스틸북스 Still Books

Large 4 storey independent book shop with a focus on overseas publications, design, travel and food related books. Large selection of magazines on the ground floor next to the entrance. Members get a 5% discount on every purchase.

This bookstore is sublime. Each of the six floors contains carefully curated selections of magazines, books and stationary/lifestyle products. The cafe on the top floor is especially atmospheric at night. There is also an excellent Still children's reading library tucked away around the corner (thru the inner courtyard, past the Michelin started restaurant, down the stairs next to the Dyson shop). My son spent two entire days in the children's reading room on a recent trip to Seoul. Highly recommended.

Great bookstore with nice selections. It is not a comprehensive book store with a large collection, but more of a curated one. Nearly all of the books are in Korean, so it is not recommended for non-korean speakers. However, the design of the building, the interior and the layout of the bookstore should be an interesting sight. And the small details and the branding of the book store really makes it stand out. They also sell some stationary and lifestyle goods.

quiet. hip. for ppl who wanna pretended they're 'finding themselves'/are pretentious

Really interesting space... Most of the books are understandably in Korean but there are a few English books on each floor. Surprisingly that includes back issues of Monocle. There are also a few seats (actually just a couple) on each floor if you want to flip through some books. Cafe (and bar, i think?) on the top floor.
