New Hong Kong Butterfly Book

[EarlyStages]

A Photographic Monograph on Hong Kong Butterflies – http://hkls.org/monograph_hk_butterflies/

It's my understanding that this first volume treats 60 species, illustrating the complete life history of each one and the majority of their known foodplants in Hong Kong.

Keith

[Common Mime]

May be CP can order for us using his account? ;P

For less than S$30, this is definitely a good buy! :)

[EarlyStages]

Volume 2 is now available, with Vol. 3 targeted for July. No word yet about number 4.

Keith

[Commander]

Looks like there's a bigger number of Hongkongers who are butterfly enthusiasts and are working hard to document their work. :thinking:

[vespa_bicolor]

I will be going back to Singapore in a week's time and if anyone is interested I might be able to bring back a few copies.

[Commander]

I will be going back to Singapore in a week's time and if anyone is interested I might be able to bring back a few copies.

Thanks, John. I'll reserve one copy each of the available volumes! :cheers: Will arrange to pay you when we meet up. :)

[Silverstreak]

John,

Thanks for the offer!

One copy each of Volume 1 and Volume 2 for me

Cheers!

[horace2264]

John,
If there is stiill luggage capacity for more books after Khew and Sunny's orders, I would like to place an order for available volumes too.

Horace

[Rustic]

If possible, I would like to have 1 copy of each volume too. :)

[Peacock Royal]

One copy of each volume for me also (if you still have luggage space).
Thanks John.

[vespa_bicolor]

OK, there should be enough luggage capacity for the five of you so far, but no more after this! Should be able to pass to you guys in about a week or so. I will be returning to HK in March for about a week and then going back to Singapore again, so if there isn't enough space for some this trip I'll squeeze in the next one. And if volume 3 is indeed out around July I should be able to bring a few copies back in my September trip.

[Common Mime]

Ops, am I too late to show my interest?

If possible, I would love to have a share too.

Thanks in advance, John. (no matter I got it or not)

[vespa_bicolor]

No worries, I'll try to squeeze it in this time, if I can't I'll get it for you in March!
One of each volume as well?

[Common Mime]

Yes, John!

One each. I can wait till March. No hurry at all. :)

[Sky Blue]

If not too troublesome for you, please get me a volume each, I can wait too. Thanks !

[vespa_bicolor]

No problem. So seven sets of one volume each altogether so far. I will go down to get them tomorrow or on wednesday, and then I'll see how many I can fit in my luggage. I will be able to bring more back in March as my luggage will be lighter the second time round!

[Glorious Begum]

My apology for late request, hope you could get a set for me (one each). I can wait for round 2. Then I need SG guys to bring up here for me. Many thanks. :cheers:

[vespa_bicolor]

Sure. Will keep you updated and pass to anyone who can pass it to you.

[vespa_bicolor]

Unfortunately the books seem out of stock everywhere, and Volume 2 seems even more sold out than Volume 1! I went to several bookshops but only managed to get two copies of Volume 1. I will pass these two copies to Khew and Sunny since their requests were the earliest. There isn't much time to go hunting since I am packing now and will be back in Singapore tomorrow, but I will get a friend to go searching for the remaining copies (six of volume 1 and eight of Volume 2) and bring them down on my next trip in March. I apologize to all of you for the delay!

[Peacock Royal]

John, there is no reason for you to apologise to us. You are doing us a great favour. We are sorry for making you to hunt for the books.

It seems that it is not easy to find books on butterfly at HK. When I was there last Dec for about a week, didn't come across many butterfly books.

[vespa_bicolor]

The larger chain bookshops carry most of the local butterfly books (many only in Chinese though). Seems like people are buying a lot of them, that's why they're out of stock so fast. A few weeks back I saw so many copies of both Volume 1 and 2 in the bookshops, now when I need to get them, I went back and found so many all sold out!

[Commander]

Thanks for buying the two copies and carrying them over, John.

Wasn't expecting a nice hard cover book at S$25 :omg: . The pics are quite nice and in a simple format. Good series. :thumbsup: Worth buying.

