Title: BEWARE - NOT AN INSTRUCTION BOOK
Review: This book is akin to a dictionary. It is NOT an instructional book. From reading the other amazon comments, I was under the impression that I could learn chinese from self-study of this book. This is not the case. Much like a dictionary, it lists the character followed by the meaning and stroke order, and that's it. One could perhaps use this book as a companion dictionary, but I recommend Rick Harbaugh's "Chinese Characters: A Genealogy and Dictionary" for that purpose. In short, this books is not a instruction book, and as a dictionary, it is too short. It is only good at showing you the stroke order of characters.
