Kyobo is a wonderful bookstore. The English language selection is very good, and they have excellent customer service. The prices are very reasonable. If there is anything you want they do not have, they will order it for you and it will come in less than 2 weeks. It's located in an easily accessible and interesting neighborhood close to both Gwanghwamun and City Hall train stations.

I loved Kyobo bookstore. As a military wife living in Seoul for 2 years I was able to find a lot of books for myself, my husband and our preschooler. They even have Leapfrog learning system and other top brands available. The PX often sold out of "high demand" selections quickly. So it was nice to have a place to go within the area ...
As a Western scholar living in Korea and having limited access to scholarly books, it was refreshing to visit Kyobo Bookstore. A superb offering of Korean books, the English titles offer sufficient diversity to satisfy all but the most selective reader. I plan to visit regulary.
There is a very poor selection of books available in English. Many classic titles are unavailable. The history selection contains large gabs in coverage. The philosophy selection lacks basic works.
