 |
|
I'm getting conflicting info here.
What's the bookstore with the largest English selection?
I usually go to Kyobo in Gangnam, but it seems they never get anything new in. Is the Bandi & Luni's at COEX bigger? I've also heard of huge bookstores at Jongno and Jamsil. |

| COEX Bandi and Luni or Jongno's Kyobo. If you go to Gwanghwamun then you can check out both Kyobo and Bandi and Luni because they are pretty much across the street from each other. |

| It's not the size of the bookstore.. it's the size of their English book collection. |

| Jongno's Kyobo is definitely the biggest. Youngpoong is much more convenient for out of towners since it's in the bus terminal. |

And now we know who comments after reading just the subject, not the post.
Thanks for the recommendations. Spent the day tearing through chapters at COEX. Will check out Jongno and Youngpoong (wherever that is) in the near future. ^^ |

Have you tried What the Book in Itaewon?
Big selection of English books and magazines. You can also trade in your used books. |

No matter where you go, the selection is always very limited.
For Language and other educational books, plenty. Finding good Novels on the other hand ... |

What the Book is great, though I was a bit disappointed with their used collection..then again I was spoiled back in the States with used bookstores all around  |
