[KS] RASKB Books

[Kwang On Yoo]

Dear Brother,

In my opinion, the best way to move your valuable inventory is through
consignment. You can designate a consignment shop in Seoul, perhaps Kyobo,
and one in the States, maybe Seoul Selection in California, and possibly one
in London, all which are capable of handling mail orders and credit card
transactions.

You can publish a list of your inventory at these consignment shops in your
monthly posting with [KS] and in the case of Seoul Selection in California,
they will do the same in their weekly internet posting.

I hope this works.
