This book is probably long out of print. I found it at my local library in a collected works of Kipling from the '90's (1890's that is).
It is a collection of letters written for publication by Kipling as he travelled through the Far East: Burma, Singapore, Hong Kong, Canton and Japan. As usual he has a sharp eye for detail and strong opinions about everything he sees -- some of the opinions are interesting, others border on intolerance, even racism.
Artists should be judged by their best works, not their worst. This should not be the first book you read by Kipling. Or the second. Or the third....
