I am in Beijing China.
I begged my friend's friend buy the book for me yesterday because he will come back to Beijing tomorrow.

I can't find a bookstore sells the book in Beijing. Yesterday ,I know I can buy the book from amzon.com if I have a VISA card can withdraw dollars.In China, people can not chane RMB to Dollar arbitrary but people can change Dollar to RMB as his wishes. I never has any dollars so this way to get the book doesn't work to me.

Fortunately, I meet a friend on MSN yesterday by chance and got that his roommate will come back to Beijing tomorrow.

I remember in Shanghai there were a couple of "foreign language" bookstores, and they said that they would order in books on request (with prepayment of course :roll: ). I would have expected that there would be a similar bookstore in Beijing.

But I am glad you found a friend to get it for you.

Regards, Andrew

Sorry Zhixiong, it has been nearly a year since I lived in Shanghai, and I just don't remember the names anymore - one of them I don't think I ever knew the name: it was just around the corner from all the DVD shop and all the computer stores I used to visit on a regular basis (man is it hard to find a legitimit DVD shop in Shanghai :roll: ).

You can find some bookstores listed here.

Regards, Andrew

The book, both papers and contents are good.
 
The glass is neither half full or half empty. It is too big. But this tiny ad is just right:
