|
|
Howdy,
I went lookin for books yesterday in Itaewon, and I found What the Book with no problem. However, Abby's Book Nook eluded me. I feel like I was in the right place ... I went upstaris at Gecko Garden and was right in front of the Big Electric Cat ... but no book nook.
Anyway, I am posting to ask if I am a poor navigator or if Abby's is no more.
Thanks all.
(also, I am looking for a copy of Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer if anyone has one burdening them =) ) |

I haven't been in the area for a bit to confirm, but does anyone know if Itaewon Foreign Bookstore is still around? |

I think it's great. They (the mother and the kid) are nice people. |

Hmm. that sucks. It was definitely the best location of the three of them, and in some ways the most comfortable. |

And they were putting together a little coffee area. Very cool, sitting with a book and drinking coffee near an open window. |

I like rhyming book store names like "The Book Nook." |
