You can read all about it on that qin website created by those spanish qin fans. Which is actually a very good site BTW but not being at home right now I cant tell u the link. I think Stephen Walkers site has a link.
When u think that this new Qin book looks so packed with so much knowledge and interest (took years to research) and its only available to the few who read sweedish, its really a travesty of justice!!

Prehaps you could write a strongly worded letter to the author demanding that it be translated into English!
I always thought that qin books should either be written in Chinese and/or English for them to be accessible to most of the qin players in the world (who would like/benefit from reading such things). We don't just want to be looking at the pretty pictures you know!

Yes I want to do that. Maybe more pleading than strong worded.

Just as long as your prepared for a reply on the lines of: "(1) There's already plenty in English; (2) who are you to ask us to write in a foreign language? and/or (3) if you want a translation you can have one as long as you pay for it and we approve it".

Alternatively, free up a week and 'read' it (albeit, slowly and frustratingly) using Babelfish (if there is a Swedish option)...

your probably right - but lucky for those scandanavians - they can already read/speak very good english.
