    Dear Doc,
    You said a few months ago that you had a few copies of De Qian's Shaolin Encyclopedia. I did not reply earlier because I was without computer access. I did not see them in the docstore so what do I do if I am interested in buying a set? Also do you have any kind of an estimate on their price, if you can sell them?
    Thank you!

    It's completely in Chinese. And I think I have a few copies, but I'm not sure. I can get more. Are you sure you want one?? Lot of money for something that you can't read.

      They run around 3-5 hundred usually. There is a guy that'll sell you a 100 dollar copy on disc that posts on the shaolin forum at kung fu magazine's site.

        Does this guy realize that he's in violation of international copyright laws? Last time I spoke with DeQian, he didn't give anyone rights to his book.

          I know they're all in Chinese, but while I realize it will be very difficult, I thought it might be a fun challenge to try to translate them. But right now I am mostly curious about the price. Thanks!

            You don't want to try to translate it. A lot of it is in the older, "more traditional" Mandarin, as opposed to "simple" which is common now. Even some Chinese I know have difficulty reading it.
