SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1978
+AT THE SAME TIME WE ARE NOT NEGLECTING OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE TO PRODUCE PUBLICATIONS WHICH DISSEMINATE INFORMATION ABOUT THE WORK OF THE GOVERNMENT AND ITS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES,+ THE SPOKESMAN STRESSED.
+THE HONG KONG YEAR BOOK, WHICH PUTS ON RECORD THE ADVANCES BEING MADE ON MANY DIFFERENT FRONTS, CONTINUES TO BE OUR MAJOR PUBLICATION, AND DEMAND FOR IT, ESPECIALLY THE CHINESE EDITION, IS RISING YEAR BY YEAR.
+SALES OF THE CURRENT EDITION, HONG KONG 1978+, ARE EXPECTED TO REACH A RECORD TOTAL OF AROUND 40,000 COPIES BY THE END OF THE YEAR.+
THE SPOKESMAN ALSO POINTED OUT THAT THE OPENING OF A NEW GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS CENTRE, WHERE MODERN BOOKSHOP FACILITIES ARE PROVIDED, HAS STIMULATED DEMAND FOR GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS. THE CENTRE IS ON THE GROUND FLOOR OF THE NEW POST OFFICE BUILDING IN CONNAUGHT PLACE.
HE SAID: +WITH DEMAND CONTINUING TO RISE, CONSIDERATION IS NOW BEING GIVEN TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PUBLICATIONS CENTRE IN KOWLOON. HOWEVER, THIS WILL DEPEND ON WHETHER FUNDS CAN BE SPARED, BEARING IN MIND THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS MANY OTHER PRIORITIES TO CONSIDER.+
