Today, I received sample copies of the Chinese Edition of ISBD Consolidated Edition. The original edition was published by De Gruyter Saur in August 2011, and this Chinese edition is published by the National Library of China Publishing House in April 2012.

Starting with July 2011, I completed the translation in December 2011. I am very glad that the book is finally published.
