First class, I cannot wait for that moment of ecstasy achieved when tearing off the wrapper on a new book.

I just came back to my office from a meeting and found a box of catalogues on my desk!
![]() Antonio, it is gorgeous! Well worth the wait. Since I could be accused of bias, I'll let others comment more fully. Thank you again for the opportunity to participate in this project. |

Check under New Arrivals for this icon. ![]() Eventually you have to register first and then buy it. Make sure that whatever correspondence you have cs@kongseng.com.mo use simple and easy to understand English. The site is owned by one of the companies that own Cable TV here so they are no scammers. Provide your name, make sure you tell the exact address, city, ZIP code, etc. I was informed today that many people who have emailed the Museum, were sent to this link as soon as it was up. Good luck. |

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 DrD |

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?

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 |

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 ![]() |

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 ![]() |

Hi all
I did not mean to give the impression that I thought the site or process was not secure, I am sure it is. Nor am I saying there is a major problem, it is just that the first and second times I tried to go through the checkout a server error message came up, leading me to think the transaction had not gone through when it actually had. If I had checked my email for a confirmation message before trying again I would have realised it had gone through. Antonio I am definitely not blaming anyone but myself for this blunder ![]() DrD |

I'm not sure. But since it became so big, it won't reach the 1.000 mark. |
