------------------
I have been asked by one of our teaching staff if our library can
purchase a
volume of topographical maps of Korea.   According to the verbal
information
given to me (which is fairly vague) the maps were at a scale of
1:50,000,
and were originally printed by the Japanese government when Korea was
part
of the Japanese Empire (1910-1945).   The maps have been reprinted, in
the
form of a book, edited by Professor Young-Woo Nam.

If anyone knows of this volume, and can supply the full bibliographical
details, that would be very much appreciated.   If the cost is known as
well, that would also help.

Many thanks,
Brian Marshall
