I spoke with Dr. H.V. DINH, a friend, who wrote a Thesis on Feng Shui as practiced in the Imperial Palace, Hue.

She advised me that books on Feng Shui (堪舆) in the Vietnamese language are minimal and she used, primarily, Chinese resources for her work.

Dr. Sinh's thesis was in English.

I thought I saw some Feng Shui books in Fahasa.

Feng Shui is not a science, more like a practice art, so there is no absolute wrong or right, though there are some common guidelines, and there are different schools of practice using different tools, so you may be more confused than enlightened after reading a couple of books.

Besides, feng shui teachers are not known for their lucidity nor their willingness to share "secrets".

Truth to be told, books in English are also few and their quality is always questionable. There is a certain prolific writer, whose name is Lilian Too who manages to write like 80 books, nearly all recycling the same trite nonsense.
