小弟的劣作《我有的是GUTS》已經上市一個星期!
這一天經過觀塘,就特意繞道到apm 6樓的三聯書店『巡視業務』!
很多朋友跟我說:『你的書很難買呀!跑了好多家書店都找不到!都被搶購一空了!』
既然如此,那我就更加要親身去看看嘛!
步入書店,很容易就在暢銷區(書本平放的區域)找到了書。
書被放在旅遊列的中間,可以說是旅遊列中最引人注目的位置!
疊書最上面的一本,是直立放著的(不知道是書店職員還是讀者這樣放?)
這時,書架的前面有一位中女在看書。
咦?
『我不快樂,但我靠我的雙手存活著』這不就是我的書嗎?
這下讓我緊張起來!這位女士會買我的書嗎?她會喜歡我的文字和照片嗎?
心如鹿撞的我,看著她把書揭來揭去,
一時細看文字、一時賞看相片,約莫看了五分鐘的時間。
我心想:揭書揭這麼久,應該是有興趣吧?買吧!快買吧!
可惜,這位女士最後放下了書。
書店之內,當身份從讀者轉為作家,感覺原來是這麼不一樣的。
雖然那位女士沒有掏出錢包,但我心裡還是滿高興的。
蔡瀾曾經在節目《蔡瀾品味》中提到:
出版飲食書藉前,覺得作家很厲害、很威風,
但是當自己出了書以後,發覺自己的書只是書店中千千萬萬本書的其中一本,
就會覺得其實自己還是很渺小。
我嘛?倒還未有這種渺小的感覺,
在意的,倒是讀者欣賞與否。
書店之內,琳琅滿目的書藉,每一本都是嘔心瀝血之作。(這不是誇張的!)
能夠使讀者把自己的書從書架之中提取出來,已經是一件不容易的事情。
如果讀者把書翻揭再翻揭,更是代表書有吸引力!
標題、封面、排版、圖片、文字等等等等,讀者都會留意得到。
讀者不買一本書回家,背後可以有很多原因。
但是,當他/她拿起書賞閱的時候,已經是對出版者的一份肯定。
目前《我有的是GUTS》銷量甚佳,各大書店已經補貨了!
多謝各位讀者支持!
欣賞本書的話,請把這份GUTS傳揚開去吧!

ReplyDelete我也看完你本書~~還好我還未到三十, 一於去闖闖~
ReplyDeleteHi...
ReplyDeleteI have finished your book and it is really interesting and meaningful for me. It also reminds me that I have such dream to go to WHV before. After several years graduation of CU (also the same university as you :)), I nearly give up my dream and work and work just for $$$. But after reading your book, I am now planning to go for WHV of Ireland next year. I also hope that I have such 'guts' like you and can finish the journey finally.

Youth is priceless!
ReplyDeleteI wish to see more young people in hk get out of their cradles and search for their own future. On the other hand, I also wish more parents in hk realize that when their children grow up they need to live their lives independently. We do not need to breast-feed our children all their lives! Parents, do your parents breast-feed you all your lives?
ReplyDelete原來你出了書, 我現在才知道 (好像講到好熟咁, 但其實我一直都係用無名氏留言 @@~)
ReplyDelete你個遊記爛尾!
好彩你而家出左書, 我要去買返本至得!
wei wei wei 我睇左你本書~~~我都好想去呀~~~我想問我而家可唔可以申請定下年二月的 working holiday visa....佢有無限只可以係幾多個月前申請
ReplyDeleteHI!
ReplyDelete出發前三個月可以申請!
如果滿額的話要到明年三月才可以申請。

ReplyDelete今天到apm三聯沒有看到你的書..還有得賣嗎??
ReplyDelete請問有向店員查詢嗎?可能是放到別的書架上,也可能是暫時缺貨呢~~
ReplyDeleteHi, I have a question anout WHV. can you help?
ReplyDeleteYou worked in KFC for more than 3 months right? But on the visa it says we can only work for 3 months for 1 company. then we needa find another job. But KFC have no problem with that? Iam now in dublin and i found a great job but they worry if i can work more than 3 months. Thanks a lot!
yes, in law we cannot work at a job for more than 3 months, but actually no one care about this. It will only be a trouble if your employer know this restriction.
ReplyDelete經朋友介紹,知道了這本書,上網一找,找到來這裹,很希望在幾年後我都有這份guts,去見識這個世界..
