The most useful book on the Abacus, Oct 16 2008
By Roger Landbeck - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Use a Chinese Abacus: A Step-By-Step Guide to Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Roots and More (Paperback)
This is just the book I was looking for to help me understand and use the Abacus. I had tried others and they just did not go into the detail needed. It is fantastic. Lots of examples all beautifully illustrated with diagrams. It even covers the difficult topics like square and cube roots. I'm sure others will find it helpful too.

Great Book, July 28 2008
By M. Hawkins - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Use a Chinese Abacus: A Step-By-Step Guide to Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Roots and More (Paperback)
I bought this book wanting to learn how to use an abacus and have had no previous experience- I'm pretty sure I hadn't even held one before. This book is very easy to read and the directions are very clear. I strongly suggest it!
