The PDF file uses the same layout as the source file of the print copy, though the document settings are at a somewhat lower resolution to aid portability whilst retaining reasonable quality for the images.

These are available from Amazon Kindle Stores around the world, e.g. amazon.com (priced $3.00) and the UK (£2.30).

I adopted the EPUB standard in preparing the electronic version, which means I should be able to make the e-book available through other services besides Kindle. More about the production process and these intentions to follow in another post.

Fuengsin.org will be serving as a companion site, beginning with a contents page, a complete list of all the websites mentioned in the endnotes .  It’s intended to supplement this with digital versions of photographs, further facets from her life and a chance to provide feedback and ask questions.

The book is available through amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.fr, amazon.de, and other Amazon sites — the recommended retail prices are $14.99, £9.95, and €12.99 respectively. (For CreateSpace users, orders can also be placed through their store.)

This book has received many contributions and feels like a crowd-sourced publication.  Thank you to everyone who has helped.
