[KS] RAS Korea in October / November

[Brother Anthony]

Members of this list are more than welcome to join the activities of the Royal Asiatic Society listed below. Full details are in our home page  http://www.raskb.com/ 

For the first time since 2012 the RAS is holding a Book Sale October 11 - November 11, offering books published by us in decades past as radically cut prices. Many of these are not easily found and scholars wanting to build up a Korean Studies library might find something of interest. For full details see http://www.raskb.com/content/special-book-sale  

The scanned contents of our journal "Transactions" are available up to a certain date in the RAS home page, http://www.raskb.com/node/8   and we are working on updating it, but meanwhile a more up-to-date version is available through my own page http://anthony.sogang.ac.kr/Transactions.htm

Brother Anthony
President, RAS Korea.
