= Scarce and sought-after guide for Hong Kong. Aside from detailed and useful practical information, and some historical context (especially on the 'Chronological History of Hong Kong's Trade'), this is a guide-book for the tourist with money to spend. It includes a list of ballrooms, theatres, night-clubs, 'Peak Tramway' history, Hongkong's Riveiera, 'Autocar drive in Kowloon and the New Territories', vegetable markets, cinemas, restaurants, hotels, nightspots, a few blanks leaves reserved for 'Shopping Lists', 'Cinese curios' (antiques, pottery, jade, jewellery, etc. )and also 2pp. to 'Suggestions For Gifts' for loved ones ('Diamonds').
Superb copy. The book seems to be complete with all maps issued (maps 40 and 4 unnumbered), but the map-series skips the numbers 22 and 29 with no traces of them being taken out at all. Furthermore the printed boards call for 48 maps and 44 photos and the dustjacket for 50 maps and 30 photos.
