sukitc Posted January 10, 2011 at 08:01 AM Report Posted January 10, 2011 at 08:01 AM Hi, I have the complete five copies of the Cracking the Chinese Puzzles by T.K.Ann (published 1982). However, one frustration I have is that in order to look up a character, I need to use the 4-corner index method. This I find very difficult. I notice that T.K.Ann published a follow-up book -- "Indices to Cracking the Chinese Puzzles" in 1990. I wonder whether this book provides an index which is based on a different (and more conventional) character look-up method like radical groups or stroke numbers. I have not been able to find any description of this "Indices..." book at all so I would really appreciate some information from people who have seen the book. Many thanks. Quote
