Guerrilla P.R. 2.0: Wage an Effective Publicity Campaign without Going Broke
By Michael Levine
The world’s most widely used and seminal introduction to public relations—now fully revised and updated for the 21st century with online strategies that work
Every Fortune 500 corporation, movie star, and scandal queen knows that a good publicist is essential to building success and maintaining public support. But if you’re a small business owner, an entrepreneur, or an undercapitalized beginner seeking an edge in a highly competitive arena, it’s unlikely that you have your own high-powered publicist.
Guerrilla P.R. 2.0 offers all the resources necessary to mount your own campaign and get the media exposure you need. In clear and concise language, Michael Levine, one of the top public relations counselors in the country, reveals the same procedures he uses every day to get press on major stars—and how those strategies can be utilized on little or no budget. You’ll learn how to think like a publicist and map out the perfect strategy for success.
A paperback copy (new) of Guerrilla P.R. 2.0 is available for sale at Bound Bookshop. Call (7992004) or email us (boundbookshop@gmail.com) now to reserve this book. Other books on public relations, communications, marketing and media, as well as on other subjects, are also available for sale at bargain prices.

Hong Kong, 13 November 2008 – A panel of three internationally acclaimed authors and experienced literary judges named Filipino author Miguel Syjuco the winner of the 2008 Man Asian Literary Prize for his novel Ilustrado, a fictional account of a young Filipino caught within a notorious scandal spanning over the Philippine history.
(The same novel also won the grand prize for the novel in this year’s Palanca awards. More about Syjuco and his novel here.)
The Man Asian Literary Prize was established in 2006 to bring greater worldwide attention to Asian writing and authors. The inaugural prize was awarded in November 2007 to Wolf Totem by Jiang Rong, which was published in English to great acclaim in early 2008. Several works shortlisted and longlisted for the 2007 Prize have since been published.
The panel of judges for the 2008 prize praised Ilustrado:
“The shortlist for the Man Asian prize testifies to the great vitality of the novel in Asian societies undergoing hectic and unexpected transformations. In the end, we had to choose; and Ilustrado seems to us to possess formal ambition, linguistic inventiveness and sociopolitical insight in the most satisfying measure. Brilliantly conceived, and stylishly executed, it covers a large and tumultuous historical period with seemingly effortless skill. It is also ceaselessly entertaining, frequently raunchy, and effervescent with humour.”
The prize winner was announced at a celebratory dinner at The Peninsula Hong Kong and Miguel Syjuco was awarded USD 10,000.
The judging panel for the 2008 Man Asian Literary Prize is: Adrienne Clarkson, former Governor General of Canada (Chair); Nicholas Jose, writer, scholar and former Cultural Counsellor at the Australian Embassy in China; and Pankaj Mishra, acclaimed Indian writer and thinker.
The shortlist of five from which the winner was chosen included Indian writer Kavery Nambisan for The Story that Must Not be Told, Indian writer Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi for The Lost Flamingoes of Bombay, Filipino writer Miguel Syjuco for Ilustrado, Chinese writer Yu Hua for Brothers and Filipino writer Alfred A. Yuson for The Music Child.
Man Group plc is the sponsor of the Man Asian Literary Prize, in cooperation with Asian Literary Prize Ltd. Man Group also supports a variety of other programmes as well as charities aimed at furthering literature and literacy, including the Man Hong Kong International Literary Festival, a 10-day event that attracts authors from around the world and thousands of attendees. Separately, Man Group also sponsors the annual Man Booker Prize and the bi-annual Man Booker International Prize, in conjunction with the Booker Foundation.

The Many Ways of Being Muslim: Fiction by Muslim Filipinos
Edited By Coeli Barry
This landmark collection brings together for the first time 22 short stories by nine Muslim Filipinos written over nearly seven decades, beginning in the 1940s. As the stories in this anthology reflect, there is no simple or complex way to capture the complex ways Muslims from different backgrounds – but especially those from the college-educated middle classes — interact with and help define contemporary Filipino identity and intellectual life. Few Muslims have seen their work anthologized in major short story collections in the Philippines: this anthology, possibly the biggest assemblage of Muslim Filipino fictionists, is intended to give readers in the Philippines and elsewhere a chance to read and enjoy their writings.
A softcover copy (new) of The Many Ways of Being Muslim: Fiction by Muslim Filipinos is available for sale at Bound Bookshop for only Php780.00. Call (7992004) or email us (boundbookshop@gmail.com) now to reserve this book. Other books on literature, local and international, as well as on other subjects, are also available for sale at bargain prices.
