I can't read Chinese but I'm going to assume it's something related to bajiquan or tai chi based on the cover.

Also

>I picked this up in a furniture store for a nickel
Just how much alcohol was involved in the thought process that led to this decision, I wonder?

Or actually maybe the I-Ching. Could be that too.

None
Furniture stores around where I live decorate little instilations with books and the like.

Ive gotten some nice old books for around a nickel each. This one just caught my eye.

Can you find out when it was printed? Might be a first edition.

易经十六讲

I Ching, 16...explanations? lectures? not really sure how the jiang fits at the end. Could just be about the 16th hexagram but I would think that would be 第十六讲的易经 or something like that instead.

钟启禄

I think this might be author name. Or maybe some sort of phrase.

中国华侨出版公司

Seems to be name of the publishing company. If you google those characters looks like their website comes up and someone who isn't as shit as I am at chink could maybe work out their site to see if it's the same people that published this and some more info about it. It's all simplified characters so that narrows the timeframe it was likely printed a little.

Hopefully someone who can actually speak chink or knows more than a first year student can come in here and help. Post screenshots of some of the pages.
