I'd also be willing to sell. 5000 won for the Christian/non-fiction. 4000 won for the rest. If you buy a few (5 or more!) I'll ship them for free.

Yeah, I'll later update the list if I find some time. I once had more than 300 books in English but only a little over 100 now. Most of what I still own are paperbacks. Hope many more willl post theirs too. Very Happy

I know...there must be more readers! It really is the best way to get new books. I've done it before and nobody ripped me off. I add a couple new books each week, so keep checking back if you don't like my stuff now.

Anyway, I'm heading to Seoul next weekend and am seriously thinking I'll just take the stack into whatthebook. Aish Sad
