Time- Posted December 6, 2005 at 11:59 AM Report Posted December 6, 2005 at 11:59 AM Hi all. I'd like to know the price of books in China. Could you tell me how much does it cost a book hard cover, say, Harry Potter, or a pocket book, fiction or children's literature? Many thanks. Ciao Quote
gougou Posted December 6, 2005 at 12:25 PM Report Posted December 6, 2005 at 12:25 PM Check www.dangdang.com, the Chinese equivalent to Amazon (books sell at a discount there, but you can see the original price as well.) Quote
Time- Posted December 6, 2005 at 12:32 PM Author Report Posted December 6, 2005 at 12:32 PM Well, I tried the link you suggested bu it's a bit complicated...I couldn't find the English page and of course it isn't in Pinyn... Quote
malinuo Posted December 7, 2005 at 12:09 AM Report Posted December 7, 2005 at 12:09 AM I have a paperback copy of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in Chinese in front of me. It says 22 yuan. (I bought it in the US and had to pay $14 there.) Quote

Lu Posted December 11, 2005 at 10:12 PM Report Posted December 11, 2005 at 10:12 PM Most Chinese books I bought were around 20 yuan. But you're right, imported books are more expensive. Quote
