The complete Chinese Character Dictionary (CCD) comes in two editions:

- an e-book (Print Replica) edition, which is basically a copy of the paperback edition. The latest update was uploaded in April, 2020.
The Simplified Chinese Character Dictionary also comes in two editions:
- a paperback edition (5.5″ x 8.5″ edition; 529 pages): contains 5,730 simplified character entries. If a simplified character has a traditional version, then that is only placed behind the simplified character, but cannot be searched for. The latest update of this edition was uploaded in October, 2019.
- an e-book (Print Replica) edition, which is basically a copy of the paperback edition. The latest update was uploaded in October, 2019.
All editions can be ordered from Amazon
Note: New editions are in preparation. However, due to the large number of changes it will take a considerable time before they are completed. Most important changes:
- About 70-80% of the HSK-6 vocabulary list will be integrated;
- All example words and phrases will get a pinyin transliteration.
Expected release date will hopefully be sometime during the second half of 2021.
