I would have done a search but that service doesn't seem to be working for me.

I am looking for a comprehensive English bookstore in Korea. I know about 'What the book?' but they don't have a good selection and I can't seem to find a way to order books through them. I would like a bookstore that carries the books I want or will order them if they don't.

Any ideas?

Click the search command and remember to click 'find ALL terms'. It's easy! and effective in many cases, like this one, plenty of good threads surface, like:
