Talk:Writing and Literacy in Chinese, Korean and Japanese

On using this book as a source
It seems some of the reviewers dispute arguments the book made. Ainsworth-Darnell criticized some in her review. It may be good to check the reviews and see if other works make the same arguments. Erbaugh also pointed to some minor errors.

Note however the issues may have been fixed in the 2014 revised version

Miller's book review is especially critical (and some quotes were used in https://lib-ebook.colorado.edu/sca/archives/interpreter235.pdf as an example of his wit)

Victor Mair was also very critical, alleging (p. 267) that the book has multiple factual errors. Janet S. (Shibamoto) Smith also criticized some of the factual issues.

There are reviewers who liked the book, like Toshio Ohori. It may be good to analyze the versions, compare them with the reviews, and determine which criticisms would still be valid.
