Subject: Chinese translation of "Prospect"

Courtesy of Dr. Charles Tandy, I have a hard cover copy of a new edition of 
 The Prospect of Immortality, bilingual with both American English and  

traditional Chinese. Translator is Dr. Sinclair T. Wang; editor is Dr. Charles
Tandy; publisher is Ria University Press, Palo Alto CA.
 
The facing pages, rather remarkably, take about the same space in English  
and Chinese.
 
Will it have any impact on recruitment? Anybody's guess. There are over a  
billion Chinese and their economy is expanding, and they may be free of some 
of  the ideological baggage that affects the Western countries. 
 
There is already also a Russian version, which I haven't seen, and a Korean 
 translation will probably be forthcoming before too long. The old book has 
 legs.
