An experiment in publishing a fresh edition of a previously published Beijing guide on-line via Medium. For now, limited data while layouts and links are tested, but with several hundred pages being gradually uploaded. The material was originally published by Cadogan Guides as Cadogan Beijing, but a second edition was abandoned by the publisher partway through, its completion instead partly crowdfunded via Indiegogo when the author regained the rights. The original material has been comprehensively revised, updated, and expanded, with the aim of eventually producing a print-on-demand version. But for now it’s available, free, here. ‘While guidebooks are rarely read for pleasure, this one offers an argument for the armchair.’ TIME. ‘More than comprehensive.’ Holiday Asia. ‘Fun but authoritative, the book is written in the strong voice of someone who loves poking around Beijing’s hutongs, buzzing with pleasure at each new find… old China hands will even learn a thing or two. And the well-worn tourist attractions like the Forbidden City are given a new spin in a refreshing break from all the been-there-seen-that guides on the shelf.’ TIME.
