About this Item

First Edition (NAP). Appears to be signed and inscribed by the photographer and producer Tim Nutt. The inscription simply reads: 'Alice + David, Tim, June 97 '(see photo). You can see the covers in the photos. They look very good. The cover edges and corners are in excellent shape. There is one little crinkle at the top edge of the spine. The spine has a slight forward lean, but the book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any instances of soiling. I'm not finding any creasing. There is no crinkling at the junctures. There are no markings in the book. With the exception of the signed inscription, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. There is an envelope with a photograph of Hong Kong that appears to have been scotch taped to the rear inside cover. It is now loose and in coming off it left a little bit of a scuff on the rear inside cover in the two places where it was attached. There are no other attachments. The envelope states: 'Commemoration of the Establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, People's Republic Of China, 1997. I will include a photograph. The book has a great many color photographs. They are all in excellent condition. Seller Inventory # 005150

About this title

Synopsis:

More than 400 photographs capture both Hong Kong's frenetic city life and the beauty of its unspoilt countryside, the sophistication of its modern urban environment and fading memories of a gentler past. Former television news presenter and interviewer Chris Bale spoke to ten Hong Kong people, gaining contrasting perspectives on Hong Kong, past and present.

Store Description

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.
