1.0 out of 5 stars A real let down, October 30, 2007

This review is from: The Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes 6e (Paperback)

I own one of the first editions of this book from the early 90's and was really looking forward to this new one. It was really exciting at first to see how much bigger it was( I got the paperback) But there is hardly anything new and revised about it. There was actually a lot of things cut from it. Lists of dates were shortened, leaving big gaps of time and the list for future predictions only went ahead three years while past dates were completely illiminated, unlike the old list where you could compare up to a decade apart. Physically,it's unnecessarily large and cumbersome (hardly a handbook)and has the poor quality of newspaper with the same type of extra small print.The pages of tiny writing are framed by a huge amount of blank space. It only appears to have more content,but is just a waste of space and paper, and my eyes! This book is nothing but a big handful of paper!!! I'm returning it.

I purchased this book for this years horoscope and found out it does not go beyond 2008. It will cost more to ship it back than what I paid for the book and the long shipping time. Thank goodness I did not give it as a gift!

This work is a fascinating, enjoyable read. I had no prior knowledge of Chinese horoscopes. So when I received it as a wedding gift, I was unsure if I would get much out of it. I loved it! My wife is now reading it.

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Chinese horoscopes.
