So I heard about one in a different thread, but it looked like it might be dead.

1. Anyone know of any of these in the Seoul/farther north area?

2. If there isn't one we should make one

3. If not, someone should still trade books with me.


I have:
Old Man's War - Scalzi
Rainbow's End - Vinge
Anna Karenina - Tolstoy

Maybe a few others.

I did a successful exchange by post. It's about 5000 won to post 5kg
(about 5 books). Seems easier than meeting up.

I will post up a long list of books I have available tomorrow.

[jlb]

I'd like to exhange a few as well. When I get home I'll post my list.

[mrsquirrel]

It cost me about 5000W for about 15 books

[JustJohn]

Dunno, I'd feel more comfortable exchanging in person so I know I won't get screwed over, and I commonly visit Seoul on weekends.

Glad to see there's some interest though. Anyone got some Vonnegut?

Im in London at the minute and get get boxes of books, novels, educational, kids books etc etc.
Only problem is shipping to korea. If we can find a way to divvy em up, im happy to send em over.
Any ideas?

[JustJohn]

Can't you get a shipping container for like 40 bucks that holds like a TON of stuff? Heard about it but haven't looked into it. Slow, but cheap....

[JustJohn]

I might but I haven't had time to look them up yet, and I might be getting surgery on Monday so don't wait on my I guess, but I'll be back within a week for sure (I hope )
