QUERY> Buddhology Bookstores in Seoul?

Dear Colleagues,
I will shortly be travelling to Seoul, South Korea. Can any colleagues recommend any bookstores stocking a solid collection of Buddhist or Indological academic titles in Seoul?
Any helpful pointers would be gratefully received.
Kind regards,

Re: QUERY> Buddhology Bookstores in Seoul?

Dear Antonio,
The largest Buddhist bookstore that I know of in Seoul is the Unju-sa bookstore. It is also a publishing house, but they have a large bookstore in the first underground floor. Of course, the vast majority of the books are written in Korean. If you want to try to pick up used Western books on Buddhism, the bookstores around Jogyesa in the middle of the downtown area often have interesting things. The Jogyesa bookstore itself is also fairly large.
