Hong Kong Guide book/help needed ASAP

[vamichael]

Hi all,

I'm in Manila now and have checked almost every book store in the
city looking for ANY guide book on Hong Kong. I can't find a thing.
I can't even find the pirated copies that seem to be all over the
other asian city markets

I'm flying there Friday afternoon and would like to have some sort of
game plan in place (going to be there for about 6 days).

Do you have any idea as to where I can find a decent book upon
arrival? I have gone into many cities "blindfolded" and things have
turned out fine, but since my time is short I would prefer not to
waste a couple of days on logistics.

Thanks

I live in Manila and don't know why you're having difficulty in
finding those books. I'm not sure exactly which part of the city you
are in, but have you checked Power Books or National Book Store? Both
of those companies have outlets all over Manila and both have
extensive travel sections with maps and travel guides.

This is probably a little too late now but you can buy guidebooks at Hong Kong airport, or if you're in Tsim Sha Tsui, Central or Causeway Bay, Page One is the best English book store with plenty of choices for travel books.
