This book was published
on 29th January 2011. It comes in hardback and consists of 176 pages,
most of which have colour photographs of varying sizes. All articles are
written in Chinese although each article heading has an english translation and a brief english summary. A selection
of photographs of various pages of the book are included below.
This
year (early 2011) we have been spoilt for choice with the publication of three 'Yearbooks' and
Dominic has again set the benchmark for this his second edition.
One
minor criticism is the use of very small text and a dark green
background in a few tables in the Fare Collecting Systems article
- although I can understand the need for laying the table out in a
single page - a little hard to read at my age without the aid of a magnifying
glass!
Other than that, another very good book and certainly well worth the HK$200 price.
