       Not too many details about the actual -- and very brief (only over the weekend ?) - exhibit at Peking University's library (aside: they still call Beijing U 'Peking U' ? better that 'Peiping', I guess, but still ...) but it sounds pretty awesome: they acquired well over 20,000 books from Japan a couple of years ago and gave the public a brief glimpse of them; now, apparently: "access to these rare books will be by appointment only" (though they are planning to "digitalize" -- "Going digital is a solution").
       See their press releases, 28,000 ancient books return to China and Rare ancient Chinese books exhibited in Beijing, as well as the report, Relic books on display -- which notes: "The university plans to build a new library to house the ancient books".
