For big bucks head to Kyobo book store. They're in the 50k range!!

I got one from the book dealer that brings our texts to our school.

We bought one there--they have several sizes, but they are pretty expensive. Ours is medium for 13K, but the next cheapest was around 30-40k.

Young Poon also has a pretty good selection of english books on the second floor. Its at the Express Bus terminal near the movie theater.

Map store in City Hall station.

City Hall maps have a good chance of being Korean.

Get a map at most large sized bookstores. Most will be Korean, some English, and a few both. The price can vary from 6000 to 50000. Get a simple cheap map.

Bought a decent one in Kyobo bookstore, not cheap. as has been mentioned. What I found interesting was that the seal had been broken and the 'Sea of Japan' had been whited out, rather crudely, and 'East Sea' substituted. A bit of censorship, for sure. Draw your own conclusions.

I inherited an antique globe from my grandmother. The penninsula extending from north-east China is, of course, the same color as Japan, an d labelled "CHOSEN". Not only is the body of water to the East labelled "Sea of Japan," but the cities are called Fusan, Moppo, Keijo, Gensan, Heijo, Antung, and Rashin.

The maps can't be worse than they are in China, where Taiwan in a "special authoritive region", and North Korean cities are shown with more promanence than South Korean ones.
