A charming yet serious book of wok cookery, from the iconic San Francisco publisher Nitty Gritty Productions. Replete with at least 40 pages of instructions for seasoning and using a wok, instruments used to cook with, etc. Recipes include beef balls deep fried, steamed five-fragrant spices seasoned pork with broken rice, homemade salted eggs, sweet and sour fish, etc. Illustrations are of Chinese restaurants and businesses, noodle-makers, fishermen, utensils, etc. 

Dog-earing to a few pages, else very good.
