Book Giveaways…Carl Crow in Chinese and Minuit a Pekin

Posted: April 1st, 2026 | No Comments »

My biography of the great American advertising man in Shanghai, Carl Crow, is available in Chinese!! Pubished by Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences Press (SASSP) and a massive thanks to my translator – Nie Zuguo 聂祖国. And I’ve got a few copies to give away…. just send me your address (paul@chinarhyming.com) – sorry, but can’t mail them to the PRC or USA (they just disappear at the border in the first and the duties/tariffs now make it unaffordable to the second).

And also a few copies of the French edition of Midnight in Peking (Minuit a Pekin) for anyone in France, Belgium, or indeed anywhere but the PRC or USA who’d like one?- Sorry, but, as above, they rarely ever arrive in China and Trump’s duties/tariffs make it unaffordable to the States now. Just email me your address to paul@chinarhyming

– premier arrivé, premier servi!!
