Through the Looking Glass…on Kindle

I’m often moaning about the high price of academic books – great titles that set you back 50 or a 100 quid are a pain, especially for those of us not anywhere close to an academic library that we can slip into. Maybe Kindle is the answer? It might be for some of my books. My Through the Looking Glass: China’s Foreign Journalists from Opium War to Mao is now on Amazon in Kindle edition for under 7 quid!! How good is that…and you get all the photos. So hopefully a bunch of students or more casual readers may decide to buy the book at this price. Additionally, if you’re in China or somewhere where the book is hard to find (though you can always rely on the excellent Bookworms in Beijing, Suzhou and Chengdu to stock it I might add) then now it’s a click away at Kindle. Excellent.

I might also add that my Carl Crow biography, A Tough Old China Hand is also available in a reduced price Kindle edition too – double excellent!! And well done Hong Kong University Press.
