Unveiling the Past: Glenn P. Wood’s Masterpieces Captivate Readers at the Manila International Book Fair 2025

At the bustling Manila International Book Fair 2025 (MIBF), Veritas Ink & Press drew in history lovers, art enthusiasts, and curious readers alike with two extraordinary works by acclaimed author and collector Glenn P. Wood: “Timeless Miracles: A Journey Through Chinese Antiques” and “A History of the World in 10 Objects.” Both titles sparked immense interest at the booth, making it one of the most visited spaces of the fair.

A Journey Through Chinese Antiquities

“Timeless Miracles” invites readers into the remarkable world of Chinese antiques, where every artifact tells a story that bridges centuries of artistry, tradition, and culture. Glenn P. Wood, known for his keen eye and dedication to preserving heritage, guides readers through treasures that reveal the timeless spirit of China’s past. Richly detailed and thoughtfully curated, the book is more than a collector’s showcase—it is an exploration of how beauty and history intertwine.

Civilization Told in Ten Artifacts

In “A History of the World in 10 Objects,” Wood expands his narrative beyond borders, spotlighting ten extraordinary artifacts that shaped civilizations and changed the course of humanity. Each object becomes a portal into the past, connecting readers with moments that defined eras, from the rise of empires to cultural revolutions.

Bilingual Parallel Text: A Unique Feature

What sets both books apart is their parallel text presentation—each work is published bilingually, in either Chinese or Japanese alongside English. This innovative approach not only preserves the authenticity of cultural heritage but also makes the books accessible to a wider audience of readers, scholars, and language learners. By pairing history with language, Wood’s works serve as both cultural treasures and educational tools.

The Veritas Ink & Press booth became a hub of excitement, with visitors pausing to marvel at Wood’s works. Many attendees expressed fascination at the way his books make history accessible—offering not only scholarly insight but also a sense of wonder.
