| Hand-Painted Signs of Kratie |
Ladies & Gentlemen,
I present to you what many are tipping for this year's surprise Christmas best seller, my first book,
Hand-Painted Signs of Kratie. It is now available to
buy in printed and eBook formats (suitable for iPad, Kindle, Nook and most other eReading devices and applications). There is also a free preview available in various digital formats.
The book is a celebration of the art and craft of Cambodia's hand-painted advertising, 138 colour pages crammed with photos of everything from flying pigs to retro hairstyles and hand grenades.

These images are accompanied by the unique story of the signs and the people who paint them, alongside my own observations on what they tell us about Cambodia.

Even in this book's short life many of these hand-crafted creations have fallen by the wayside and, day by day, the content of the book becomes increasingly rare.

I hope you will join me in this celebration of Cambodia's hand-painted advertising and please
share with friends, but not those who you plan to give it to as a gift...
