Format:Taschenbuch
This book is a useful guide to Chinese characters, although it has many shortcomings and flaws. It lists 3,200 characters with both their Mandarin and Cantonese pronunciations, and their most common meanings. The main character of each entry is printed large, and the stroke order of the character is given. The relative frequency of occurence of each character is also given. However, no indication of how the characters are used is made, nor are any compounds included in the entries.
The characters are listed in the traditional order according to the Kangxi radicals. The book has indices which list characters according to their Mandarin and Cantonese pronunciations, but they of limited use because the tones are not distinguished in the indices. Moreover, the index lists page references rather than characters themselves, which makes it very tedious to find a character by means of the pronunciation as each page listed has to be checked. There is also an index of meanings, but again, only page references are given, and the meanings are not comprehensive enough to be useful. Basically, one must be familiar with the Kangxi radical system in order to locate characters with any speed.
The Cantonese pronunciations of characters are a great boon to this book, setting it apart from other similar works. However, the merit of this feature is marred by the fact that the vulgar Cantonese pronunciations are given for some characters, instead of the proper ones. These pronunciations are commonly heard in Hong Kong slang, but are nonetheless incorrect.
All in all, this book is generally useful, particularly for its Cantonese pronunciations. The definitions given are brief, and the characters are large and clear. This book is a character text suitable for the beginner in Cantonese or Mandarin.
Format:Taschenbuch
I've only used this book to lookup/review Cantonese characters, and it is very good for that. However, the author really should include some simplified characters now that Hong Kong & Macau have been returned to China. Also, if you have internet access, online dictionaries will a better job (more characters, more romanization methods...) plus provide verbal pronunciation.
Format:Taschenbuch
I felt that the large font used for the Chinese characters helped in locating many characters in the dictionary. For anyone who has ever used a traditional Chinese dictionary, they usually have a tiny typeface capable of inducing severe headaches! Not so here! These Chinese characters are large and bold! Very nice feature, also including the cantonese pronuciation along with the mandarin. This feature alone makes the book worth twice what it is. The step by step drawings for each Chinese character are a great help. I highly recommend this book to any student of Chinese. It has helped me in my studies and I keep it with me everywhere. Also, each character is assigned a number which makes easy locating when I study. This is a great help. The multiple systems of looking up a word are also helpful. They include English, Mandarin PinYin, Cantonese, Stroke Number, and Frequency. Highly recommended. You won't be sorry.

Traditional vs. Simplified Characters?
This book is an excellent source of learning material, but to clarify the misunderstanding observed by the reader from Atlanta, perhaps a future edition should be retitled... Lesen Sie weiter...
