Dear Jim, The American Heritage Institute just announced that Hong Kong has the second most free economy in the world - after Singapore. Last year Hong Kong was first and lost that position because of intervention of the Government in the stock market to curb hedge fund speculation against the Hong Kong dollar. China, according to the Heritage Institute is 138 on the list. Hong Kong governs itself as part of the "one country - two systems" concept and for us who live here nothing much has changed since the British have gone (except Gus the English Motorcycle cop has been replaced on TV's "Police Report" by a Chinese lady - but Gus is still patrolling the highway).:>)) Jim, I hope that you will do your book printing where you get the best value for money and if that is Hong Kong please keep up with your present relationships. And (on topic) Hong Kong is a great place to buy Leica equipment! Best Regards HOward Cummer
