Books by Derek Sandhaus

Old Peking was the cultural and political center of a nation in flux. This book provides a glimpse of that world with a mish-mash of photos, clippings and writings, bringing to life those far-off days.

Pirates, plagues, pistols and poisons; with adventure of all varieties, the third instalment of the popular 'Tales' series is a rollicking journey into colonial Hong Kong. A collection of historical odds and ends - stories, quotations, cartoons, postcards and drawings - recount in thrilling detail how a 'barren rock' seemingly destined to fail rose to become one of the richest trading outposts in Asia.
