Hear ye! Hear ye!

Back by popular demand (about three people have asked me for this over the years, one very recently... :) )

About three years ago I posted this in my blog: http://tinyurl.com/o8wvx but the link has been broken for a while due to server space issues. I've just created a new page on another one of my accounts. The new and consolidated link for the three books I've scanned is as follow: Scanned Yi Books (http://www.yitoons.com/yibooks.html)

Read my original blog post and it explains a little about what it is. The front page has the book boards and to the left there is a menu with links to each of the books. Beware, Book One is heavy to load.

Cheers,

Luis

PS: For the newbies, sometimes I've more than jokes... (not much else, mind you) :D

but thankfully there's lots of diagrams. The chinese characters are so neat and tidy they look a bit like re-arranged diagrams. After seeing this in a couple of places, it seems quite obvious now, but I'd never really seriously considered that except for the diagrams which have the same inverse, each diagram easily represents 2 values. Of course there are nuclear diagrams, opposites and other relationships but those are a bit more of a mental juggle. When you can't read the words and you don't know which way is up you can just turn the page upsidedown and read off the second set.
