It has a good selection of English books. Many French books as well. In addition, many illustrator books.
Go out Exit #4 and walk straight for 200 meters. It's just before the HighMart. |

If memory serves, yes. There is also a sign that reads "책." It's mostly secondhand books, the majority of those being novels or fiction, but there are a few gems in there. If you're looking for teaching materials it'd be better to go to Kyobo or Bandi and Lunis. |

One of my Korean friends said that it's cheaper to buy books online. She said that the price is cheaper AND delivery is free.
I was at a regular book store last week and it had a small English section. Mainly popular novels and Korean reprints of classics. The prices on some of the novels matched the US$ price on the back, with others it was about 10-20% more. |

Sometimes it's just nice to go to a brick and mortar store and browse. I've made some great discoveries that I wouldn't have had I only been dinking around on websites. |

| You can also buy books in English published in Korea. They are usually famous novels or books with footnotes in Korean. I bought a Kafka novel for 6,000 won this way. |

| There's a Beautiful Store bookstore near Ewha. A few English books, but not that many. |
