This is the official book you buy at the Terra Cotta Warriors museum bookstore. It shows signs of being written by a non-native English speaker/writer, although it's quite understandable, the awkwardness is minimal. For instance, I'm not sure why it is called the "Terra-Cotta Army of Dreams", I suppose it was the Emperor's dreams, since he had them made, and most of them are rather cute in a pensive sort of way, (they were made a foot taller than the average soldier of the time's height), if I had been cruisiing the bars of the area 2200 years ago I might have been interested. Their heads detach from their bodies, so it might have been possible to mix and match.
