the Chinaffmpeg link is added by me
that because it’s only Chinese Font version,
and there have lots link about that book in China, eg, jd.com, taobao.com, dangdang.com
maybe of this link is not static link.
and the price of the book some times will be changed in different time.
and i’m writing second edition, so only one link is ok here.
