Sun Tzu’s Art of War – boxed set including postcard
This is one of the finest items we have ever seen from China Post, and it was a localised product from Shenzhen Senruiqiao Culture Development Co. We will describe it briefly, but see several photos (20307478B through G) as more descriptive aids.
The entire item comes in a hardwood box measuring 5-5/8″ x 8″ x 2-1/2″. (Some very minor dings in the wood can be treated with a good furniture polish.) Open the hinged lid to see, inside the top cover, a book containing a mint stamp set and a serially numbered certificate that is also a postcard with a pre-printed stamp.
Yes, that’s a little magnifying glass in the middle, and you would need it to read these bamboo scrolls that each unroll to reveal chapters of Sun Tzu’s work. A search engine will tell you all about him, and we will now let the other photos speak for themselves. If you want more information that we can provide, please ask. Special postage rate (at cost) will apply. To be fair, because of those very very minor marks on the box, we will call the entire product as Grade 2, though it is reasonably Grade: 1
