The first edition of this guide was published a year earlier in 1969. Papineau had previously published successful series of guides including Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Bali This colourful and practical guide published during the travel boom years of the 1960's and 70's, rarely appears on the market and is relatively scarce. The two large scale maps cover Kowloon and Victoria. The colourful illustrations give a real sense of the 1960's period.
