I've ordered off of Amazon. The shipping is kinda steep but it was delivered to me no problems. If you gotta have it, you can't do wrong with that.

I know you can order via whatthebook, but I don't know if it's any cheaper than Amazon.

whatthebook has free shipping, so yeah, they're cheaper. And if they don't have the book you want, they'll order it for you.

Just ordered some books from www.whatthebook.com this morning. For free shipping you need to order two books. Or you can pick it up for free in Itewan I believe.

They have lots of stuff. I just ordered a French becherelle. I have been looking for one for months. They have used books as well. Shipping is w4,000. But, you can get a used book for a second order (which can cost about 4,000-5,000) and get free shipping.

Wow! What a great site. I found all the fifth and sixth grade titles that I loved as a kid.


Thanks a lot,

Many people have gotten screwed by Korean customs and charged a huge import tax when ordering from Amazon.com. What the book is the way to go.

Amazon is Great. They're here in about two weeks. Shipping is reasonable
