[KS] 'A Year In Pyongyang' by Andrew Holloway: Now available as a book (or download)

[Afostercarter at aol.com]

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