Seoul Selection Bookshop

What is this?
Front IsApparently this book store, located right next to Gyeongbok Palace, is the place to go if you are looking for English-language books on Korea. It seems like such an obvious business idea if you consider that the Palace one of the biggest tourist hotspots in Korea. They offer DVDs with English subtitles and traditional Korean music CDs along with their selection of used books.

Where is it then? 
From Gyeongbok Palace Station Exit 5, head East along the front of the Palace itself. When you get to the end of the wall, turn left and, just around the corner, you will see the pedestrian crossing. When you cross the bookshop will be right in front of you.

From Angug Station Exit 1, head West towards the Palace. Just before you get to the Palace you will find a small police station. Make a quick right just as you past it and you will see the pedestrian crossing. The store is basically right next to you.

(The Police in the area are very friendly and often speak English. If you get lost, as a policeman standing or walking around.)

And when are they open? 
9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m, Monday to Saturday.

I have questions. Can I call them?
Try (02) 734-0565

Is this information still correct?
I was at the location on 10 July 2011 and can confirm the pin. I have not had a chance to go inside yet.

Take me back to the list of bookshops, or show me the map with all the pins on it.
