Celestial Silks: Chinese Religious & Court Textiles
As its name implies, Art Media Resources, a publishing house specializing in Asian art, is in fact a great resource for anyone with a serious interest in the subject. Above and below are some titles that caught my interest. The publisher's catalog also includes a book entirely focused on the evolution of Chinese lacquer and its use on traditional screens: Coromandel Lacquer Screens.
Blanc De Chine: Divine Images in Porcelain
Hidden Meanings in Chinese Art
The Kingdom of Siam: The Art of Central Thailand, 1350-1800
Uzbek Embroidery
Update 6.22.07
Prices for Hidden Meanings in Chinese Art seem to be all over the place -- from $75 to over $150, depending on where you look. I've seen the book on eBay and on the publisher's site priced under $80.

Oh wow! GREAT info here Courtney. You know I will be making a list of books I want, esp. the one on the coromandel screens (which, by the way, I would love to own someday.)
Thanks for the info, I am esp interested in the Coromandel Lacquer Screens book!
Jennifer and GMG,
I'm with you -- I want that book and an actual Coramandel screen :)
