Description

Photographer Xu Yong took 500 portraits of Zi U - a sex worker in Beijing. He accompanied her on a normal working day to continually take close-ups of her face, often right after a customer had said goodbye. Together with Zi U's diary entries, Xu recorded her life and mood. The result provides realistic and intimate insights into the lives of sex workers in China. On page after page, the book shows how a Chinese woman observes and reacts to the world. Zi U's face reflects her personal feelings about life as well as the longings of present-day China. The series is banned there; this illustrated volume makes it accessible.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
