The Fallen Leaves – A Study of the Thirty Cents Novels in Hong Kong
"Thirty cents novel" is a low-priced and prevalent collection which widespread from 1955 to the early 1960s. They are different from the ones published by the publishing houses, where they released a 40000 to 60000 words novella regularly. The cover and the back always have some colourful pictures related to the content, and some black-and-white inserted pictures.
This book is the first book studying "thirty cents novel". It involves the discussion of different scholars, culturati and collectors, and strives to reappear the "thirty cents novel", share its spreading condition, present its publishing information and record the memories of people who have experienced that. This is to re-value this dispersed culture which had been bright at that moment.
