Have you guys watch Kung Fu Hustle by Steven Chow? Remember the scene where an old man asked a kid to buy the Kung Fu book? Let me recap with some snapshots from the end of the movie:
The old man says to the kid, "Kid, you have the bone structure a kung-fu genius. World peace is in your hands. Here's the scroll of the Buddhist Palm."
The kid was not interested in that book so he showed some other books to the kid.
When i was at Singapore Chinatown, an old man spoke the same thing to me. So i trusted him, and i bought 5 Kung Fu Books. Left to right (hope i translated it correctly haha..)
"Lance Slight"
"Lonely Nine Swords"
"Turning bones into cotton fists?"
"Tathagata Buddha's Plam" *This is the book with exactly the same title as that from the Kung Fu Hustle movie.
"42 Page Scripts"
When i reached home and try to learn the first chapter, i noticed that the book was just blank pages?!
Please don't believe what i said just now, haha.. actually it is a note book with just the cover made to look like an old style kung fu book. I bought it as souvenir gifts for my colleagues. Edited by Sylvia.

Hi HevnBoyz, i bought it at Chinatown Singapore. Don't really have a shop name, it's like a booth shop, they just hang on the front of the entrance. They have different kind of title, which i only choose those i recognize =D For your info, do check other shop price also, they might selling cheaper.
Maybe you can check with Eric, that day i spoke to him about this book, he might bring some. But i'm not so sure.
