O.P. How to find a Chinese Book
About 18 months ago I was asked if Screenshot Sender could be included in a book and I found the email about it the other day and thought it would be quite cool to try and get a copy.

But i don't read chinese so I dont have a clue how I could go about finding a copy.  I know the book was called 'The Tactic Application of Using MSN' and that it was published in Traditional Chinese and then in Simplified Chinese and that the publishers website is http://www.flag.com.tw.

Thats about all I know and I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas about how I might go about trying to get a copy, as when I try going on there website, I obviously don't understand a word of it.

RE: How to find a Chinese Book
The book costs $280 TWD, and delivering it to UK will cost some other hundreds dollars (I'll have to check it out). So the total fee will be about 10~20 Pounds. :)

I can buy it for you, Dempsey, if you want to tell me your Credit Card number :P The Flags does have the service to deliver books overseas. Of course, you can mail the guy that mailed you too... ;)

Oh by the way, most of our plugins have got only two pages in the book... (At least Hopper does, I didn't check for other plugins though.. didn't buy the book :P)

ah yea that would be cool, the only prob is i dont have a credit card, just a debit card which they prob wouldnt accept.  Unless i could do something like send you the money over paypal or something (plus your handling free :P)  and then you could order it or something?

RE: How to find a Chinese Book
I don't have a credit card either :(

Edit: Well, I can buy the book for you, and send it to UK... will just have to head for a bookstore and no credit card is needed :P

Edit 2: I've found my favorite online store, which needs Credit Card (I'll have to ask my mother if she would let me use hers), has the service of delivering books overseas...the total fee would be 616 TWD which is about 10.5 Pounds :)

Edit 3: Are you really going to read that Chinese book? :|

well if you could do that would be really cool :banana:

If you let me know how much the book + postage + your fee is and then we can sort out me paying you by paypal or whatever :D

I can send the money before you get it if needed, let me know.

My post has been updated, Dempsey:)

Well the reason why I said about "Edit 2" was that the my favorite online bookstore has great and trustable service... the often so-called "Amazon Taiwan" :p
