Recommended Books on Feng Shui

[tamngo]

Hi there,
I've just figure out Feng Shui lately.
Right now I don't have any book or documents about Feng Shui. Can you suggest me any good book for beginner? I'd like to know more about it in order to improve my life.
Is there any document I can read online?
Thank for any help.
Tam,

Hello Tam
I have found " Pillars of Destiny "by Raymond Lo very good.He is a very good FS master from HK.
If you go to this Geomancy website done by Robert and Cecil and read and print out all docs I believe you'll find it very useful.

Dear Tam,
You can access the online reading material which teaches you all about
Feng Shui in an easy an organise manner.
At the website www.geomancy.net, you will noticed that the site is divided
into three columns, Learn, Apply and Discuss.
For learning materials, you can access under the Learn column, Online
Resources or Online Articles. These will list you all the available topics,
simply select which topics you are interested in learning.
For application tools, you can access under the Apply column, where we
have created a Report Management, which consist of several online Feng Shui
Audit Tools to assist users. The tools are computerized version of the
theories which calculates and provides a report for you to apply to your
home etc.
For Discuss, you can access under the Discuss column, which is the current
Forum which you have sign-on, where users can interact with each other,
share their experiences, learn from practical real life examples about Feng
Shui.
For Books, you may like to refer to the right side frame, which has a link
under the BOOKS to most of the books are reviewed. You may use this as a
guide to purchasing a book for reading and learning.
Warmest Regards
Robert Lee

Dear Tam,
One good source is the geomancy.net's pages full of feng shui information: Under this URL : " First time here? "
http://www.geomancy.net/fs/map.htm
There are many good books on Feng Shui for the beginner:-
Author: Lillian Too
1. Complete illustrated guide by Lillian Too
2. Basic Feng Shui
Both books have `rich' information on Feng Shui for the beginner. (However, these books are not meant for those who wants to know more about the history of feng shui but rather the practical side of it i.e. Applied Feng Shui. These two books are more on the Shapes and Form School with a dab of the 4 good and 4 bad directions.
If you want to apply Feng Shui immediately, you should get her books.
Author: Eveyln Lip
1. Geomancy a Layman's Guide
Her books are all `academic' books i.e. a with a rich history of Feng Shui and some basic information of applied Feng Shui. Her books are more for those doing research into the history of Feng Shui. Doctor Evelyn Lip is a trained architect.
3. Derek Walters
Derek Walters books were written quite sometime back. But his one book titled " Feng Shui" is richly illustrated graphically and makes interesting reading for those who wants to know in general all about Feng Shui. In this book, he also gave a template of a English version of the Chinese Luopan or compass. Although this book cannot meet the new recently published books by authors like Lillian Too, it is a truly beautiful illustrated book... with a balanced look at both the history, understanding of what a dragon hill, and more...
2. His book " The Feng Shui Handbook " gives very good `solid' grounding in the Five Elements concepts and the application of it.
3. If you want instead to apply `9 Star Ki' you can obtain books like `9 Star Ki' by Jon Sandiers which will teach you how to apply the mathematical `side' of Feng Shui to your overall living. By the way `9 Star -Ki' is also Feng Shui but practised widely especially in Japan. (It does not include the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui)
There are many more new books out each day by different authors. If your local book store has books of Feng Shui, I suggest you do some browsing and you may most likely find some other books not listed here but are equally good or interesting.
I have written a summary of a few Feng Shui authors and their works under this URL:-
http://www.geomancy.net/books/books.htm
If these books are not found in your local book store, you can easily go to any of the good internet book websites e.g. Amazon.com or Barnesandnoble.com and do a search for these authors. You will find more books by them.
Good Luck!

On the topic of Feng Shui Books,
I have another link with the graphic on the book covers of some of the books I mentioned earlier to the reply on basic Feng Shui books. Click here to view the book covers:-
http://www.geomancy.net/fs/books.htm
For those who are interested in finding out if Feng Shui is for real or hocus pocus, you may like to read this book:-
Amazing Scientific Basis of Feng Shui by Dr. Ong Hean Tatt Phd. This book although does not have richly illustrated graphics on Feng Shui but has many research work on topics that really show that Feng Shui is for REAL!
The book cover can also be seen under the above link (bottom right hand side of the page).
Warning: This book is not a practical guide on how to apply Feng Shui to real life situation but more of a research work into many topics e.g. Feng Shui and water dowzing, sun spots, ancient stonehenge, other cross cultural similarities etc.. and MORE!
