Your gallery reminds me of my numerous capers up and down the South China Sea, my midnight voyages from Hong Kong to Macao, my narrow escapes in Old Shanghai as I chased the Brass Monkey and the Jade Dragon.
Yes, the covers of your pocket novels conjure up many fond and lusty memories of a time before the French were driven out of China. Your selection is outstanding and will cause me to settle back and read about the times of Oriental intrique...until I doze off.

I encountered this book cover while browsing Flickr--and I fell in love. Oh, for the days when a sailor's excitement was a pocketbook of this genre. Thanks to Uilke whose photstream on Flickr is full of exciting book covers. Thanks, and to my readers, check out the books in the photostream UK Vintage's photostream.
