Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung

1st Edition, 1964

A true collectible and one of the rarest books in the world.

This first edition was published in May 1964 and has several distingushing characteristics; 30 chapters; 250 pages; inscription by Comrade Lin Biao containing a brush stroke error; and no printing data at the back of the book. It has come to be know as The Little Red Book.

This white paper cover edition is generally accepted to have been the first released stlye, followed immediately by the more sturdy red vinyl covered, both having the aforementioned characteristics.

BKS 00248

Quotations from Vice Chairman Lin

Quotations from the most controversial figure of the Cultural Revolution!  Following his death in 1971 Lin Piao's words and images were expunged from history in China.  This book is a rare example and very collectible edition with common and uncommon pictures of Chairman Mao with Lin Piao.

This particular edition has a special endorsement from the People's Daily that gives credit to Lin for his work and contributions. Ownership of this book praising Lin would have put the owner's life and liberty in peril after Lin's downfall and the fact it has survived is remarkable.
