Customer Reviews

A Great Book!

I completely agree with the review given above by Giasa, but like the book even more than that. This book is great! The hexagram statements are written in modern English, which makes them completely easy to understand, and it is not a big, awkward book. It is slightly smaller, making it a great travel book, which I definitely appreciate, since I intend to hand carry it with me, to help me make difficult decisions. I HIGHLY recomend this book!

A beautiful book

If you are looking for a gift or for a book for yourself, you may like this one. It is beautifully made. The outside is a satin-like fabric in an orange-golden color. The general design is very pleasing, with small pictures of flowers and more, scattered throughout the book. Inside and out, a very attractive book. The style of the book is more like a quick reference. In the front of the book is an explanation on how to cast your coins and how to get your result. After the introduction, it offers keywords and how to relate the result of your coins to your questions. Overall, an easy to use book, and a lot more pleasing to the eye than most others I have seen.
