Vintage book The Poems Of Chairman Mao Rare 1967 Plum Blossom Edition excellent

A rare and highly collectible 1967 edition of Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong毛泽东主席, widely known as the “Little Red Book.”

This particular copy is the sought-after Golden Plum Blossom (Meihua梅花) edition, prized among collectors for its distinctive design and historical significance during the Cultural Revolution period.

The book contains 377 pages and is complete, featuring a combination of color illustrations and black-and-white images, as issued. This edition represents an important artifact of 20th-century Chinese political history and propaganda printing.

Condition:
Overall condition is excellent for its age.
The binding remains firm and intact.

All 377 pages are present and complete.
A visible split/crack is present below the front endpaper (title/introductory page area), but does not affect the completeness of the text.
The interior is generally clean, with expected light wear consistent with age.

The book includes both color plates and monochrome illustrations; however, there is evidence of two missing photo inserts/pages, with clear signs of removal (paper loss in that section).
Minor handling wear may be present.

Notes for Collectors:
Despite the noted imperfections, this is a scarce Plum Blossom edition in very respectable condition. Copies with complete pagination are increasingly difficult to find, especially with original illustrated content.
