It is actually better than expected as it seems to be printed on rice paper which has been doubled so if you take it apart to use in crafting, like I do, then you end up with not only the beautiful writing/printing but also an extra pages of blank rice paper which is wonderful to use in any kind of crafting.

I do not read nor understand Chinese dialects. However, a friend of mine does as she is American of Chinese-Mongolian ancestry, 6 generations ago. She told me that the books were quite old. She enjoyed reading them, especially, as some of the vocabulary is very different from that of today's written Chinese.

Almost for sure a recent print, looking at the quality of the paper and the cords.