Sunny, your copy is with me. Better come get it soon before someone tempts me with $30 and kidnapping your book from me. :bsmile:

[Leopard Lacewing]

Hi John, hope I'm not late to make an order. please get me a volume each for me. Many thanks.

Cheers!

[vespa_bicolor]

You're not too late if you don't mind waiting a couple of months. I'm back already but I'll add your request to the list when I go back and come back again in March. The stock in the shops should be replenished by then.

[Cruiser]

John, if you don't mind please get me each one copy too, I can wait :cheers:

[vespa_bicolor]

Noted. Sure, will do.

[Peacock Royal]

[vespa_bicolor]

Will do. I am in fact leaving for Hong Kong tonight and will have 2 weeks to shop around. Thankfully i'll be travelling light this time so won't be much of a problem to carry the books. Will keep everyone updated when I'm coming back.

[Leopard Lacewing]

Hey John, thank you very much for all the trouble.

LC, if I got the books from John by the Koh Samui's trip and if you are going , I will bring them along for you.

Cheers!

[benetay]

Sorry for the really last minute request. Can i tag along this purchase? Will get 1 set. Both volume. It's okay if you can't make it this time round, no worries.

Cheers!

[Glorious Begum]

Thank you so much Bobby. I have not yet decided the trip as I am still waiting for my schedule. Sorry for not able to confirm my trip. :-(

Just saw this upon reaching HK early this morning. No problem, will add yours to the list (provided they are back in stock now).

[benetay]

Thanks a million!! owe you one.

[EarlyStages]

John, if you want to save yourself the time and hassle (and perhaps even some $), plus be guaranteed as many books as you can possibly stuff in your luggage, please visit LEE Ping Chung (李炳翀):

Hang Seng Castle Peak Road Building, Room 501
339 Castle Peak Road, Kowloon

Dr. Lee ("Doc") is the chairman of the Hong Kong Lepidopterists' Society, an avid butterfly photographer, and a very fine gentleman. If it helps, I can send him an e-mail saying to expect you.

Keith

[vespa_bicolor]

Hi Keith,

that's a great suggestion, thanks! However. Dr Lee's office is apparently quite far from where I live, with no direct bus routes (I don't have a car at this moment). I usually visit the bookshops near my place along the way after a day out hunting, so I will probably try these places first. If I can't find them by next week I will visit Dr. Lee.

[vespa_bicolor]

Some good news, the books are in stock at three bookshops located in the usual areas I frequent. However I may not be able to fit all into my luggage because I also have to bring some bulky items for a friend on this trip. I will get a friend who is also visiting to bring the rest down in early April.

[Peacock Royal]

Thanks, John.
Please advise us how to make payment to you.
Owe you a treat.

[Cruiser]

Thank you John, couldn't wait to read the book :cheers:

[Leopard Lacewing]

Thank you very much, John! See you in SG soon!

Cheers!

[vespa_bicolor]

Just got back late last night. I brought five sets back. Wondering how to arrange, four sets will probably go to the first four names down the list (after Khew and Sunny - I also brought one copy of Volume 2 for each of you) and I would also pass one to whoever can pass it to LC. I should be free most afternoons - but I won't be able to make it in the mornings till April. Do let me know when you guys will be free to collect them and let me know where would be convenient for you to meet me. I'll be staying till April so there's still time.

The rest will be brought over in April, I'll pass them to the rest in the list then.

(To Federick, is it OK if I pass you one set first? I will pass you the other in April.)

[Peacock Royal]

Thanks a lot John.
Sure, I can get one set first.

Let see if we can go out for shooting this Friday or Saturday. Will get back to you.

[benetay]

Thanks John, will be collecting from you in April.

Cheers!

[Glorious Begum]

Thank you so much John. Bobby will collect and pay for me. :redbounce

[Sky Blue]

why my name is not bold? :nunu:

[vespa_bicolor]

Hmm, Bobby, if you will be collecting and paying for LC then I think I will hand you yours first as well. Hope someone else originally supposed to collect this time round won't mind waiting a little longer.

