Dear List Members,
On Wednesday of this week, in courtyard of the venerable University of
Vienna, host of this year's EuroSEAS conference, it was announced that
Philip Taylor's book, *The Khmer Lands of Vietnam*, won the inaugural book
prize give by the European Association of Southeast Asian Studies.
Although professor Taylor was not there to hear the announcement, he should
know that there was a loud and delighted cheer from the audience. Many
members of this list were there to witness the joyous announcement, and we
all agreed that it was a well-deserved award for an excellent piece of
academic scholarship. We were all quite happy and proud to hear the news.
Congratulations to Philip Taylor!
best wishes,
Erik Harms

Yes, this is wonderful recognition for a Vietnam scholar who has written many fine books. This last one is especially nuanced and well researched. Congratulations to Philip!

Somehow my earlier message of congratulations to Philip got bounced from the vsg listserv. So here it is again.
Two well deserved accolades. As a southern Vietnamese, I particularly appreciate that Philip has written a story that is so neglected by Vietnamese themselves.

Yes, a pity that Philip was unable to be there (though this did not stop us celebrating his fine work in his absence). At least we were able to get series editor Ed Aspinell up front to get some well-deserved praise for all the work that he and Andrew Walker are doing on the AASA's Southeast Asian series.

Thank you, dear VSG colleagues, for your generous comments on this award and on my research. I have long been inspired by the scholarly excellence and collegiality of so many of the people on this list. I am pleased that Vietnam studies is doing well now in so many ways and in particular in Vietnam itself.
All the best,
Philip
