I'm looking for a textbook for my course, but it's freakin' expensive, and I don't care to buy it if I can just go there and read it:

I found it here, but it's far away:

Anyone know of a good library in Seoul that I can search online to see if they have the book?

Not cheaper, but Kyobo has it. Closer anyhow...

I always went to HUFS (Hankuk University of Foreign Studies) for my MA research. Their library had a lot, but you need a document from your school to get past the guards.

At times, my solution to this quandary was to buy the book, take it home and snap digital photos of all the pages or just the sections I need, then return the book for a refund. Then upload the pics onto my computer. Laughing

I saw that about the 4th edition.

Here's the rub.... Amazon says there are several significant changes between the 4th and 5th editions, including entirely new sections.

The really odd thing, though, is that the number of pages between the 4th and 5th editions is EXACTLY the same.
