A confession: I really enjoyed putting this together for hours! Hours! I was so engrossed with the on-line detective work and in the reshaping of some of the images to follow my design plan. Unless I am otherwise advised by the authors, AMAZON is the default link for most of these books. I am just delighted to know that the community has published so many in the past three years. I hope this fact encourages others to keep plugging on their works-in-progress. I would like to exhibit these publications in five-year increments beginning with 2005. I am already hearing of new books coming out as far as 2010. The Filipino-American literary community is still small but growing. They are very special people, with many important narratives to share with the nation.

What a parade of colors on this page! I really hope that you don't leave this page without ordering a book or two. Books make great gifts. Gift giving brings a lot of good karma. How's that? Also, you don't necessarily have to give them to a Filipino-American friend. Give a book to anyone who loves to explore new horizons. It's never too late to learn about a new culture, especially one that is increasingly making its mark in the U.S.

On a purely empirical note, many of these books are second or third publications already, from a wide array of publishers too. When I edited The Literary Review's Filipino issue almost ten years ago, I was complaining about the dearth of publication among Filipino Americans. Well, someone was listening!!! And there are multiple publications here by the same authors in three years. I want to know what they put in their coffee. But I want to know what you are using that Amazon gift card for. Gift giving brings . . . yes!

And on a political note, I'm glad that none of these book covers looked exoticized. The power of the author really shows in how he influences the look of his book. If anything I know about my colleagues, they know how to exert their power. No one will be telling them to put a coconut tree on their covers anytime soon.

So buy a book today and see the power in their words as well!
