Shakuhachi 尺八 + Guqin 古琴 book

I love both shakuhachi 尺八 and guqin 古琴. I just received this Shakuhachi + Guqin book (only book of its kind on the planet) in the mail from a webstore at Taobao.com RMB25 purchased via SgShop.com.sg about 20 days ago. I had bought it hoping that it would contain music scores of duets using shakuhachi and guqin (instead of both guqin and shakuhachi playing the same melody simply at octave(s) apart). Well there are no duet scores at all in this book. Instead it is a collection of research papers written in Mandarin about developmental history of using shakuhachi flutes to play guqin tunes. Not bad, reading research papers is always good for staving off insomnia. Hahaha
