Thanks for your fascinating, ironic, personal insights into this book's background, Alan!

A rare treat to hear from the editor of a book! Your story is so typical of the publishing process in HK and it was very entertaining and fun to read as well. If I'd ever write a book (only managed an on-going Lamma web log so far), I'd consider you to be my editor...

I've been in digital Web publishing in HK for several years and there would be similar stories to tell, especially as part of it concerned publications promoting Lamma and other "natural wonders" of HK's countryside...

"The History of Asia2000" would be a gripping read. Lots of strange and wonderous characters; many are still in town.

Or how about a calendar: "The Publishers of Lamma".

"Publishers of Lamma"?
Sounds like a real wide-appeal topic to me. :lol:
How many can there be? And how many are still here?

I'm just working on a Lamma desktop calendar for next year right now,
maybe we could make another one about "Publishers of Lamma". :D

But we'd need a better title... something like "Sleaze, backstabbing & infighting on Lamma" maybe? Quite suitable for the fun world of publishing in HK, don't you think? :twisted:

or "Sex, Drugs & Rock'n'Roll on Lamma", paraphrasing my e-zine title for this week...
