I Ching

I bought this book as a Christmas gift for my son. he is absolutely delighted with it!

American "wisdom-reviews"

Yes. Americans: sport those Emperor's clothes; "U.S.A."! But look to the meditation cushion for new Weltanschauung, OK? Cleary knows the I Ching. This is a simple, streamlined pocket edition, one that lends itself to introducing easy familiarization with this most complex work. Play with it, read a few other translations and come back to this one. You will discover it's brilliance. Highly recommend "The Complete I Ching" by Taoist Master Alfred Huang as a working guide for the practitioner.

A must!

If what you want is only to find out what tomorrow will bring, then do not waste Mr.Legge time. Although his translation style may not appeal to many, his commentaries are still one of the best on the I Ching.
