Itaewon Foreign Bookstore

Older versions of things at an incredibly high price for what used books are worth. However, you buy what you want if it satisfies. There is a strange smell similar to muscle relaxer on all the books in addition to a musk. The scent never leaves the pages and agitated my eyes. I have found some things worth getting, but you're better off trading on Facebook in communities if you're here long term.

Run by an old Korean couple thats been here for ages, they're one of the fundamental components of what brings life active around here. Check it out for a nice surprise once in a while for your favorite authors.

Not a reliable place to sell books. The owner did not want to buy my books on my last visit, even though they were in very good condition. However he bought books from me on an earlier visit. It seems to depend on the mood of the owner.

The definition of a secondhand book store. Grouchy owner, organized chaos, random random everywhere. Worth the trip!

Cozy place to crawl through to find random foreign books!
