<DIV><FONT size=4>Dear friends and colleagues,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I think and hope many will already be familiar
with</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG><EM>A Year in Pyongyang</EM></STRONG> by the late
Andrew Holloway.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Although hitherto only available on my website,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>for which thanks are due to Andrew's son Ross</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>- see <A href="http://aidanfc.net/pyongyang.html"><FONT size=3>http://aidanfc.net/pyongyang.html</FONT></A></FONT><FONT size=3> </FONT><FONT size=4>and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><A href="http://aidanfc.net/a_year_in_pyongyang_1.html"><FONT size=3>http://aidanfc.net/a_year_in_pyongyang_1.html</FONT></A> -</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>this unique memoir has, as I had hoped it would,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>become </FONT><FONT size=4>quite widely read and cited in the
literature.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>See for instance pp 139-41 in Bruce Cumings'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><EM><STRONG>North Korea: Another Country</STRONG></EM> (New
Press, 2004),</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>whose bibliography lists Holloway between </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Selig Harrison and Helen-Louise Hunter.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>And lo, a dream long-cherished has come to
pass.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Much more conveniently, and remarkably cheaply,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>you can now buy and read <STRONG><EM>A Year in
Pyongyang</EM></STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>as a proper book; or if preferred, a download.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>This happy event is entirely thanks to Tim Eyre,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>whose zeal and kindness I can't praise enough.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>He suggested it and has done the whole thing,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>including editing and setting the text, as a
labour</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>of love. This is a rare spirit to find nowadays.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>There's a link to buy the book at Tim's
website:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://sites.google.com/site/nihilistorguk/"><FONT size=3>http://sites.google.com/site/nihilistorguk/</FONT></A></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>This offers other items of interest too,
including:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>* a Kanji font of his devising; and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>* his own travelogue of a visit to the DPRK in
2002.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Alternatively, you can order <EM><STRONG>A Year in
Pyongyang</STRONG> </EM>directly at </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/a-year-in-pyongyang/14737249"><FONT size=2>http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/a-year-in-pyongyang/14737249</FONT></A></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>In the UK the price is just £4.93, plus £2.99
postage.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>(I gather that US dollar and euro prices, also
modest,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>are applied if you order from outside the UK.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Or if you prefer a downoad, this will cost you the
princely</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>sum of £0.66! That's barely a dollar, and less than a
euro.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>The download comes immediately, as I can testify.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>The books are made to order, which takes 3-5
days.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>End of advert. I hope you enjoy the book.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Wishing everyone a warm weekend from (finally) sunny
Devon,</FONT></DIV>
