i don't think things are so simple. i gather, from fairly recent
conversation with young-key (i hope i'm not violating your confidence, YK!)
was that ledyard 1998 was not *exactly* pirated. my understanding is that
ledyard agreed to the new edition, provided some new material, and promised
to see the book thru press - but then stopped corresponding with the
publishers in korea. in desperation, they finally published what they had.

see the 1998 book itself, plus YK's imminently forthcoming review in WL&L.
