I Ching

I bought this book as a Christmas gift for my son. he is absolutely delighted with it!

A must!

If what you want is only to find out what tomorrow will bring, then do not waste Mr.Legge time. Although his translation style may not appeal to many, his commentaries are still one of the best on the I Ching.
