Reading Up

So, I did some research today at the local library (though they were terribly limited) on South Korea traveling. Luckily most of the books I found were published (at least) in the 2000's. Some of them were edited and republished, but the majority are still about 5 years old. Normally that wouldn't bother me, because culture doesn't change uber dramatically in half a decade, but I'd still feel more comfortable with a more recent book.

I did just get through reading/skimming through the book "Living in South Korea"



It's a thin little thing, but it's full of useful information that doubtably will become outdated anytime in the near future. It seems like a great book to carry around for reference. The book also contains some beginning language tips, as well as a couple of hints about local dialects. I'll be ordering another book soon, hopefully one that's a little more detailed.

Anyone have any travel book suggestions? Most of you won't have been looking for traveling books on Korea, but any suggestions on a publishing company that deals in traveling books?
