Hong Kong University Press has been one of the most useful local resources for me. The HKU Press is, and has been since the 1950's, an authority on Hong Kong Chinese history and cultural studies. It works hand in hand with the university, obviously publishing professors from their own departments, but also engaged in dialogue with professors overseas, to compile a respectable collection on HK scholarship. When I was at university in London, I did a lot of research on Hong Kong history and politics, and 'HKU Press' would always come up in the best articles or journals. Now that I'm back in my favourite city, I can order off HKU Press ONLINE with 20% off web orders, shorter delivery times, and delivery cost only the price of the local mail courier!! For scholars and students to your every-day, run-of-the-mill Hong Kong citizen, the HKU Press online store and shop offer over 50 new titles every year (mostly in English to meet the demands of international readers). It is one of the few portals one can order off textbooks on Hong Kong contemporary politics, including my most recent acquisition: "The Dynamics of Social Movement in Hong Kong" (ed. Stephen Wing Kai Chiu and Tai Lok Lui). Very interesting read. The Press also have some incredible book series covering Hong Kong history, law, politics, economics, and so on, pushing the boundaries of Hong Kong scholarship for decades. Particularly pleased with their Queer Asia book series, which analyses non-normative sexualities in Asia - one of the first series to look from this non-West perspective. Huge fan, thanks for the books and keep them coming! read more
