Well i will be in Tokyo in 2 days, so i think my question is resonable. And the question was not about learning Korean but about buying english books in Japan and id prefer a real book. I tried a Japanese learning Programm on the PC and hardly didnt use it, so i think a book is better especially because im travelling alot at the moment and i can easily read a book anywhere (train,....) wich might be more difficult with the PC.

I recently found that amazon Japan has an English version! Here's your book:
Amazon.co.jp： Lonely Planet Korea: Martin Robinson, Ray Bartlett, Rob Whyte: 洋書

you may get it from "bookoff" if you are lucky enough...sound not a unusual book
though...
or,you can just print it out...what I usually did in my college...

You can also try Maruzen in Marunouchi (right across the street from Tokyo station). This store has the largest selection of foreign language books I've found in Tokyo

The next best place to try is the Book Off store in Meguro. It is within walking distance of Meguro station, and it is where I buy most of my books. The B1 level is make up almost entirely of foreign language books, and the prices are dirt cheap. It is also a good place to find cds, dvds, and video game software.
