- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

The first time ever. this amazing military treatise is now available in English. French and German, and together With the original text in classical and modern Chinese.
Like its predecessor, Sun Zi: The Art of War by Sun Wu, Sun Bin's book is also an outstanding piece of ancient Chinese Military writing. However, it was lost for more than a millennium, which gave rise to a long-standing controversy as to whether Sun Wu .and Sun Bin were one and the same person. In April 1972, a large number of bamboo strips were unearthed in an archeological find from a Western Han (206 BC - Ad 25) tomb at Yinqueshan (Silver Sparrow Mountain) in Linyi County, Shandong Province in China. Among the strips were Sun Zi: The Art of War and Sun Bin: The Art of War. The simultaneous discovery of the two works from the same tomb provided conclusive evidence that both Suns existed in history, and that each had written a significant corpus on military affairs. A milleniumlong dispute was thus settled. A descendant of Sun Wu, Sun Bin summed up the military experiences prior to and during the midWarring States Period (475 BC-221 BC) on the basis of inheriting and developing Sun Wu's military thinking. He has thus provided important new material for study by Sun Zi specialists and scholars the world over.
