Aha! "The World's Writing Systems" looks suspiciously like another book I have, "Grammatology" (not the one by Derrida). Published in the 90s and similarly priced, but out of print as far as I know. Who wrote the chapter on Chinese? |

I'm pretty sure it's by William G. Boaltz

whose papers about ancient Chinese are full of surprising details, with insight into how the current writing system developed historically.
