New Practical Chinese Reader 6

For all you users of the New Practical Chinese Reader series out there...

After over four years, NPCR Vol. 6 is finally available. I haven't seen much buzz around the Chinese internets, so I thought I'd post the relevant links here:

http://www.blcup.com/en/list_1.asp?id=2893

http://product.dangdang.com/product.aspx?product_id=20763146

No Amazon page yet. I poked around. Turns out the series is also available in Thai, French, Russian, Korean, Spanish, German, etc.

Has anyone here finished Vol. 5? I haven't started it yet, but the reviews I've seen have been mixed. Hopefully Vol. 6 (whenever I get to it) won't have the same problems.

Thanks for this. I'm plouging through 4 at the moment, but hoping to move on to 5 by the end of the year and 6 next year.

I've got Vol.4 as well, though I left it in New Zealand...

thinkbuddah, any chance you can scan it to pdf for me? :D

If you do a google search on volume 4, their is a torrent that is #8.

My distributor in the US is not carrying level 6 yet.

Adding another level is going to mess up my really neat table on New Practical Chinese. The trials of running a web store :-)

Reviews would be appreciated on New Practical Chinese. I am going to run a contest that to end of April for reviews on New Practical Chinese done on my web site for NPC.
