Excellent! But Michael, do check on some identifiable key points. I'm still angry how they "translated" a book I wanted my wife to read, the cutesy but somewhat practical "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" by John Grey. They basically used the title and wrote their own crap. Then again, maybe I should get a second opinion, Martian that I am. Jim
Wow, that would be a tough one to translate, what with all the pop culture references, etc., that would be totally obscure to Taiwanese audiences. I wonder how it was done.

Yeah, I was curious about the quality of translation. Let everyone know on the quality if you check it out.
I bought the Chinese translation for a friend six years ago. The English version came out in 1994 and the Chinse in 1998.
