flameproof Posted March 22, 2008 at 11:09 AM Report Posted March 22, 2008 at 11:09 AM There are numerous sources where you can buy books and other study material online. If you are in China, there are plenty of online shops you can order from. Amazon Bookmall DangDang Plus many more. For those not yet well into Chinese reading I suggest: http://www.studychineseculture.com It is in English, it does export overseas, and it's run by a member of this forum (hi Elina!) Another alternative is checking eBay. There are a few ebay sellers that are heavily into Chinese books. Some sell from China, some from other places. To name a few regular sellers shops: http://stores.ebay.de/Chinesisch-lernen http://stores.ebay.com/China-folk-collection http://stores.ebay.com/HeyChinese http://stores.ebay.com/IQChinese I presume that those located in China can help you to get what you want if they don't have it already. For book shops in individual cities please check under "Living in China" Quote
elina Posted March 22, 2008 at 12:45 PM Report Posted March 22, 2008 at 12:45 PM Hi Flameproof, thanks for the listing, I just changed your sentence of “it's run buy a member of this forum (hi Elina !)” into this one: it's run by a member of this forum (hi Elina!) We have already noticed those similar bookshops on Ebay, and found the products on our site are more complete than them till now, except Chinese Go Game/I-go/weichi in one Ebay store, do the foreigners like to play it? If so, we will add this kind of products to our site later. If one has enough Chinese level to read the Chinese characters on their sites, I think the best way is to buy books on amazon.cn and dangdang.com, Otherwise, the bookstores in your list are 各有千秋/each has its strong point.

flameproof Posted March 22, 2008 at 01:04 PM Author Report Posted March 22, 2008 at 01:04 PM whoops, some spelling errors.... Maybe a good soul can also input the main book shops in the big cities. For BJ it would the the one in WFJ and the one near Tiananmen. In SH there's this 7 storey place on Fuzhou Lu. Quote

muyongshi Posted March 22, 2008 at 01:38 PM Report Posted March 22, 2008 at 01:38 PM The ones for the specific cities should go in the city guides otherwise we could have a billion stores in this one place... Quote
flameproof Posted March 22, 2008 at 01:49 PM Author Report Posted March 22, 2008 at 01:49 PM good point! Book shopping is usually a major part of any China city visit that I do. Quote
