HAVE YOU PURCHASED THIS, YET?
Our own "HonoluLou," Lou Armagno, has recently published a fantastic, thoroughly researched, well-produced new book focusing on the aphorisms of Charlie Chan as found in the original Chan mysteries by Earl Derr Biggers! A MUST for any serious Charlie Chan fan! To learn more about this book, please visit our BULLETIN BOARD section: https://charliechan.org/bulletin-board/
Thank you so much, Lou, for creating the most unique of Charlie Chan studies!

SO… take care, and let’s meet again within the humble yet welcoming confines of our Charlie Chan Family Chat Room, located at charliechan.org, as we share “The New Adventures of Charlie Chan.”
