Dear SL,
One of the best illustrative books (with lots of pictures and well written book is by Derek Walters.
Although his work is not like those by recent authors, one can flavour lots of `five element concepts' from this book if one reads careful.
The ENGLISH book I mentioned is:
Title: FENG SHUI
Description: Perfect Placing for your happiness and prosperity by Derek Walters.
Publisher: ASIAPAC Books
ISBN 9971-985-21-7
In this book he has devised an English version of the Luopan where one use it to do FS audit.
I highly recommend the other Book " Feng Shui Handbook " which has the essence of Five Elements.
Unlike other authores he does not suggest out of the whim suggest cures but rather he gives a good grounding of the Five elements concept.
By now, I think his book is harder to obtain in local bookstores. One can either purhcase it thru ASiapac Books or search Amazon.com or other online book stores or ask them to get a copy for you.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
P.S. If you want Chinese (Mandarin) books on Chinese Luopan i.e. there are TONS of them out there especially Hong Kong versions.
