I have posted the China Booklist many times before. Tonight I received the latest list. I didn't see anything relevant for Clarity other than a dictionary, so I didn't posted it. However, I saw this book listed and I almost choked. Good thing I wasn't drinking a soda or I would be wiping by laptop right this minute... http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/I_Ching_community/clipart/happy.gif Notice the publication date...
