Funny you should ask this because I asked Deqian point blank about this a few weeks ago. According to him, one of the monks made extensive hand written copies of many of the important books in the Shaolin library prior to the big fire in 1928. He was fairly old when he passed them to Deqian, and instructed him to organize and publish it all. 67 books later, Deqian has done just that. Now Deqian is working on a Shaolin Wuxia novel, loosely based on legend. But he is done with the research - he has published it all now.
