This is a publisher's review copy, retaining the original HarperCollins review slip, and contains six pages of extensive pencilled notes at the rear, evidently made in preparation for a review or critical assessment of the book. The volume comes from the personal library of the distinguished theatre director, writer and biographer Alan Strachan (1944-2025), acquired directly from his library at his former home in Invergowrie. Although the authorship of the pencilled notes has not been established, their presence in a review copy from Strachan's library provides an interesting literary association.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWild Swans; Three Daughters of China, by Jung Chang.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePublished by HarperCollinsPublishers, London, 1991.

Faint ring mark to rear cover although not immediately obvious, but can be caught in the light.
