Reprint. Black and white line illustrations by G. Sapojnikoff, xvii + 318pp. Paperback. "Four Hundred Million Customers (1937) is a collection of humorous essays and piquant anecdotes underpinned by well-informed insight and highlighted by witty drawings by G. Sapojnikoff. Like a bowl of salted peanuts, these vignettes make you want more. The book was welcomed on its publication as the most entertaining and instructive introduction to the rapidly modernizing people of the new China and their resilient customs. While it has been taught in recent years at the Harvard Business School, the book - or at least its title - has been cited much more than read, usually to illustrate American illusions about the China market. Yet the book has lost none of its still perceptive insights into China, which is now more than triple four hundred million." (Publisher's description).

Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good-. G. Sapojnikoff [Georgii Avksent'ievich Sapojnikoff; Sapajou] (illustrator). Early Reprint. Large 8vo. Pp. [9], 10-316, [1]. Illustrated with spot illustrations throughout by G. Sapojnikoff. Decorated endpapers. Bound in black cloth with gilt title block on spine. Slight evidence of wear, with front board just a trifle bowed. In the full color-illustrated dust jacket, price-clipped and with edge-wear, but with brilliant colors. Please see photos. Carl Crow offers his experiences in translating Chinese tastes and distastes for things Western, from poker (he sold untold numbers of a guide to the card game) to cheese (a failed experiment in Chinese marketing). He relates the story of chop suey, sold in nearly every quarter of the world . except China: "Beggar's hash, it was first fed to drunk miners in San Francisco, 1849, by the proprietor of the first US Chinese restaurant. Cobbled together with diners' leftovers, it was all he could do to avoid violence. Such are the nuggets found in Crow's expansive narrative. From the mid-1920s-on, Sapojnikoff, who worked under the nom-de-plume "Sapajou," was staffer on the North-China Daily News, the foremost English-language newspaper in China and perhaps all of the Far East. The whimsy and dynamism of his illustrations warranted work for many book projects. The bright dust jacket is now housed in a removable, clear archival sleeve. .

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Illustrated by Sapojnikoff, with cartoons throughout ; 317 pp. ; important psychological study of Chinese habits and consumer practices ; "No matter what you may be selling, your business in China should be enormous, if the Chinese who should buy your goods would only do so." But will they'. 400 Million Customers is essential reading for all foreigners seeking to do business in the booming economies of Asia, and all analysts of globalization and cultural difference. Carl Crow opened the first western advertising agency in Shanghai and ran it for twenty-five years, promoting everything from American lipsticks and moisturizers to French brandy and pharmaceuticals, and nothing was straightforward. In this highly readable account of his work in Shanghai, illustrated with delightful line drawings, Crow uses anecdotes and examples to illustrate the particular challenges of doing business in China. In Crow's time, no foreigners managed to dominate the Chinese market, and today -- when the population of China has trebled - the question remains whether the country is a potential mass market for the west, or a golden illusion. Crow's book remains as apt now as when it was written in 1937, and leading business schools recommend it as one of the best accounts of Chinese business culture." ; ex-lib ; library binding ; no dustjacket ; pockets, labels, stamps ; FAIR [This listing contains text in Chine se GB fonts].
