Very good. I haven't gotten through as much as I wanted to by this point but that's my fault for being lazy. What I've done so far has been relatively quick and painless.

I used remembering the kanji to learn kanji in learning japanese. I have a friend who wants to learn chinese, and is buying the remembering the hanzi.

Does anyone know of any lists of all the hanzi? I used anki to learn/review all the kanji I learned. Anki has a sample deck with all of Heisig's kanji. I would like to assist him in doing the same for the hanzi, but without a list, looking each one up without even know the pronunciation is proving to be a tad difficult.

I got my copy through Amazon in two days and am going NUTS over this book. It almost wants me want to take a semester off to learn all the Chinese writing and then go back and speed ahead of all my classmates trying to juggle compounds, reading, and writing at the same time. I bet with a couple of weeks of hard work I could write more than my non-Chinese teachers!

it sounds strange to use books for learning how to write hanzi. does anyone know what 偏旁部首 is? to know what each of these radicals mean is pretty enough to write hanzi, I believe

The book does really need a method for organizing the radicals in a structured way. Because the authors are so ga ga over memory methods, they should have added a peg system for memorizing the order of the radicals in a dictionary. But if all the radicals are covered in the first volume, then all the learner has to do is peg each radical up to 211(traditional char.) Perhaps, then, it would be unnecessary for the authors to write up another 100 or so pages for the order of radicals.   

I've yet to find out if the 211 radicals for the traditional set are covered in volume 1 - I'm pretty sure that they are.

By the way, does anyone have trouble remembering what the English words are? Often I have to use memory methods not so much for the writing of the character, but rather for the retrieval of the English key word.

I don't know about Hanzi, but for Remembering the Kanji I think that KANJIDIC (part of Jim Breen's EDICT project) contained references to the book, so you could extract that information, minus the 'stories' of course.

EDIT: Seems like I was a bit late in replying here...
