Front endpaper map, 211pp, cellotape stain copyright leaf and contents page, otherwise a very good copy indeed in dustjacket. John Stericker's "pre-war assignment to China on the management of large British-owned cigarette factories forms the basis of this book. He looks back with nostalgia on the China that expatriates loved so well, and from the time he stepped on to the Trans-Siberian Express to the moment he entered a Japanese internment camp in Hongkong he travelled with a suitcase and a chuckle. He admits that things were not always amusing, but even internment had its funny side as the second half of this book discloses, although tragedy, too, is not spared us.".

Hardbound. Condición: Good+. First Edition. A loving look at the territory and its people, a few years after the end of WWII. Skillful, frequently dramatic black and white images of a Hong Kong now long passed are accompanied by often lengthy text - far more than captions - describing each image, its setting and notes about the people portrayed within. One can see the outlines of a beautiful late Victorian city that one was, now mostly replaced with concrete and glass, and the vibrant, traditional outlying villages, today all abandoned and in ruins. A book for anyone who loves the territory, who has any links with its past, or even wishes they did! White buckram covers a little soiled, spine, EPs and page edges lightly tanned, dedication on title page, internally a good, clean copy. 175 pp., 100 b&w photos, 2 maps. Size: 25 x 18 cm.

Endpapers decorated with a map and a plan of Hong Kong. 175pp. Hong Kong, Privately Printed, ?A joint authorship often conceals a junior partner, who, having tagged along and done some of the donkey work, perhaps with a typewriter, can hardly be left out. Nothing could be more untrue of the contents of this book. This is a husband-and-wife combination in which, like two sportsmen out with guns, the proprietary rights of a certain bird have been observed but the bag at the end of the day is pooled.? A beautiful photo-book with charming text. John Stericker had been interned in Stanley Camp during WW2.
