[PEN-L] self-promotion

I just wanted to alert those interested in issues related to Korea, East Asia, Marxism, and development theory --to a recently published book called Marxist Perspectives on South Korea in the Global Economy. It is edited by Martin Hart-Landsberg, Seongjin Jeong, and Richard Westra, and published

Martin would deserve a reprimand if he had failed to notify us. Michael Lebowitz waited for someone else [Hugo Chavez?] to alert us to his book. For anyone on the list, let us know about your good work. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 Tel. 53

Re: [PEN-L] self-promotion

For most university presses, it's about a 1000 hardcover, which is difficult because libraries have stopped buying everything that comes off the presses. At places like Oxford that are supposed to make money, the numbers are higher--probably 2500 in hardcover and 5000 in paper. Didn't someone on P
