Teaching the I Ching by Geoffrey Redmond and Tze-Ki Hon, Oxford University Press 2014.


Though this book is relatively old, 2014, I can warmly recommend it. Lend it or buy it, it's worth it.

I am a big fan of this book. While it is aimed at, say, a professor of Chinese literature's needs, I think anyone on Clarity would greatly enjoy and appreciate it. It is clearly written and has some fresh viewpoints. I review it https://contemplatingiching.wordpress.com/2015/11/08/review-teaching-the-i-ching-book-of-changes/
Redmond has since come out with his own translation of the I Ching. https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/the-i-ching-book-of-changes-9781472514134/.
A blurb from publisher's site:
“Geoffrey Redmond provides his readers with an excellent point of entry into the fascinating world of the I Ching-a lucid, insightful and extremely valuable translation, undertaken with a full appreciation of the scholarly controversies that have surrounded the cryptic classic for more than two thousand years.” – Richard J Smith, George and Nancy Rupp Professor of Humanities and Professor of History, Rice University, USA,

As You write in your review, it's quite expensive. I think it can be read even in two years or more from now (like with to example Shaughnessy's studies) and that the Used-price will be more reasonable.
I like it's strict clearness. (Lend it on the library if in doubt: ISBN 978-0-19-976681-9 hardback)
