— American Dirt (Oprah's Book Club): A Novel by Jeanine Cummins
This autumn in Hong Kong, we are giving you the chance to “travel” through books safely. Due to the recent global situation, many of us are unable to get out of the city this year. And we believe books will be the best alternative for you to lose yourself into this wonderland of imaginations, fantasies, make-believes, etc.
With over thousands of titles, ranging from design, arts, architectural, photography books to novels, children pictorials and travel guides, there is always something for everyone. A mixed of pre-loved and new books and DVDs at a starting price of HK$10 each, these books will help Asia Society Hong Kong Center to raise fund to continue to pursue our mission.
Pre-loved books:
- Art and design books from a library of an educational institute
- Members’ private collection of books and DVDs
- Contributions from local book clubs
Brand new books:
- Art catalogues from galleries and art shows
- Baking cookbooks from an established studio
- Books from local publishers
- Collection from Asia Society Hong Kong Center
- Travel guides
Visitors, who dressed up as a character from their favourite books or movies, or to the theme of Halloween, will receive a copy of the Once in Life – Encounters with Nara catalogue after posting on the social media. Limited to one copy per person who dressed up.
Please come down with your family and friends to look through the collection and bring your favorite copies home.
For the safety of the participants, we have engaged Germagic to disinfect the site. To meet the recommended social distancing measures, we will control the number of visitors in the venue.
