Small Preview on the History of Steel Catalog

Andrew · 25th April 2007, 11:03 PM

Got my copy today. Wow!

VANDOO · 26th April 2007, 05:55 AM

I RECEIVED MY CATALOG TODAY AND I AM VERY IMPRESSED IT IS A FIRST RATE PRODUCTION. A PLEASURE TO LOOK AT AND GOOD EXERCIZE LIFTING IT, AS IT IS A VERY LARGE AND HEAVY BOOK. MY CONGRADULATIONS AND THANKS TO ALL WHO DID THE HARD WORK THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE. WAY TO GO MACAU MUSEUM AND ANTONIO THANKS FOR ORGANIZING AND COMING UP WITH THE FUNDS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN

I SURE WISH I COULD HAVE MADE IT OVER TO SEE THE ACTUAL EXHIBIT.

Hi Andrew and Vandoo,

Thanks for the kind words. Thank you all that have cooperated to make the exhibition possible.
Now we are proud that your names are in the catalog

Got mine from the Shadow of Leaves. Had time only to glance through the pics: highly professional. That's how to photograph swords!

If you order this through the Macau site http://www.555555.com.mo/shopping/index.jsp?lang=E , (which is the cs@kongseng.com.mo Antonio mentions above) be a little careful as the checkout process appeared to reject my order three times this evening but I now find I have been billed three times for the book. I dont know why this has happened and I am not suggesting they wont sort the problem out for me (fingers crossed) but watch out. I guess the worst outcome is that I will have two spare copies of the book.
cheers

Have you emailed them? If so, always have to write in very simple English.

Problem is I advertised that it was available for sale at Shadow of Leaves for quite some time.

Have you registered? Is your computer on a broadband? Would it time out?

Don't lay the blame on me

Best of luck

I do not have a credit card, so I tried to get this book through a friend. We stopped trying as apparently this site is not secure?

I will exceptionally ask the Museum staff to contact them and get an answer about security.
So far I know it belongs to a big telecommunications and cable tv group and it sells tickets online to all concerts and events in Macau.

It is the only way you can get the catalog now. The same Museum staff runs two Museums now, one alongside the other.

and

Macao Hand Over Museum

They are side by side

Way too much work by a great staff

It seems to secure enough . When you click "checkout" the address changes to https:// from http:// and there is the padlock in the bottom Rt hand corner of IE . There are no other recognised security certificates though .

Also when they send you the confirmation e-mail they correctly do not include any of your credit details as email is not secure .

As an extra precaution I have also phoned my credit card agency giving them exact details of the transaction including the amount and have advised them to get back to me with any suspicious activity in europe or the far east or double orders which were not authorised by me .

Despite all this I guess all I can do from now is keep my fingers crossed

.

Well i've ordered and the transaction seems to have only gone through once - phew

The only oddity is that i've received e-mail confirmation twice in English first then 1 hour later in Chinese ( order rEf is the same though )

As expected shipping is about twice the price of the catalogue itself - can't wait to get my hands on it though
