(This arrived in my email - just passing it on.)

"Hello,
In trying to assist a client we seek to buy a 19th c. Chinese-language edition of the I Ching.
Does anyone have something of the sort to offer us?
Thank you,

Hi Hilary
I sent them this comment. Maybe Harmen or LiSe or someone else knows something I don't. For Clarity members:

Seems like an odd request without mention of a specific edition, unless this person wants to be sure of getting traditional characters.
The last great Chinese redaction I know of is eighteenth century, the Imperial Edition of the Emperor Kang Xi, 1715. It's the version the old translators worked from. The price is right for two large volumes.

Li Guangdi, ed. Zhouyi Zhezhong. 1715; Reprint, Taibei:
Chengwen, 1975. ISBN 957785313 or 669244007
