Sobre mim hank you for visiting my Profile. As you are already here, I will tell you something about me: I'm born and bred German but I currently work in China as Marketing Consultant for a Chinese incoming tourism operator. The job is quite challenging as there is not only the cultural difference to my colleagues but also the quickly changing field of online business.
I'm supported by my beautiful and intelligent wife, WeiWei, who not only manages to live with a "laowai" under one roof but also actively tries to teach me some Chinese. As we both share the same love for books, this account contains parts of both our collections.

Sobre a minha biblioteca ur collection can be divided into several areas. First of all there are of course my wife's design/ architecture/ art books she still kept from her time in University. Together with some classic Chinese writings like "The Art of War" or "The four books" from her highschool time and some newly aquired novels they make the biggest part of our Chinese books. Recently we started buying Chinese books about Chinese Culture (Festivals, Traditions, etc...)
Books that I contributed consist of some marketing & tourism management books which I still have from university or which I need for work. Since I discovered some cheap, cheap online booksshops more and more Science Fiction books pop up in our library.
After I arrived in China I started looking for books helping me understanding the culture of my host country better. I especially looked for old books, because they sometimes have a clearer view on China than newer books. Unluckily there seems to be an increased demand for books about China printed before 1900 so getting these is an increasingly expensive task.
big part of my German books, especially books from the end of the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century that I bought at library sales and second hand markets in my youth are still in Germany. I plan to bring them over to China the next time I go home... that means I will pack some big boxes and send them, hoping that nothing gets destroyed (darn 20kg limit on flights).
My wife and I are both suckers for old books.

Thank you! That gives me a great visual. Have you read The Name of the Rose, by Umberto Eco? It's a lot to do with monks making books on vellum, as well as a mystery. I'm not finding it grabbing, but more relaxing.

Hi, just read your comment in the Green Dragon, but when I tried to respond there, it was very strange and I didn't want to interfere with the photos of your book. Thank you for those, lovely book.

I have a question. I just finished reading The Heretic's Apprentice by Ellis Peters. It is a mystery set in the 1100s and one of the characters in it makes vellum. Now I am burning with curiosity of what vellum looks like and feels like. Do you have any books made of it? Not easy to find pictures of it, on google anyway. Don't know if I'll ever get the chance to feel it myself, but if you have felt it, would you describe it for me? Of course if you are too busy, I understand. :)

Hi Julian, hearing about the earthquake I couldn't help but think of you and your wife and hope you're both okay. I see you've posted on other groups so I'm thinking you are, but I wanted you to know that we've been thinking about you in the Green Dragon.

You haven't mentioned anything about your book. Were you dreadfully disappointed? Did it not turn out as you had hoped? I didn't see the finished product but Father Brandt had seemed so pleased, I had really hoped it had worked out well.

all the best,

Katherine

Hi Julian,

I just got back from Father Brandt's. Your book is looking good, should be done pretty soon and then zipping it's way back to you pdq! :-) I had a wonderful visit, so good I think I'm going to tell all about it in a thread at the GD. I'm just grinning from ear to ear from the whole experience. Very neat book by the way. I was surprised it was in English - I thought it would be in Latin for some odd reason.

all the best,

Katherine

Hi Julian, regarding your book repair from our chat this morning, I found a link to the monk I was telling you about http://www.cbbag.ca/OL_Gallery/BC_Albert...

Father Brandt sounds like an amazing man, and as I mentioned, I've heard very good things about him from our local booksellers and librarians. I think the easiest thing might be for you to email him directly and send the pictures. If you'd rather I phoned I'm more than happy to do that, but we'd have to email anyways to send the pictures - what do you think? He's just about 1/2 an hour away from me. Whatever is easiest, I'm happy to help.

Hello Julian

Many thanks for the details of the gramophone-needle man. I'll be sure and look him up soon.

All best
Hugh

I haven't found that Banned Books poster yet, but I'm still looking... small world, eh? I used to live in Germany (Kaiserslautern) and my Uncle works in China (but I won't ask if you know him)...

Wow - that is a gorgeous book that you posted to the Green Dragon group! So jealous!

