| As far as I know, all major book stores sell them. Try Kyobo bookstore (Kyobo building, Gangnam) or Bandi & Luni's (COEX, Jongno Tower). And then there is the "What the Book" in Itaewon. I'm sure they have those as well. |

Bought mine at Kyobo books (huge brick building about 800 meters? North of Kangnam station).

you can also order online - you can often get a discount by ordering more than one at once from lonely planet - they throw in freebies.
so what if you pay a little extra for shipping - you're going to pay extra anyway at any store in Korea - they just pass the shipping charges on to you.
check the date/edition of the ones you do see in the stores - sometimes they are out of date or a newer one has been published. |

Unless you order from What The Book? (that link should take you directly to the Lonely Planets). You pay no shipping if you order more than 2 books (unless it's changed recently) and the prices are identical to what they are in the States (adjusted a bit obviously for the exchange rate). Chris even has a ton in the store so you can probably get the ones you want in just 2 days.
