    This Taiwanese version WQY’s tesuji books was still available in
    Beijing at http://senseis.xmp.net/?TiandiJian.

    Thank you for your great effort, the word list Chinese – Japanese – English is very useful !

    Greeting,
    Thomas

    Hi Tchan. You’ve got a wonderful blog. I have a quick question about the Chinese version of the Segoe Tesuji Dictionary. Apart from the obvious language difference and the slight difference in order of chapters, would you say the Chinese edition is just as good as the Japanese one? Or would there be any special reason why one would want to wait until they decide to reprint the Japanese edition? Thanks! Kenji

      In terms of physical books, the print and paper quality of the softcover Japanese version is higher quality than the hardcover Taiwanese version. Otherwise the content of the Taiwanese version is just as good as the Japanese version in my opinion.

      Obviously if you understand Japanese, that would be the more preferable version for you to buy if available. But who knows when the publisher will reprint the Japanese version which is currently out of print.

      In terms of the importance of these books, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy the Taiwanese version while they are still available. The content is a most invaluable addition to your knowledge of tesuji.
