I am currently editing the third edition of The Guide to Gaoyou. Upfront printing costs are high ($5000.00+) so I will need to make sure there is enough interest before going to print with a third edition. If you are interested in a copy of the book please let me know by getting on the waiting list. There is no obligation to purchase a book in the future.

Thank you,

Charles Day

Reviews

I just received my copy of the Gaoyou book yesterday. I haven't had time to read it all yet, but it is such a wonderful keepsake for me and my daughter! It looks very professional and I am delighted to have it. I am very grateful to you and everyone involved in its production. I only wish I had such a book for my older daughter's home town (Chuzhou, Anhui Province). Heartfelt thanks!

We received the book over the weekend and have been looking at it and sharing it with others ever since. It is such a labor of love and beautiful gift to to your daughter. Thank you for sharing it with all of us. We are not quite certain how to express our deep gratitude. It means so much to us to have the wonderful pictures and history of the town where Tessa spent the first part of her life. Even though we visited the institution in late March, we saw little to nothing of Gaoyou.

I’ve been in Berkeley for a few days and had the great pleasure of seeing your book arrive in the office, along with the fantastic contribution. This is a truly impressive book—how I would love to have something like this about my daughters’ cities!

Congratulations! I know there are many grateful Gaoyou families out there, and we at HTS are equally grateful that you chose to support our programs through your labor of love.

Yours,

Emily

Our book arrived today and it is FABULOUS!! Words really can not describe how much this means to us and how much we appreciate the effort that went into this. It was clearly a huge undertaking! Thank you just doesn't seem adequate, but will have to do.

Blessings and hugs!
