Reviews

Courageously delves into the perceived world of vice and presents a compelling narrative of gambling in Chinese history…Focusing on players, organizers, and bureaucrats who intersected with lottery practices, [this book] revisits several central themes of late imperial China from a fresh perspective…Overall, scholars interested in exam culture, game, printing, taxation, and the Chinese diaspora will find this book refreshing and stimulating. -- Chenxi Luo * Chinese Studies International *
