GOOD MORNING HANOI A year on the airwaves in the new Vietnam by Iain Finlay and Trish Clark
I read this book a couple of years ago and highly recommend it, the Aussie authors spend a year in Hanoi doing a radio show and get access to all kinds of everyday life that is out of reach to regular tourists such as myself. The book is in very good condition, very clean and rarely read, aging lightly. See photos for cover blurb, sample pages and condition - enjoy!
