               A New Sycee Book is Coming up...新書即將發表...

   歷經四年之研究, 網主將於七月份出版第三本銀錠書籍, 書名為"清代南方諸省方鏪考"

    After a 4 year research, Stephen is going to publish his 3rd book on sycee in July, 2003. The title of the book is "A Study on Square Troughs of the Southern Provinces During the Ching Dynasty".

本書將是第一本以兩廣, 湖南, 福建, 江西, 安徽等南方各省於清代所鑄行的方鏪(砝碼錠)為探討主題的專著. 共一百七十頁, 附圖(黑白)一百四十禎, 使用與分類之實物資料約三百餘件. 以中文寫成. 其目次臚列於下.

    This book will be the first scholarly work researching various Square Troughs cast and circulated in the Southern Provinces of China throughout the Ching Dynasty, 170 pages including 140 pictures and about 300 specimens of Kuangsi, Kuangtung, Hunan, Fujien, Jiangsi and Anhuei listed and categorized. It is written in the Chinese language (Apology to those non-Chinese readers). The contents of the book are as in below .

有鑑於銀錠愛好者人數尚為有限, 為避免庫存與過高的出版成本, 本書將以桌上排版影印之方式出版, 數量不超過200本. 每本售價為台幣八百元(郵費另計).

   To satisfy the need of the sycee community whose size is rather limited, on one hand, and to save cost and inventories, on the other hand, no more than 200 copies of the book will be published by way of desktop publishing and photocopying. The unit price of the book is US$25 (Postage excluded).
