<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span lang=EN-US>I wonder if
I could ask the members of the list for some advice? The Royal Asiatic
Society Korea Branch has been publishing its journal Transactions since 1900
and scholarly books about Korea since the 1960s. In our storeroom we
currently have thousands of unsold books and several hundred copies of every
issue of Transactions since 1960, as well as 60 reprints of the complete
volumes 1-40 of Transactions. Our question is what we should do with them
all? We would like to sell them, of course. But how? For example, Sam Hawley's
"Imjin War" is currently priced on Amazon.com at $450 new
from individual sellers, whereas we (the publishers) have several hundred
copies in stock available at about one tenth of that price. Yes, we are not
good at marketing, obviously. And getting listed in Amazon.com from overseas
is out of the question. The full list can be seen in our home page <a
href="http://www.raskb.com/" target="_blank">http://www.raskb.com/</a> and I
would be very grateful for suggestions. The radical solution,
"pulp the lot," has something to be said for it but there are some
very fine books there. Richard Rutt's edition of James Gale's "History
of the Korean People" for example. Do we have any alternative?<br>
