I cannot seem to Order Chinese books in the USA

[samsloan]

I have been trying to purchase some Chinese language books. I cannot
seem to order them even though they are listed on the Chinese language
version of Amazon at http://www.amazon.cn

Some of the books I want to order have the ISBN Numbers of
9787117116077
9787117115599
ISBN: 9787117116794
ISBN 9787309065275 / 7309065271

Put those number into Google and you will see many places advertising
those books.

Yet, when I try to order it they ask what province of China I am in
and they ask for my account number with the Bank of China. They will
not take my credit card number.

Here is a link (in Chinese).

http://www.amazon.cn/%E7%BE%8E%E5%9B%BD%E6%B3%A8%E5%86%8C%E6%8A%A4%E5%A3%AB%E8%B5%84%E6%A0%BC%E8%80%83%E8%AF%95%E5%A4%8D%E4%B9%A0%E6%8C%87%E5%AF%BC%E2%80%A2%E6%88%90%E4%BA%BA%E5%86%85%E5%A4%96%E7%A7%91%E6%8A%A4%E7%90%86-Billings/dp/B00358TH12/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b

Funny thing is, the publisher is an American company.

Can anybody please tell me how to buy these books?

http://www.amazon.cn is in China.
Try contacting www.amazon.com or the publisher, or I can get my gf's
brother in China to get one. The last method may take some time and
expenses.

I have found out the surprising answer to this question.

Lippincott is not actually the publisher of any Chinese language
editions. They sell the rights to the Chinese language Publishers and
they become the Publisher of the Chinese language edition and they
sell the book.

The People's Medical Publishing House (Mainland China) is the
publisher of the Bi-Lingual Simplified Chinese/English edition of
Billings: Lippincott's Review for NCLEX-RN, 8/e.

Ho-Chi Book Publishing (Taiwan) is the publisher of the Complex
Chinese edition of Billings: Lippincott's Content Review for NCLEX-RN,
1/e.

I have written both places and I am waiting for a reply.

It is certainly an interesting situation that there are two different
translations from English into Chinese, one into traditional Chinese
and the other into simplified Chinese.

My girlfriend says that she will be able to read either one equally
well, although she slightly prefers simplified Chinese since she is
from Mainland China.

Go to Sweden or Denmark. The welfare systems are better in these
countries.

women who want to emigrate to U.S.of A.

And the Aland Islands (Ahvenanmaa in Finnish). They have their own
flag, right?
The "h" is pronounced. It does not lengthen the vowel as in German.

Have you tried Cheng & Tsui in Boston? Or Schoenhof's in Cambridge?
You have connections in Berkeley, don't you? Perhaps there is a
comparable store in San Francisco.
