To my knowledge, the Yih Mei Publishing Company only published 16 numbered volumes in that series. While there were certainly many other books authored by WHF such as the weapon sets, they were not numbered as the well known 16 set was. The other books such as Ji Ng Geem, Fu Mei Sahm Jeet Gwun, Luk Hup Seung Doe, Yeen Tsing Dahn Doe are much harder to come by since they were not republished as often as the 16 volume set. I have found a few in various book stores in NYC Chinatown although I have not seen anymore in the last few years. I have not found any in HK anymore but I did manage to find some in Taipei a few years ago.

Where did you get the numbers 17-26?

Hi, Young Mantis thanks for the info. I havent been able to find any other Wong Han Fun books other than the series 1-16, Mantis Essays, and his Shaolin Sword form. But now I know why thanks. Hows training?
