<DIV><FONT size=4>Dear friends and colleagues,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Too many valuable tasks often are, or go, thankless. So may I
take</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>this opportunity, on behalf of the popular masses,
</FONT><FONT size=4>to thank </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Stephen warmly for his decade of sterling service to our
community.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Not forgetting all who write the reviews, and indeed those
whose</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>labour and diligence keeps </FONT><FONT size=4>the whole
KS enterprise on the road.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>KSR is invaluable. </FONT><FONT size=4>Stephen has surely
earned a break. I'm sure </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>we all wish Robert </FONT><FONT size=4>well in taking over the
reins.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>So many books in English on Korea these days! Even as
one </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>struggles to keep up, us old-timers may recall when they
were</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>but a handful, and each new one an
event. Rejoice!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Dear all,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>As long-time list members will have noticed, Korean Studies Review has
been primarily conspicuous by its absence over the last year. A host of other
commitments have kept me away from editorial duties, and the situation is
likely to continue for the foreseeable future. I have decided, therefore, that
rather than leave KSR in this semi-moribund state, it's time, after a decade,
to hand on the editorial reins. I'm pleased to announce that KSR will be in
capable hands, as Robert Fouser of Seoul National University
(fouser@snu.ac.kr) will take over as editor. He'll be working with reviewers
from now on, sending out reviews and overseeing the KSR website. Eventually
KSR will migrate to a new server, but for the time being reviews from
1998-2007 will continue to be available at http://koreaweb.ws/ks/ksr/ ;
reviews from 2008 on will be available at the new KSR website
(http://hangul.snu.ac.kr/ksr/).</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Below is the list of books that are currently available. Those who are
interested in a book should write to me directly at
<stephen.epstein@vuw.ac.nz>. I will continue to arrange receipt
for now and Bob will handle sending out books from the next notice of books
available. For more info about KSR and to access past reviews, see
http://koreaweb.ws/ks/ksr.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face="Book Antiqua"></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Finally, let me say that working on KSR over the years has been a great
pleasure, largely for the opportunity to get to know so many of you
electronically, and then often, in person.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Best wishes to everyone, and thank you for your support over the
years.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Stephen</DIV>
