This is quite a collector's item as it is an early English text on Wing Chun. It has been noted that it is the first English Wing Chun book which makes it very collectible and historically a very interesting item.

Excerpts

Perhaps one day the Chinese will lift completely the bamboo curtain, which hides their boxing secrets, but in the meantime the reader may wonder when he next visits a Chinese restaurant if the bland manner of the waiter conceals a deadly practitioner of the Eagle Claw system or the White Eyebrow school, as the case may be.
Page 8, added by ironJade.

To show that this book was from a time when Chinese martial arts were held in secrecy.