I'll arrange with you all in a couple of days about when to meet and collect, because I'll be somewhat busy tomorrow and Friday. Should be free on weekends.

Seems like I have to wait a little while longer... Anyway, I am fine with it but if I am not wrong, Bobby is now overseas...

[Peacock Royal]

Not sure how you all make arrangement with John to collect the book.
I will be meeting hiim Monday evening after work.
I can collect and pay for you first. Let me know in this thread by Mionday noon.

[Rustic]

SC, u can take my slot first. :)
I dont need the books urgently. ;P

[Peacock Royal]

I will be meeting John at Tampines MRT (will confirm with you the exact place via sms) tomorrow evening (Monday 24 March) to pick up my copies as well as Sunny's.

[Sky Blue]

SC, u can take my slot first. :)

Sure.
If possible, will meet you guys somewhere this Sat or Sunday. Will inform you all.

[vespa_bicolor]

I've been back to HK for a month already, and initially I had agreed to send the remaining copies to Khew's address for those who haven't collected their copies yet. But upon coming back I've been so busy that I had no time to pack them and go down to the post office (spring is a very busy time for me, either I'm out all the time or bad weather keeps me indoors)!

Just want to check with those who haven't collected the remaining copies. I will be taking a short trip back to Singapore in August. Are you all willing to wait till then? If so I can bring the remaining copies back just like I did the previous time.

Apologies once again for all the delays.

[Common Mime]

Apologies once again for all the delays.No apologies is needed, John.

I can wait till whenever you are back to Singapore. Just let me know when you are back, then I will arrange with you to collect my copy.

Thanks!

[EarlyStages]

BTW, the third tome has been out for a while now.

Keith

[Glorious Begum]

I noticed that the sequence of pic is mixed up in the 2nd book cover. And for this, it looks like opposite to me. Is it just me ?

need to get this book. Can anyone help ?

Leslie, maybe you want to consider a short trip to Hong Kong? :)

I visited HKLS during early Dec several years ago. We tagged along with them to take a look a the winter roosting behaviour of Danaid butterflies. Around 10am or so, hundreds of them departed together (and it looked more like a fleet of bats!).

http://www.hkls.org/publications.html

However, I aint sure of the current status of the various sites. you could drop the author a mail if you are keen. :)

[vespa_bicolor]

A quick update - Will be back as early as next week possibly. But since I'm staying for as long as 2 or 3 months, I'll have a lot of luggage. My father will be going down on the 20th of Dec. for just a couple of days and he'll carry the books down since he won't have check-in luggage of his own. So far there are five sets, for CP, Chee Ming, Benedict, Ben Jin and Federick - correct? Hope I didn't miss anyone out, let me know if I did and I'll get before I go back. In any case I'll be renting a vehicle from around the 21st or so, so I'll arrange to meet all of you during that time since I'll be more mobile to deliver your books!

[Common Mime]

Thanks a lot, John!

[benetay]

Thanks a lot man!

Cheers!

[Cruiser]

John, many thanks in advance :cheers:

[Sky Blue]

John, can I trouble you? I know the weight keep increasing, just see if can :)

[vespa_bicolor]

John, can I trouble you? I know the weight keep increasing, just see if can :)

Should be OK! If I can't squeeze in for that lot I'll bring it the second time around CNY.

[Silverstreak]

John,

Include one for me if you can !


Thank you in advance!


Cheers!

[vespa_bicolor]

John,

Include one for me if you can !


Thank you in advance!


Cheers!

Sure! Sorry just want to clarify - do you mean another set of Volumes 1 and 2, or one of the third one?

[Silverstreak]

John,

Just Volume 3 , I already have volume 1and 2.

Thanks!

[Peacock Royal]

I thnik John is referring to Vol 1 and 2.

Yes, one set for me. Will meet up with you to collect the books. Many many thanks.

[Silverstreak]

Ops !

To preclude the possibility of a mix up .

I was referring to Vol 3 as I already have Vol 1 and Vol 2.


Cheers!

