It is suggested that Asian Prizes and Awards be established

Of

it will not come

into reality unless through the joint efforts and sponsorship by leaders of Asian nations and its people.

Asian people would be proud of such awards and prizes.

Should such Prize Foundations be established, our Foundation would be delighted to participate and in order to start the ball rolling, we are willing to take the first step of donating from HK$200-500,000 to stimulate support.

Books by FCC members are becoming popular purchases at the club itself.

That the author is often wellknown to the buyers undoubtedly helps sales, Another factor is that the club does not impose bookstore mark-ups.

Latest release through the club office is Faces of Jopan, by Australian photographer Bob Davis, with an introduction by fellowAustralian FCCJ member Murray

Sayle, The FCC charge is $70.

Davis' book is a product of

the '70s. Travelling extensively in Japan, he has eschewed colour, and instead photographed in contrasting black and white to capture the many môods and contradictions of the country.

The result is a finely-bound tome of 88 carefully selected plates, printed by the gravure process to ensure quality reproduction.
