Sotheby's Hong Kong: Twenty Years, 1973–1993, a rare commemorative publication edited by Julian Thompson and published in 1993 by Sotheby's in association with the Tai Yip Company.

* Content: It features a comprehensive retrospective celebrating two decades of high-profile auctions in Hong Kong, highlighting over 700 superb color illustrations of Chinese ceramics, works of art, and ink paintings.

* Format: A large quarto-sized (4to) hardcover with a red cloth binding, wrapped in the distinctive black multi-paneled dust jacket shown in your image.

* Due to its scarcity and utility as a reference for serious collectors of Chinese art, original copies are highly sought after, with rare book dealers and specialty art sellers valuing pristine editions up to nearly $2,000 depending on condition.

Hardcover book with red cloth binding is in like new shape with no writing, underlining or bent pages; binding is clean and crisp as are the cloth covers. The original dust jacket was torn and has been repaired with tape on the front cover.
