Back from the printer



At 11:15 am today, the books were delivered by the printer. This is good news because the launch in Singapore is 4pm tomorrow!

It looks and feels pretty good. I really like publishing hardcovers and plan to do more!

Amir Muhammad said...

Hardcovers last longer, and so would be kept in better condition in libraries, where people can get the book for free!

But look at the book first and see if it makes sense as a paperback ;-)

Izmil said...

Hi Amir. This is Su-Lyn, a reporter from The Malaysian Insider. I would like to interview you on a story I am doing on the indie publishing scene in Malaysia. Do let me know what's your email address so I can give you more details. Hope to hear from you asap. My email is su-lyn@themalaysianinsider.com

Hi Amir,

I'm an MA student working on 1950s-1970s malay movies as part of my thesis (i'm looking into queer families in particular) and this book is such a great help :D

I enjoy your perspectives and your insights on Malaysian politics are beyond valuable.

Just a note though: I was quite surprised you didn't talk about Siti Zubaidah (it is probably one of my favourite malay films). I thought the inter-racial lesbian under/overtones were particularly fascinating :)

Anyhow, i hope to get my hands on a copy of Orang Macam Kita soon.

Thanks for the great read!
