Book news

  • Gwulo's books are now available at the Art & Culture Outreach bookstore, on the 14th floor of Foo Tak Building, 365-367 Hennessy Road (see map). That's opposite the junction with Tin Lok Lane, between Wanchai and Causeway Bay.
    It's a crowded part of town, but when you get up to the bookstore's floor it's surprisingly open and airy. If you visit now, check out the stairwell from the 14/F down, where they have an exhibition of some of the many different nationalities included in the Dear Hong Kong book.
     
  • Back at Gwulo HQ, our flat smells of printers' ink again! We'd got down to the last box of Volume 3, so we ordered a reprint and it was delivered this week. Thanks to Suk Woon for keeping a careful eye on the printer, to make sure these second 1,000 copies look just as good as the first.
Volume 3, 1st reprint
