As of May 2008 a new useful set of books about Shenzhen is available. I have not personally read the books (180Yuan is a bit too expensive for me), but the books do look very useful for anyone who wants to come shopping in Shenzhen or plans to stay here longer. The books are written by 50 expats living in Shenzhen and contain lots of useful information. There was another book about shopping in Shenzhen, but that book is already a couple of years old, so I think this is definately useful.

They have set up a website at http://www.szCityGuide.com. A short animation and the 2 first pages of each chapter can be seen at:

• [Shopping] http://www.szCityGuide.com/Shopping/index.html
  
• [Living] http://www.szCityGuide.com/Living/index.html

 

The book can be bought via their website as well at http://www.szCityGuide.com/buy.html
