It is called the Sanguo Chih (some spell it Sanguo Zhi). 三國志 in Chinese. I've searched online with no luck. I live in the U.S.

Does a translation of this even exist?

The english title of "Sanguo Chih" is "Records of Three Kingdoms" or just "The Three Kingdoms." This is a different book than "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Luó Guànzhōng. The latter book is a historical, yet fictional novel. "Sanguo Chih" is a non-fictional account of early chinese history.

I do not think there is an English translation.

I have looked at the Library of Congress online catalog and could not find an English translation there. They do list the following Chinese item:

LC Control Number: 84158955
Type of Material: Book (Print, Microform, Electronic, etc.)
Brief Description: Chen, Shou, 233-297.
San’guo zhi / [Pei Songzhi zhu].
Fang Ji gu ge ben.
Shanghai : Dian shi zhai shi yin, Guangxu gui mao [1903]
4 v. ; 21 cm.

Answers.com has a long Wikipedia article about the original Three Kingdoms, but I note that their source text is also Chinese.

Is this the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? I've seen it in English on amazon.com.
