Burmese Design Through Drawings by U Aye Myint, translated
by U Thanoe and published by Silpakorn University, 214 pages, paperback, 8 1/2"
x 11 1/2". Only 1,000 copies of this book were printed in 1993, and I was lucky
enough to find a couple of copies on a recent trip to Thailand. I purchased
both copies and am offering this brand new copy here. It is full of illustrations
like the above, and an invaluable reference for anyone interested in Asian design.
