and instruments, to architecture, wall hangings and more. If you're at all interested in either dragons or Chinese culture, then you really should get this book.
