Abstract
For some books, reading the review is enough; a brief synopsis and a sense of how the reviewed work fits into the wider scholarly literature are all one has time to absorb anyway. For other books, the review only needs to say one thing: read this book. David Faure's masterpiece falls into the latter category. A short review cannot do it justice; for a full review, I refer the reader to John Lagerwey's review essay ("State and Local Society in Late Imperial China" in T'oung Pao, vol. 93, 2007, pp. 459–479). Here I only briefly discuss what the book sets out to do and how that contributes to the wider field.
