2.Lonely Planet Seoul (Lonely Planet City Guides)Lonely Planet Seoul (Lonely Planet City Guides)
from Lonely Planet Publications
Price: $1.98

Customer Review:
I thought that this is a very good starting point for Seoul. It has all the facts that a first time traveler would need. I have been to Seoul before so this was a refresher for me. From what I remember, directions are always precarious in Seoul. Most people give directions to subway station and... more info

3.The Two KoreasThe Two Koreas
from Time Warner Paperbacks

Customer Review:
Don Oberdorfer's The Two Korea's is a triumph of style over substance. To be sure, Oberdorfer is a compelling writer and he tells the story of North and South Korea since the 1970s with a great deal of flair. But Oberdorfer's overall knowledge of Korea and Korean history is very shallow. Oberdorfer... more info

4.The Korean WarThe Korean War
from Michael Joseph Ltd
Price: $132.69

Customer Review:
The author here is British and this book screams it from the first page. His bias of Brit=awesome, American=scrubs is equally as obvious. If the book was not so tainted with this bias one may learn some interesting facts from reading it. Unfortunately the biased comments throughout the book ruin it.

5.Korea s Place in the Sun: A Modern HistoryKorea's Place in the Sun: A Modern History
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $14.00

Customer Review:
This scholarly work is extremely well documented and annotated and, at the same time, relates current aspects of Korean life to its origins as far back as 2,000+ years ago.

6.The Koreans: Who They Are, What They Want, Where Their Future LiesThe Koreans: Who They Are, What They Want, Where Their Future Lies
from St. Martin's Griffin
Price: $7.95

Customer Review:
I read the Koreans a few weeks before embarking on a year-long teaching contract in Korea. I found the information extremely useful to anyone who does not know Korea well--which is probably the vast majority of people. The author, a British journalist, does an excellent job dissecting the nuance and... more info

7.MASH: An Army Surgeon in KoreaMASH: An Army Surgeon in Korea
from The University Press of Kentucky
Price: $24.00

Customer Review:
It's clear that the author is a doctor and not a writer. The book cries out for editing; writing errors and organizational issues permeate the book. That said, after I got about halfway through these things stopped bothering me. The story made up for it. The reality of the MASH is much more... more info

9.Moon Handbooks: South Korea (2nd Ed.)Moon Handbooks: South Korea (2nd Ed.)
from Avalon Travel Publishing
Price: $32.00

Customer Review:
The editors and author seem to not understand a travel book should guide the reader to what's most important to see and know about, especially in a country that is very foreign to most Westerners. There is an excess of needless information in this book, for example there is a useless laundry list of... more info

10.Korea: As Seen by Magnum PhotographersKorea: As Seen by Magnum Photographers
from W.W. Norton & Co.
Price: $42.00

Customer Review:
Beautiful book-perhaps a bit heavy on "people" and less on the physical beauty of the country.
