Before ordering books from abroad and paying for shipping (in additional to the higher prices that are often charged), check out naver. By searching for the titles and authors on this site, you'll be able to find the lowest three prices/sites for the books you're looking to buy here in Korea. These are often MUCH lower than the prices of books back in the UK or in North America, and you also save on shipping, not to mention that the books are often delivered the next day. I did this for my master's studies, and continue to do so for my doctorate, and I must have saved at least a million won or so by now. Take a look!

I used a Korean site last week and it was pretty good. I found two of the books on yes24.com, and they were much cheaper than the prices quoted from UK delivery sites. I will try a naver search and see what else comes up.
