Dear Colleagues,<BR>
<BR>
I too am interested in perusing the Korean-language version of Gari's research on Korean cartography. <BR>
<BR>
Visits to the homepages of two large bookseller chains in South Korea confirms that the ISBN number and other information may be found in their entries for<BR> <한국 고지도의 역사>.<BR>

<DIV>Great news! Could you please give the ordering information for the book, including the ISBN number? It will be a great addition to any Korean collection in libraries in the U.S. and elsewhere.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Congratulations and many thanks, Gari and Mr. 장!</DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE style="BORDER-LEFT: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 1ex" class=ecxgmail_quote>I'd like to announce on the List that my article "Cartography in<BR>Korea", which appeared in Vol. 2, Book 2 of The History of Cartography<BR>(Univ. of Chicago Press, 1994), has been published in Korean<BR>translation as a book (단행본).<BR><BR>Under the title <한국 고지도의 역사>, translated by 장상훈, a research official at the Korean National Museum, and published by 출판사 소나무, it came out a<BR>couple of weeks ago and has been commented upon in the newspapers. This year is the 150th anniversary of Kim ChOngho's famous national map, the 대동여지도, so it got a little extra attention. I cooperated with Mr. Jang during the translation process, and I think the result is very good.<BR><BR>The Korean version is strikingly different from the original Univ. of Chicago publication, which had only six illustrations in color--and even those embarrassingly printed in two separate color sections grouped with maps from Japan and Southeast Asia. The great majority of the original 54 black-and-white illustrations appear in the Korean version in beautiful colors.<BR><BR>The Korean version presents my entire English text in exactly the same order as I originally arranged it. But it has broken it into five distinct chapters, each decorated with a colorful detail from a Korean map. Some of the chapters are divided into sections. This all makes for a sharper and more orderly presentation. There is a great bibliography and a detailed index.<BR><BR>All in all, it is a great pleasure to see such a beautiful Korean presentation of my original "article." The price is a very reasonable \35,000.<BR><BR>Gari Ledyard<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></DIV> </div></body>
