The description of this book doesn't do it justice. I find that its explanations shed light on many hard to remember Chinese words, and gives the reader very helpful ways to recall a whole variety of Chinese phrases, which might otherwise be quite difficult to recall. I also think the book is beautifully designed. Vivian Sung and Chronicle Books did a great job! Pinyin and traditional characters.
