Seoul bookstores are delightful. There are so many for foreigners and English speakers. Koreans love books, and I love Koreans for treasuring books so much.
There are many large chains like YP books and Kyobo books, which are mass sprawling places where you can sit and enjoy books.
There are used bookstores like Aladdin and smaller outfits which hawk books that foreigners give away.
There are also small boutique chains like Arc n Book which feature artisanal products, literature, and other goods to bring in the yuppie crowd.
No matter the type of book, Seoul has a bookstore for that specific bibliophile. Its love of learning and knowledge is unmatched. Many cafes sell books as well.
Seoul is a wonderful treasure trove for book lovers all over the world.
