Here are two pages that exist on the www.howasiaworks.com site under separate menu buttons. I am replicating them on this site as a posting and filing it under Uploads / Downloads
One page provides a Paypal link for people who want to obtain the first chunk of data behind How Asia Works.
The second page is for anyone attending one of my talks in China or another country that makes it hard to import books who wants to be sure of obtaining a signed copy.
Any event I speak at which is open to the public will continue to be listed on the Events calendar in the right-hand bar.

Get the data behind How Asia Works
During the research for How Asia Works I accumulated large amounts of data to support the arguments I make. The first batch of data, concerning agriculture, have been put together (by an impecunious graduate student) into Excel and Numbers spreadsheets and around 30 useful charts and graphs.If you would like these data, you are invited to support the continued organisation of the rest of the data by paying a minimum of British Pounds6 (more if you are able and think my research worthwhile) via the link below. The money will only be used to pay poor graduate students.
Click on the tiger’s head to pay via a Paypal account or a credit or debit card. If you are generously paying more than Pounds6, please use multiples of 6 to avoid confusion with payments for signed books.
You will then be sent the files. Please do not undermine our work by giving the files to other people. Many thanks.
Pay for a signed copy before an event
When I speak at events, copies of How Asia Works are usually available for purchase at the event and I will sign them.
It is difficult, however, to get books to some events, particularly in China. If you want to be certain of receiving a signed book at an event in China — or in any other state that heavily restricts freedom of information — you can pay British Pounds15 via Paypal and one way or another we will get you the book.
Click on the tiger’s head to pay via a Paypal account or a credit or debit card. Pay multiples of Pounds15 depending on how many books you want (don’t worry that the quantity button is fixed at 1). In the course of paying, you will see a link labelled ‘Add special instructions to the seller’. Use this to indicate which event you will be attending.
You need to pay at least one week before an event to be sure of getting a book. Any problems, use the Comments function to send me a message (it will not be posted; I have to hit a button for that to happen).
