She’s from mainland China and her favorite book of all time is “The Tale of Genji.” Are there any special editions or something I can grab? I obviously can’t get an autographed copy as the author has been dead for over a thousand years, but I dunno, anything she’d really appreciate for her birthday?
She does already have three copies, like two in Mandarin and one in English. I suppose she doesn’t have a Japanese copy yet but surely there isn’t some “special collector’s Japanese version” or something?
I obviously can’t spend more than…well, $500 is probably around my limit. I’d rather spend, like, $100-300 if possible. I do see stuff from Googling (like on Abe Books) but I’m unfamiliar with the topic to know if it’s a scam or anything.
