I thought finding a book easy to access and affordable for beginners, he missed! No other way than to look for explanations elsewhere, why? methodology (if you can call it that) is too rough! While there is the practice but explained the reasoning has neither head nor tail !! Although the interpretation and practice must give way to "intuition" and must stand out from all rigidity, disorder of the consultation reasoning makes this book difficult to use if you have no concept of the I Ching. However translations and explanations of trigrams and hexagrams are faithful! Now that I have the basics of the practice I served as principal work for texts.
