| 21 Nov 2020 Update: The pre-launch offer has finished, so normal book pricing now applies. But you can still download the free sample pages from the book, and overseas readers can still order two or more copies delivered to the same address to get free shipping. Click for details. |
Take advantage of these pre-order offers as we get close to the launch of the new Volume 4:
Special price
The book's list price will be HK$168, but regular readers can pre-order copies until 20 November at HK$150.
Please click a "Pre-order ..." link below to pre-order your book(s). Payment can be made online using a Paypal account or a credit card. Readers with a Hong Kong dollar bank account also have the option to pay by bank transfer, or HK$ cheque.
Free shipping
All deliveries to Hong Kong addresses are shipped free of charge.
Overseas orders are very welcome. If you live overseas, you can also get free shipping if you order two or more of Gwulo's books to be delivered to the same address: if you can combine an order with a friend, or buy an extra copy to give as a gift, shipping is free. (Copies of Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 3 also count, so order two or more copies of any combination of Volumes 1, 2, 3, or 4 and you'll get free international shipping.)
Overseas orders for a single book pay the airmail postage. The cost of airmail varies by country, and will be shown to you before you confirm payment for your order.
Signed copies
If you'd like me to sign your copy to be signed, that's easy to arrange. When you've placed your order you'll receive an order confirmation email. Please reply to that with a message as follows:

Q&A
Q. When will the orders be mailed out?
A. The original delivery date was 24 November, but printing has gone very smoothly and yesterday I heard the good news that the books will be delivered this Friday, 13 November. We'll get to work packing and mailing your orders as soon as the books arrive.
Q. So will they arrive in time for Christmas?
A.1 All Hong Kong orders will arrive before Christmas.
A.2 Most Overseas orders will arrive before Christmas. Though airmail was suspended for a while due to COVID-19, it has been restored to most countries, including Australia, UK, and USA. You can check if airmail is available to your country in the latest "Types of services currently available to overseas destinations" document on the Hongkong Post website.
For countries where airmail services are still suspended, e.g. Canada or New Zealand, your order will be sent by surface mail, typically taking 7-10 weeks to arrive.
Q. How can I add the other Volumes to my order?
A. Please click any of the links below to add earlier volumes to your order:
If you need to make any corrections, you can make changes to the content of your shopping cart. If all is correct, please go to the Checkout page to complete your order.
