The listing, Chinese Characters; The Art and Meaning of Hanzi (hardbound in traditional chinese bookbinding) has ended.
A cute little book by Metro Books that shows you 86 hanzi and their meanings. Has an excellent, brief introduction explaining the history of the hanzi including origins, structure, simplification in mainland China, pinyin, and tones. A great book if you're contemplating learning Chinese, want to learn or explore a few characters, or if you just plain want to get that darn hanzi tattoo you've always wanted but just can't figure out which one to get. As regards the last example, please make sure the character is right side up before tattooing. You don't want to end up on one of those tattoo disaster websites or shows... unless you want to.