[Rustic]

Will be visiting HKG in early Feb.
Probably, can help to ship back some books if necessary. :)

[vespa_bicolor]

My father just came back again and finally, the books have been brought back! CP, Chee Ming, Benedict, Ben Jin and Federick, you can collect them anytime - just let me know in advance. Each book is HK$138 so HK$276 for each set (not sure of the exchange rate right now, will go check tomorrow).

Since it looks like CP will be in HK and back again earlier than me, you all might want to ask him to help bring back volume 3 - provided he has enough baggage space! :bsmile:

Do we pay u in HKD or SGD? :P (The recent forex rate is about 1SGD = 5.15HKD).

I might go "hunt" for volume 3 to complete the collection. :)
Any good book stores to explore?

[Cruiser]

thanks John, do let us know the exact amount and currency preferred :cheers:

[vespa_bicolor]

SGD will be best, since I'll still be here for some time. Drop me a PM or an SMS (can call me also but I spend a lot of time driving these few weeks so might not pick up immediately) at my number 97845360. Can arrange most times except for the first couple of days of CNY.

[vespa_bicolor]

I'll give you a list of the bookstores likely to have it (although not all of them might have so many copies at once, I actually had to buy from several different shops)

[benetay]

Thanks John! Will arrange with you!

Cheers!

[vespa_bicolor]

Will be going back in mid September. Anyone wants volume 3? Please list out here and I'll go get them in the next couple of weeks.

[Wanderer]

Hi John,

I wonder if it will be troublesome for you to get a complete set for me (Vol 1-3)? Thanks!!

[Silverstreak]

John,

Please get a copy of Volume 3 for me.

Thanks!

:cheers:

Sunny - Vol. 3

Anyone else? Closing "deadline" in a week because have to find time to go pick them up. Can squeeze in 7 more copies of vol. 3 or 2 complete sets. The book retails at a fixed price of HK$138 - lazy to do the conversion now :bsmile: .

[Great Mormon]

[Bluebottle]

Hi John,

That's it for this trip, because I picked up the books already and won't have time to go around again. Will be in Singapore next Tuesday (22/9/2009), and will arrange with you all again. Probably driving rented lorry as before so can do deliveries!

[Blue Nawab]

Thanks John for all that trouble.
Will be most glad to meet up with you in Singapore. Maybe just PM us once you are here and your location and will meet you up.
How would you like the payment to be made, Singapore Dollars or Hong Kong Dollars?
Thanks.

[Glorious Begum]

:redbounce Thank you so much John. Please pass the book to SC.

SC, need to trouble you. Thanks in advance. :cheers:

[Sky Blue]

no problem :)

[vespa_bicolor]

Books packed and ready to go, will be leaving for the airport in three hours. Please pay me in Singapore Dollars, the current exchange rate at the money changer was 5.1 so $138 / 5.1 = 27.05 ($27 will do). So for 1 of Vol 3 alone, 27, for a complete set $81. Will get in touch once I'm back and arrange with each of you. I'm in Tampines but don't worry, I'd rather bring it over to near your home or workplace if its more convenient for you so you don't have to make time to meet me elsewhere.

[butterfly_effect]

hey john, thanks for helping me to get the books! My workplc is on the east side. Let me buy u nice briyani lunch if u can drop by sometime when convenient. Will pay u cash when we meet :)

My number is still the same, but my plan got discontinued for some strange reason and Singtel has no clue what happened, and I'm still waiting for them to reconnect it. You can save and keep my number as its still my main number and should be working soon.

[butterfly_effect]

Oh dear... I hope somehow can contact each other on Tuesday. Whatever it is, I'll wait for all of you in the office. Unker Sunny has my number... KY... I left my number in your PM.

From the office, we do a short walk past some Centaur Oak Blue trees (keke!) to the Briyani place :)

[vespa_bicolor]

Number is working already!

[Rustic]

I will be in HK on the last week of Jan 2010. If any need more copies (or other books), let me know. :)

Or, maybe John can help us to get the copies, then leave it in my hotel's reception. :bsmile:

PS1: I will not be checking my mail very often. SMS me if there is any interest.
PS2: John, I have a pm for you.
