zhongwen.com style dictionary

Does anyone know of a zhongwen.com style dictionary available in print? i.e. one that lists the components of each character & explains their meaning?

e.g. 到 = 至+ 刀
至= pictograph of bird swooping down to ground

Also, any plans to make something like this available in a Pleco dictionary? I use the zhongwen.com website all the time to learn new characters. I find it easier to remember characters when I can remember the "story" behind the character.

Hey thanks! I've just ordered a copy from amazon. I didn't realise that that amazon link was also on the front page of zhongwen.com!

I asked about searching by character components like one is able to do in Wenlin back in August. I think this would get Pleco pretty close to what Zhongwen.com does. Mike said that it not going to be in 2.0 but might be part of 2.1. Any update, Mike?
