GULIK, Robert van (author and illustrator). The Lacquer Screen: A Chinese Detective Story. New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons. [1969.]

First US edition of the sixth Judge Dee novel, originally published in 1962 by Art Printing Works, Kuala Lumpur.

Following the traditional Chinese detective structure, Judge Dee must unravel three mysteries. To assist him, he forms an alliance with the local magistrate Chiao Tai, and together they infiltrate the criminal underworld of Wei-ping, remaining incognito among the gangsters for two tense days and nights.

Judge Dee is based on the seventh-century Tang Dynasty magistrate, Di Renjie. Van Gulik first became interested in this historical figure when he translated Dee Goong An in 1949, and he continued to feature Judge Dee throughout his original crime fiction series (1949-1967). A Dutch diplomat and sinologist, Van Gulik incorporated his research into his fiction and also illustrated his novels; this book contains ten of his distinctive woodblock-style illustrations.

Smells nice
Scent: Berry Bubbly, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This smells nice and is moisturizing but there really isn't any 'fizz' to it. It just foams up like normal soap. 3 pumps on a loofah is enough for a whole shower really, it's very lasting soap and makes for a nice clean feel. The smell doesn't last long after the shower though. Interesting product but most likely won't be buying again.

Olay Intensive hydrating body wash
Scent: Berry Bubbly, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I really love this body wash. It is so good for the body. The smell is a sweet odor, but not strong, just right. I saw where this is a limited product. I hope not, because it leaves me feeling like I put lotion all over.

Smells Clean & Wonderful
Scent: Berry Bubbly, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I got the strawberry fizz wash and it smells divine! It lathers up nicely and provides a good clean feel. It washes cleanly so no residue or stickiness afterwards. Olay is a great product and I would like to try the Wicked scent as well. After using this once, my skin felt soft and amazing.

Perfect for a skin reset
Style: Updated Formula
Sometimes I just need to reset my skin and use gentle non-irritating products. This set is perfect. The thermal water spray is the BEST. I travel with it and it always keeps my skin calm. And hydrated.
