A great read and a great teacher

Exactly what I wanted! I bought an abacus but was a little sketchy on some of the arithmetic operations... no worries, because this book painstakingly lays out every single bit of knowledge in a very straightforward way in order to teach anyone how to use the abacus at your own pace. Best of all, the answer guide in the back lets you know if you made a mistake in your calculations to the sample problems questions offered, and the real world applications certainly were interesting to learn about.

abacus book

I bought the book so that I could learn to use a Chinese abacus that I found at a thrift store. I received the book very clean and brand new. It arrived as scheduled. I read the beginning portions of the book and find it simple enough for a novice to learn how to perform simple arithmetic using the abacus. I have not yet advanced to the more complicated operations like cube root. I recommend buying a Chinese abacus along with the book, otherwise it can easily be passive reading.

The best book so far on the Chinese abacus.

Typical of this author, the technical detail and writing style makes it very easy to understand and use the hexadecimal system of the Chinese with an abacus.I was very familiar with the hexadecimal system in computers, but this books explains how to incorporate this into it's use on the Chinese style abacus.Only until recently, I did not even know I Japanese used the decimal system for math and the Chinese used the hexadecimal system.

Best book on the subject that I ever read.

I have long been interested in the abacus. I bought my first one when I was14 or so. It came with an instructional pamphlet that was hard to follow.This book has clear explanations and even exercises to make learning how touse an abacus easier.You still need to practice.

Good guide

I haven't been that far through this book, but I can say it makes learning abacus fun! I just wish it were a little cheaper. It's a good textbook, but a little pricey for my taste.

Great Book

I bought this book wanting to learn how to use an abacus and have had no previous experience- I'm pretty sure I hadn't even held one before. This book is very easy to read and the directions are very clear. I strongly suggest it!
