Can you read these Chinese characters for me?

I have a three volume Chinese book published in the 1970s with this title.
Can you tell me what it says?
Thanks!
Manual of the Mustard Seed Garden [...] is a printed manual of Chinese painting compiled during the early-Qing Dynasty. Many renowned later Chinese painters, like Qi Baishi, began their drawing lessons with the manual. It is an important early example of colour printing.

Since that went so well, I've added the rest of the information
Is there a publisher name there?
Thanks again!

It's published by the Hong Kong division of the Zhonghua (or Chung Hwa) Book Company.

If you have a smartphone, you can use the Google Translate app to translate texts from images just by photographing them, like this. It's really convenient.
