It has a reasonable selection of ESL books and they are happy to order anything that is not currently in stock. It saves a special trip to Seoul!!!

I find it disappointing, but I don't want to discourage people from shopping there because that's all Incheon has to offer.

BTW to Chris (OP): there are alot of comics available via bitorrent.

Just a quick note saying thanks for all the advice, although its meant i'm a lot poorer now Smile

Personally I prefered the selection of books penguin has over oxford but its all good. I bought 5 penguin readers 2 manga comic books artemis fowl and a HUGE book of calvin and hobbes.

Artemis Fowl is good but hard so only grade 3 would be able to slog through it (about the same level as harry potter 2) and Calvin and Hobbes is generally too off the wall for them to comprehend, but i wanted it Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Thanks again

C

Yeah I'm him.

Well I announced in all my classes today I've got some English books for the kids to borrow.

BOY they went fast... I bought 3 comic books (big books not mags), 5 penguin readers and 1 proper kids book.

After my first class I have 1 proper kids book and 2 of the penguin readers. They'd of had artemis fowl too, but a. I wanted to read it Twisted Evil and b. they are first graders in middle school and with all the will in the world they arent going to follow it.

Still I'm really chuffed and so are all my co teachers, I don't think they realised that there is any interest in English outside of school! Smile

Big thanks again to all who offered advice.

Chris
