Hi
I'm looking for travel guides so I'm coming up to Seoul and I know about Kyobo books (don't recall the subway station - Gwanghwamun?) and the two used bookstores around the back of the mosque in Itaewon.
Are these the only three in Seoul?
edit: I just found out about Ulchi Book center at Ulchiro Il-Ga (kitty corner to Lotte)

Bandi and Luni's gets my vote. It's in Coex Mall--great supply of books, many different genres, and they're priced at the current exchange rate, so no mark ups. Kyobo was always too crowded and crazy for me. |

Start at Kyobo and get what you can find, then walk out the door, turn left to the corner and cross the big street at the bell and go down to KyungPoong and add to your haul; then come back up and continue on down the street to Ulchi/Libero (it has some new name like that) and add some more--it used to have a great selection, but those days are far in the past.
For variety, do the book stores in reverse order. |
