List price on this item is a few cents shy of $40. If I'd had to pay that much I think I'd have asked for my money back. (Think about it -- the book has a list price of $15.95, which means they're charging $25 for the yarrow stalks. I've seen bundles of 50 stalks sold elsewhere for about $9.) Luckily shows a good discount ($26.37 as of this writing) meaning this is just worth the price.I've been going over Wu's interpretations of the I Ching for a couple months now. I have to say he's a little on the fruity side for me -- I don't like it when people get too spiritual about fortune telling methods because you never know what the religious or ethical code of the person trying to use it might be. While the I Ching theoretically is a religous book, the evidence as I understand it indicates that that came later; basically it became a religious work because it worked well as a fortune telling mechanism (rather than something meant as a meditative religous work that only later came to be employed for practical fortune telling.) I also incline to complain that his effort to describe the yarrow stalk method is very confusing; I still can't figure out how it's done (the text tries to include pictures but they aren't detailed enough to figure what he means.)On the plus side, he does provide better summaries and interpretations of the hexagrams than a lot of versions, being a bit more clear on what's represented by some of the imagery and explaining what the advice of the hexagram is meant to suggest. The I Ching is a funny book, and by its nature of being not-in-English, the more translations one can collect the better one usually is for it.
