Asia As It Was Once Perceived - Annual Printed catalogue from Asia Bookroom Just Published

We are pleased to announce the publication of our latest printed catalogue entitled Asia As It Was Once Perceived. As you probably know throughout the year Asia Bookroom issue lists by email. Over 40 different Asia related lists of out of print, secondhand, antiquarian, new books and related paper items are electronically published, but only once a year do we publish a printed catalogue.

Our printed catalogues differ from the e-lists in ways beyond their format. The theme of our printed catalogue is scarcity, importance and beauty. Each item included is featured because it fits into one, or more, of these categories but unlike the e-lists there is no subject or country theme.

Printed copies will be available at our stand at the Hong Kong International Book Fair on Friday. (For full details visit http://www.hongkongantiquarianbookfair.com/) Copies of the catalogue will be posted out next week. As we realise that, sadly, not all of our customers can visit us at the fair in Hong Kong we wanted to make sure that you were not disadvantaged and that you have the opportunity of seeing the catalogue first. Please bear with us if there are delays in posting your order as some of the books are in Hong Kong while others are in Canberra. Rest assured we will hold the items available and send them to you as soon as we can.

The irony of announcing and issuing a printed catalogue electonically is not lost on us; in fact, this interplay of old and new reinforces the importance of collecting and preserving the survivors, antiquarian books. We hope you enjoy browsing through Asia As It Was Once Perceived and that we might see you in Canberra or Hong Kong soon.

All prices are in Australian Dollars.
