Member pachito23 Posted December 15, 2023 Member Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) I'm interested in this book. Any opinions? Published both in Chinese and English. Thank you in advance. Currently being sold for 70 EUR :-( Edited December 15, 2023 by pachito23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yihetuan Posted December 15, 2023 Member Share Posted December 15, 2023 Yes I have that book as well & it's definitely worth owning. It's a shame that it's always so expensive. I've actually seen it sold for $200 on eBay! It's listed as OOP & rare even though I bought 3 copies online from a HK bookstore for less than $20 & gave them away as gifts to friends. This was just a couple years ago during COVID. I recently checked that bookstore again but unfortunately now it's listed as out of stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted December 15, 2023 Member Share Posted December 15, 2023 I got it at hkbookcity some years ago, it's still on stock there. The prices are HK dollars. Delivery was long but cheap, IIRC I paid about 40 EUR for this, Chu Yuan's Oral History and shipment. https://www.hkbookcity.com/showbook2.php?serial_no=141882 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked it was out of stock but glad to see it's still in print. @pachito23, this store is completely trustworthy but like @Chu Liu Hsiang mentioned the shipping is a bit slow but better than spending 70 euros!

Also, did you have to pay customs fees before or after the shipping ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can`t speak for this store but usually habit is when order from HK you pay customs when items are in your country. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
