Beautiful book about the art of Chinese brush writing
This book is a wonderful insight and learning aid for basic and advanced Chinese reading and writing of characters. With brief explanations of pronunciation and containing Pinyin equivalents for each word, I have found no better guide for writing Chinese. Fully indexed in Pinyin and Chinese with brush strokes and correct order.

at last chinese character large enough to study
What so many books forget is how difficult it can be to read chinese characters in normal print size unless you have spent a few years in the subject. This is a catalogue which with a bit of practice will lead you swiftly you find what you need. I would consider it an essential for anyone learning to write the language.

Excellent guide to Chinese writing
If you want a concise book on how to write Chinese then this is the book for you. The first 1062 Chinese words come complete with the definition and brushstroke diagrams to teach you the correct method of writing in Chinese. Great book for beginners or for those who have 'forgotten' over the years to write in Chinese.
