Anyone know of any book exchanges or 2nd hand bookstores in Korea? I remembered awhile back that there used to be a sticky but it seems to have disappeared. I've tried using the search function but all I ever get is a blank screen. Thanks!

there's a book exchange at Gecko's Terrace in Itaewon on Sundays at either 2 or 4 PM. Sorry, I can't remember the exact time, but the guy who runs it will be around shortly to remind everyone I'm sure.

There are second hand bookstores all over the place. There's some in Dongdaemun if you walk along the left hand side of the "river." There's WhatTheBook in Itaewon up the hill right before you get to the fire department. There Seoul Selection near Gyeongbokgung.

here's the websites to a few:

Please post if you find any.

Been dying to find some new stuff to read. I'm willing to get into a book exchange club if others are interested.

i should say that if you're a fan of science fiction then Seoul Selection is the place to go. Their collection isn't that expansive but most of their books are science fiction and they're pretty cheap.
