from Grove Press
Price: $4.79

Customer Review:
I will have to be brief: wrote a detailed review, only to see it disappear with pressing the back button after going to the Real Name section for some editing ! (Amazon: wake up !)
This is a wonderful, very well researched book that is not condescending at all. It looks at events and flow in a... more info

2.City of Darkness - Life In Kowloon CityCity of Darkness - Life In Kowloon City
from Watermark
Price: $79.50

Customer Review:
It truly is sad this city no longer exists. It served an important purpose and may well have had a more important community feel than NYC or other cities that are just as "dark". The photographic essay Greg Girard did seems to capture all aspects of this super-condensed city.

This history is well balanced, thoroughly researched and very readable.

5.Asia Shock: Horror and Dark Cinema from Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and ThailandAsia Shock: Horror and Dark Cinema from Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and Thailand
from Stone Bridge Press
Price: $6.00

Customer Review:
I purchased the book because of the reviews and because there aren't that many books on J-Horror. A few things I didn't like- while the movie reviews are well written and quite obvious that the author has watched them- there is way too much detail, i.e. spoilers in the reviews. If you have not... more info

Yuk-ling, age forty-three, assembles high-end audio systems in a brightly lit, air-conditioned shop floor in a modern factory building in Hong Kong.

from Vintage
Price: $5.75

Customer Review:
At least one of the reviewers on this list was unkind about the book, but I think it only fails, in the manner that all single-volume histories do, by trying to cover so much in so little. I have only read the unrevised 1990 Penguin paperback and only after I had already worked in Hong Kong in the... more info
