Here they are, finally, pictures of the HK equivalent to Buenos Aires. According to B. A. Affair, it was originally released in May 1997 as a paperback (see above). Six years later, in 2003, a hardcover version was published. It has a different cover, but I guess the content is the same.
So, is this exactly the same book as the one from Japan? No, not exactly. Well, while the journal is completely the same (this time it's in English and Chinese), most of the pictures can't be seen in the Japanese counterpart. And most of the pictures that can be seen in the Japanese book can't be seen here. Again, we need both to get everything we want!
Additionally, the text of the journal is either in front of a photograph or there simply is black background. There's no white background as in the Japanese edition, giving these two books completely diverse visual styles.
Apart from that, almost everything that applies to the Japanese journal also applies to this edition.
Nowadays, as all these WKW photobooks are out of print, most people will probably buy the Japanese edition, as it's easier to get. You can constantly find it on Amazon Marketplace or Ebay! This one was harder for me to obtain, but finally someone offered it on Ebay. Sadly, it's the paperback edition which is about to fall apart - but still better than nothing I guess!
