520    "A charming look at felines photographed in a range of 
       quirky and atmospheric shops across China, reflecting the 
       country's unique culture and the good fortune these cats 
       bring their owners. Cats are an adorable feature of daily 
       life in China. Countless stores keep cats, and many store 
       owners believe the enigmatic animals bring good luck to 
       their establishments. Each cat is an essential part of the
       shops in which they live and hunt and reign as little 
       emperors of their retail kingdoms. In this delightful and 
       intriguing book, these frisky felines are photographed in 
       their store environments with their owners. A one-of-a-
       kind publication, this book pairs captivating photographs 
       with light-hearted haiku on shop life. When photographer 
       Marcel Heijnen moved to China he was immediately drawn to 
       these photogenic mousers. And while the cats are 
       undoubtedly the furry celebrities of his photographs, each
       shot delivers an insightful glimpse into China's busy 
       retail life. From dried sh and rice to paper sellers and 
       tea merchants, the photographs' backgrounds present 
       traditional Chinese retail culture in all its colorful 
       glory."--|cAmazon.ca.
