A longer visit than expected to China, Hong Kong and Macau, has seen the rewarding finish to the printing of the main body of the book. In the China portfolio you will see a series of photographs from my travels in this very hot and humid region of the Far East.
The printing was undertaken by Everbest Printing in Nansha, 90 minutes from Hong Kong by high speed ferry. The quality of printing, level of professional service and friendly advice was as good or better than I have experienced anywhere else. This was all the more important given my requirements and the accurate placing of the overlay pages. Visit www.golflinksofscotland.com.
