Greetings,
For those interested, someone is selling a 16 volume set of the WHF books (in Chinese), on EBAY:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=47348&item=3691838535&rd=1

I always get emails asking about these books and ebay has them once and awhile.

Sifu Carl,

It is indeed good to hear from you! For those who do not know, Sifu Carl was recently inducted into Aaron Banks' martial arts hall of fame. It is no small matter as he is listed among such artists as Jerry Cooney who was inducted at the same time. He has given a lifetime to the arts and is being recognized as such.

As for the books, they are the real deal and well worth the price. If you are a WHF practitioner, they are increasingly rare. My book to be out in November will teach you to read the first third of these so even if you don't read Chinese now, they are an investment in the future.

Thank you Sifu Carl for making us aware of this.

Sincerely,

Steve Cottrell

TLC#1-6 are WHF Books
4direction
bungbo
chopchoi
first route essence
plum flower fist
plum flower falls

TLC#11-13 are WHF Books
white ape
arhat skill
plum flower hand

It is a great thing that these are being preserved for future generations. With such a wealth of information in our hands, it is, to me, increasingly clear that for WHF practitioners, a knowledge of Chinese is essential to fully appreciate our heritage.

Anyway, hope it helps,

Steve Cottrell
