What has been said about LJ Hooker The Man:

“Natalia Hooker has created a book that should be read by all Australians.”

Kevin Weldon AM

“Few family albums can tell such a rich Australian story – of slow boats from China in the mid 19th century, of fruit hawkers and shopkeepers in turn-of-the-century Sydney, of a tenacious young man of Chinese descent who was determined to expand his business as fast as that rapidly-growing city. Natalia Hooker’s tribute to her grandfather is meticulously researched, full of surprises, and leaps to life on every page. Fabulous.”

John Fitzgerald, author of ‘Big White Lie – Chinese Australians in White Australia’
