what he meant to say is
www.whatthebook.com
They have their location on their website. Pretty good selection.
There is another one in Itaewon (a smaller all used bookstore), but my directions wouldn't be much help. |

| The other used bookstore in Itaewon is near the Noksapyeong subway station. It's on next to the Lexus dealership. This place and What The Book both have a decent second hand selection; but, you can usually haggle on the price a bit at the place near the Lexus dealer. |

| The Whatthebook site sells used books or new books? I just went there and the prices all look like they're for new ones. |

The book store I'm thinking of is near the NokSapYeong subway, but I don't think its next to a Lexus dealer. I think its right next to a Yellow Submarine sandwich shop and a burger place (and by the way, Yellow Submarine rocks!) So maybe 2 book stores in that area?
I've only been to whatthebook once and it is mostly new books (though reasonably priced), but I think they do buy and resell used books also. |

Its the same bookstore... it is between the Yellow Submarine and the car dealer shop. (lexus I guess)
the website only shows the new books but it has directions and a map to the shop.
they have both new and used books in the store. But the prices are not a big discount from new books... but saves on convienence of having all the books there in 1 place. |

| What the Book? has a huge used section, it's almost the entire wall that wraps around the back half of the store, and there are more used books on the shelves. |
