Dear casey,
The web site you gave has no hokkien book but I just found out two others.
www.bookchinese.com-a xiamen dictionary printed in 2000 which I don't know it is the same with that 1998 version or not.
www.xinhuabookstore.com-see page 3 of 38 pages that there is a singapore hokkien book printed 2002.Maybe I read in wrongly that it is not a hokkien dictionary.Please confirm.

I think for those who are willing to learn taiwan minnan books are a must.www.let.leidenuniv.nl/kloeter/sel-bib.pdf(open your acrobat reader first)and http://tl.less.tcc.edu.tw/minan/index.html have 2 good lists.Most of them can be ordered from www.books.com.tw (one new dict from yuan liou -ylib.com still not in this web) but I am not sure about 1997 reprint of William Campbell amoy dict which is better than douglas and medhurst(ganesha-publishing.com).I am stiil waiting for their reply.There should be two from www.chineseupress.com but one dict by bernard is out of print.
