Book!
Out of the blue, I was contacted with a request to use one of my Flickr photos in a book!¬† The subject is, of all things, the history of karaoke!¬† I was kind of skeptical of the initial e-mail, especially considering the sleaziness of the photo, but looking up the writer’s name, I found he is a reputable scholar.¬† He (she?) is Zhou Xun — not the actress of Baober in Love fame, but the writer/editor of Smoke: A Global History of Smoking, and Narcotic Culture: A History of Drugs in China.
All right!
