We’ve just released two oversized hardcover books that will make perfect gifts. They are the complete versions of our two best-selling Chinese novels, “Journey to the West” and “The Last King of Shang” (based on Investiture of the Gods).
For both novels, we’ve converted the entire story – in Simplified Chinese, pinyin and English – into a single very large book. Each book is 8.5″ wide, 11″ high, and weighs over 5 pounds. Because the pages are oversized, the Chinese characters are large enough to be (we hope) easily readable even if you’re not an advanced student of the language.
The books will look great on that nice table you have in your living room, or on the shelf in your library.
As of right now, the books are only available at Barnes & Noble, but we hope they’ll be on Amazon in the next week or so.
The Journey to the West is 977 pages, and uses 2,238 Chinese words. Buy it from Amazon here, or Barnes & Noble here.
The Last King of Shang is 728 pages, and uses 2,138 Chinese words. Buy it from Amazon here, or Barnes & Noble here.