Thank you so much for your SantaThing choices for me! They are absolutely perfect; I think I will dive into the Boilerplate Rhino first. Froehliche Weinachten und ein gutes Neu Jahr, mit Buche, Buche, und mehr Buche! Viele danke noch ein Mal.

On THE PARASITE by Arthur Conan Doyle: I read it about a year ago and, to be honest, thought it a rather slight book, with some interesting passages of pyschological suspense but lacking the energy and substance of some of Doyle's other quasi-supernatural books, such as THE MARACOT DEEP or THE MYSTERY OF CLOOMBER, or even the adventure books like the Challenger novels or the Sherlock Holmes novels. Still, I'll read anything by Doyle and am glad to have THE PARASITE in my collection. Have you read it?

Thank you for the pointer to tushucheng.com! What a great resource!

I've been using data entry in LT as a way to practice Chinese, looking up words because I frequently know what a word means but not how it's pronounced and trying to type it in. My typing is self taught, way too slow, and I clearly don't know a huge pile of fundamentals. Without the project of entering data into LT, I'm sure I'd never find time to practice!

Hi! I just saw in the Green Dragon that we share a birthday! Just wanted to stop and say Happy Birthday (ok, two weeks late, but it's still cool!)

Dear Julian and ?,
Thank you for your comment.
I hope my catalog will be useful to you both. I only ask you to have much patience. Because of the huge quantities of books to be catalogued (more dan 10,000 still to go while most of them can only be entered manually), because of the way I do my cataloguing (i.e. with many tags &c. so as to have many ways to find a book) and because I have several "lives" besides my LT life (family, work,...), it will take quite some time to really finish the job, maybe even several years. I have decided to do the work in two "rounds": first the essential information forming the structure of the catalog (authors, titles, tags, and only when possible dates, editors, etc.), and only when this will be done the rest - the second "round" : covers, editions, dates &c.. After finishing the catalog I hope to be able to write reviews. This also because I am growing conscious my library is also a mirror of my life, a kind of (intellectual)autobiography - and writing reviews could be a way to concretize this consciousness. But my first work now is finishing the catalog.
For the time being - as most of the books still wait to be included - my catalog will not be as informative as it will be in diture. If in the meantime you have some questions, please don't hesitate.
Kind regards und herzliche Grüsse,
Jan Willem Noldus

Here's a pint of my local Beartown brewery's best Bearskinfull bitter, what's all the fuss about Morphidae's book?

how long have you been in China? Which part? Are you going to get see any of the Olymic Games next year?

My brother spent three years teaching out there before bringing his chinese wife back over here. I think she's had the bigger culture shock! I only spent a couple of weeks there when the fmaily all went over for the wedding. A lovely country, I hadn't appreciated just how massively huge it is.

Hi,

So you are another book lover separated from a cherished book collection back home, right? The first year I came to China I sent myself about 40 kg of books in 7 boxes simply through the mail. Everything arrived (there were some really expensive books in there), except for a cheap (Aufbau Verlag (ost)) 1980s paperback of a book by Friedrich Engels in German. It looks as if they didn't want me to have that.

As far as I can see the Bundespost working with DHL offers an affordable and quite safe service. Eventually, I will send more through the Dutch Post, but am already very worried about early 19th C editions and 19th & 20th C first editions.

I just want to draw your attention to this event:

http://www.hongkongantiquarianbookfair.c...

It's going to be the first international antiquarian book fair in Hong Kong. I have a strong mind to go there. There will be quite a number of Dutch and German book sellers.

Guilin is a beautiful place! My bf is from Guangxi.

Thanks for the Lulu visit, I didn't write anything too controversial in my book, so it should get past China's borders...

J, thank you! I'm definitely going to have to buy both bookshelves and other furniture. Which I can only hope (spray bottle in hand ;) that Asimov won't destroy.

Hi, thanks for your reply and sorry for my slow one. Sure, I'm happy to chat. It's always interesting to meet other people in the same industry & also other expats in China who read books. Do you use msn or yahoo? My handle on both is the same - baixiwei@yahoo.com.
