Reviews
"Praise for CHINA SMART 5/5 ""An invaluable resource for travelers to China as well as those who want to learn more about the country in a succinct format without having the need to page through dry and dense history tomes."" —The Manhattan Book Review Praise for his previous work CHINA SURVIVAL GUIDE “An ideal, pocket-sized, 264 page compendium packed from cover to cover with practical advice, insightful commentary, and invaluable tips on places to go, things to see, what to do, and what to avoid. . . . China Survival Guide should be considered an essential 'take-along' for anyone visiting China for business or pleasure.” —Midwest Book Review, May 2014 ""Like [having] a professional guide walking alongside you answering your many questions. . . . A must for your next China visit!"" —Travel Answer Man Online ""Thank goodness for Larry and Qin Herzberg! Their book was invaluable in helping me anticipate some of the more foreign aspects of traveling in China, not to mention that the book is hilarious! Travel groups will benefit from their expertise on surviving in China with grace and humor."" —Susan Glassburn Larimer, China Travel Coordinator, Indiana University School of Social Work Praise for his previous work BASIC PATTERNS OF CHINESE GRAMMAR Typically enthusiastic ONLINE reviewer says: ""I am stunned, stuffed and totally amazed that ""Basic Patterns of Chinese Grammar...."" wasn't one of the compulsory first year texts for a Mandarin speak-read-write course ! It is critical for any student aspiring to speak Mandarin / Hanyu to buy this book as soon as possible ( I can't emphasize this entreaty strongly enough - BUY THIS BOOK ). Others have given the technical reasons for buying it so as a struggling, long-suffering, ongoing student I'll restrict myself to endorsing it."" Praise for his previous work CHINESE PROVERBS AND POPULAR SAYINGS ""Chinese Proverbs and Popular Sayings is for everyday readers looking for pithy sayings, deeper understanding of the Chinese culture and a unique look at the Chinese language."" —The Rapidian"
