I just got an excited email from Paul. He has been doing publicity for Hong Kong International Antiquarian Bookfair all week. Below are some of the images and text that Paul sent me.
The first bunch of pics are taken at Yves Azamar's Indosiam Rare Books shop. Its less than half the size of our front room and we had about 15 people in there.
The photos are the film crew for La Dolce Vita show being made on rare books and the bookfair.
Thats Yves with Anitta who is my minder this time round.
There are more Star Ferry and Harbour shots.
The next lot of pics are at Picture This Gallery where I was interviewed by the journalist from Hong Kong popular music magazine who were fascinated by the original programme from Woodstock. This comes from Lucius Books and is signed by Jimmi Hendrix.
The other interview at Picture this was by China Daily and the journalist loved The Punishments of China book as well as the original gouache paintings done in Canton in the 1830s..
Then the fruit market in Kowloon with pics of fruits or vegetables some of which I did not know what they were and no one spoke English to tell me.
There is a Taylor working from a very tiny space - smaller than under our staircase and the sewing machine looked older than me so it was definitely ancient.
The animal head and feet were laid out like they were a delicacy. Wei Jing might be able to tell you what the animal is called. My Cantonese was not good enough to get an answer
Then there are the street meat and fish markets.
I met Cynthia today and tomorrow am lunching with Chris Li and Cynthia before an interview with I think the China Economic Daily or some such paper
