 Why buy a character book? July 11, 2008
I bought this book years ago because it was on one of these Amazon lists, and when I got it, I couldn't figure out what to do with it. Because I was learning Chinese in university, I didn't have a shortage of materials like dictionaries. Then why "bei danzi" / memorize single characters? That's the way Chinese study English in college, which is why it's so tough for them. No. Take the "read, write, speak, listen" approach. I guess if you're learning to write all by yourself you might need something like this. I don't know.
 EXCELLENT FOR CHARACTER RECOGNITION & WRITING June 23, 2008
This is an excellent book for learning Chinese character recognition and writing. Despite indexing errors, I would recommend this book to all those who want to learn how to write and read Chinese. The book is well organized with similar sounding and similar looking characters arranged in learning facilitating sequence. In the first part of the book, which shows 1067 characters, each page presents 5 characters with the sequence of strokes clearly displayed.
Do not be misguided by negative reviews written by some of the buyers. Look at the over-all rating and rely on the positive reviews provided by many readers.
Everything a beginner needs! May 20, 2008
Great book with detailed stroke information for thousands of characters in a great format. I have yet to look for a character that was not included in this book.
My only issues with the book were the actual ordering of the characters (which, to me, seems arbitrary), and the fact the only nine individual strokes are depicted. So, for characters with more than 9 strokes, you have to do a little improvisation to write them out.
Fantastic resource that I am taking with me to Taiwan (traditional and simplified forms of the characters are shown, thank goodness).
ideal for the mandarin student April 6, 2008
I've bought my chinese textbooks in my struggle to learn mandarin, and this has been the best one by far. By explaining the origin of the words, and linking the characters to images, it shapes a jumble of hieroglyphics into recognizable symbols, even mnemonics.

After studying pinyin during 1 yr, I badly needed an easy access to chinese characters and this book is the total solution.
I couldn't imagine a better help by the character study.
