[KS] Korean romanizations perplexities (again): a seorry state of affairs

[curt]

Another problem with this volume is that the table of contents isn't 
revealed on the publishers website for the book - nor at amazon or 
anyplace else that I've seen the book for sale on-line. What other 
chapters are there on Korean subjects? - besides the very interesting 
sounding one on Gihwa already mentioned.
