Review: 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.
Review: 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good guide
*by C***X on February 27, 2013*

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.
