 If you only buy two books on Korea, this is the second March 8, 2005

Or, if you are in a hurry, and can't wade through the thick Moon guide (my choice for #1), get this one.
The cultural notes are invaluable for those who would actually like to understand the people they are visiting, the culture the are seeing, etc.
I am in South Korea right now teaching English, and consult this book often.
Solid job, just not spectacular July 29, 2004

Took this freshly minted book with me to Korea in June. It services all the main sights well, but there's a general lack of humor and real gritty insight throughout. For example, the Seoul chapter is a perfunctory list of sights, then a list of accomodation, then eating places, etc. etc. Much listing is to be found.
Very different from the main part of the book are the informative chapters on culture and history. These chapters, particularly the one about the North, are fascinating and very well done. Read the history sections for great context.
All in all, this will get you through korea. But once there, utilize tourist information and any locals willing to give you a hand. And hold on to those subway tickets!!!
