The only one I know of is Little John's in Suwon. It's a fantastic store but I really don't want to go all the way into Yongtong just to go there (f-ing yongtong). Where else might I find a really good store for materials? Please don't mention Kyobo.

There's one in Bundang, but is that too far?

Kim and Johnson's is great, there's a branch at Gangnam station, and a new one at Cheonho station

Bandi & Lunis - one branch in COEX;
- one in Millenium Plaza, Jongno Tower basement (ie in Jonggak Station, subway line 1)

Books Libro - Suwon Station; other places in Seoul

English Plus - about 50m from Jonggak Station, walking in Kyobo Building direction. This bookstore only has English books and resources. It's good and has a lot of stuff, but restricted to the publisher (Oxford, I think) that owns the franchise.

If you know of the titles you want, you can also order online directly from the publisher, or email the reps to request a catalogue. Cambridge and Oxford Presses both have Korean websites.

Another point about Kim and Johnson's is that if you say you are a teacher you will get a 10% discount. That can help.
