Hi Jaron,

That's a good question.  I'm getting close to finishing Book 1 and would like to know the answer as well.

I saw in a forum that Heisig had promised the book would be available in Nov.  Obviously, that didn't happen. 

If you go over to Nanzan Institute, you can write Mr. Heisig an email and ask. Some of the people in the forum have and he responded.

Good luck with your studies.

If you know German, than you'll find here 1940 characters explained:

If you only speak English, try these links and/or make your own stories:

If you think about your own (bizarre) story, the characters will stick to you mind even better...

Hi Jaron,

I got an email from Mr. Heisig this morning saying that the book was 80% complete and he was hoping to have it finished this summer.

I'm also eagerly awaiting, however last I heard from the publisher, it might not be ready until the end of the year or early next year. =( I wish I could at least get ahold of the list of characters and start making the stories myself.

Hi cdavaz,

Yes, I'm sure it is frustrating. Luckily for me, I haven't gotten through all of Book 1 yet. Good luck with your studies. Maybe the book will be out sooner than we think.
