A great and reliable on line store for text books and materials

[Dariush]

Hi,

After searching for text books and materials in Taiwan which use (simplified Chinese) - and having no success - I decided to check out the internet to buy my books online. After checking various places I almost bought my books from sellers based in America - but was put off by their prices however I decided to look a bit longer and I came across chineselanguageandculturestore on ebay, which is located in Beijing. They have an amazing range of Chinese textbooks for HSK, learning Chinese in general (should check it out and see) as well as other aspects of Chinese culture such as Tai - Qi. I bought the whole series of New Practical Chinese Reader as well as a whole load of HSK materials. They were all carefully packed and arrived very quickly. The seller is very friendly and I was even sent free gifts! As I bought alot of materials from the seller I recieved a good bit of discount on the shipping price.

If you're in the same situation I was in and were unable to get your hands on the Chinese text books you need - and don't want to pay crazy amounts for them - go and have a look at the ebay store - chineselanguageandculturestore. Right, I can start studying now.

Seems to be this one - looks like a reasonable range of stuff, anyone tried them?

Yeah, that's the store - sorry, I didn't know how to add the link.

If I ever need anymore materials I will happliy use them again. I don't know why but with some of the other stores you had to work out the shipping price by calculating the weight of the total package (I mean how can you calculate the weight of a book that you can't get your hands on in the first place right?) as well as do some other complicated stuff (this was probably because I was ordering from outside the USA). Anyway with this store they do all the complicated calculations for you, you just pay and get your stuff.

I know I'm really going on about this store - but I've had a few bad ebay experiences before and I've been stuck in Taiwan without the books I've needed for a few months now. This store made my day so I thought perhaps if anyone else was stuck in a similar situation - they didn't need to suffer (and waste their time).
