Tianjin42 Posted March 26, 2013 at 11:40 AM Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 at 11:40 AM Just a quick query: has anyone managed yet to buy Remembering the Simplified Hanzi in Beijing? I had a few issues with delivery of things of late so rather than ship over I thought I should be able to pick the book up out here. After a few searches on the forum and a few calls to Beijing bookshops (including the bookworm) it seems not. The google play store and kindle don't stock it. I am happy to pay legally for a copy if you know of a reputable download even. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysun731 Posted March 27, 2013 at 01:46 AM Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 at 01:46 AM I find and download a PDF file called remembering simplified hanzi – book 1, which has 67 pages. If this is what you are looking for, you can send me a private message to tell me your email or other contact ways. I will send the PDF to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
大肚男 Posted March 27, 2013 at 03:00 AM Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 at 03:00 AM I think what Andy is.talking about is the free preview, which contains the first couple of sections. After I bought a hard copy of the simplified and Japanese books, I downloaded a copy of the traditional version to see if I can get into, but decided against that and deleted the file. the morale of the story, if you can't find a legit copy to buy, I'm pretty sure you can download a copy using bittorrent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tianjin42 Posted March 27, 2013 at 03:10 AM Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 at 03:10 AM Cheers, got the free sample already thank you. I may have to ship over but seems strange that it is so difficult to get it on the ground in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted March 27, 2013 at 11:09 AM Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 at 11:09 AM No discussion of pirated study material thanks. T&C's for further info, linked below the reply box. Email an admin if you have any queries. What might be worth trying is an ad in thebeijinger, offering to buy a second hand copy - there must be hundreds unused around the city.

PBolchover Posted March 31, 2013 at 02:18 AM Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 at 02:18 AM Most Chinese bookstores only stock domestic teaching materials, not foreign-published ones. That being said, I think that I've seen a copy in Page One - the big bookshop in Guomao. Alternative, the Foreign Languages Bookstore in Wangfujing has some foreign-published learning chinese books (but there's in a completely different section from the domestically published ones) Downstairs in the Xidan bookstore is another option - I've seen some of the Tuttle materials there. (Once again, this is completely separate from their domestic published material, which is up on the 3rd floor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
