So far 60 customer reviews on Amazon. Plus a fantastic review by China Daily newspaper, who said:
"There is no single image that can adequately represent the diversity that is China. This is partly why Tom Carter's 638-page tome of photographs taken during his tour of the country between 2006 and 2008 works so well... It's not a travel guide showing China dressed in its Sunday best, or a photojournalistic approach documenting the underbelly of the country, but rather a peek at the sights Carter has seen and a corrective to both the glowing promotional images and negative Western media shots that we are all familiar with."
Also, CNN "Go" interviewed Tom about his China travel adventures, Shanghai Talk magazine gave Tom's book its cover story, and Tom will also be speaking about his photography on behalf of the USA Pavilion at the Shanghai Expo on August 15th.
It seems the world finally knows about CHINA: Portrait of a People, even though we completed our backpacking journey across China more than 2 years ago. Like the old saying goes, "good things come to those who wait."
So for anyone planning on backpacking in China, or working in China as an expat, take a look at CHINA: Portrait of a People to inspire you. With over 800 pictures of Chinese people and places, this book will encourage you to follow in Tom Carter's trail-blazing path across the 33 provinces of China. Order it today on Amazon.com; it's finally available anywhere in the world!
