Seoul Book of Everything

Seoul Book of Everything

The Seoul Book of Everything is now available for purchase. I served as editor and contributor on this volume which was commissioned by the Seoul Tourism Organization, and written by a team of Seoul-based writers. Korea is an endlessly fascinating place, and I learned a tremendous amount working on the book. Seoul Book of Everything's format is similar to that of MacIntyre Purcell's other "101" and "Book of Everything" titles. It is ideal for Seoul novices, as well as for non-Koreans who call the city home. The Seoul Book of Everything is available from Amazon and other on-line retailers.

From historic royal palaces, ancient city gates, and Korean traditional houses (hanok), to all-night markets, N Seoul Tower and the club scene, no city combines the ancient and the contemporary quite like Seoul.

Local experts weigh in on one of the world's leading cities. A comedian details the five things you must bring to Korea, a local food writer picks five favorite restaurants, an economist explains "the miracle on the Han River," the director of the National Museum of Korea highlights cultural treasures, and a prominent meteorologist provides the low-down on Seoul's climate. You'll also find insider takes on mountains, ghosts, Korean film, tea houses, traditional performances, night spots, cooking, essential reads, Buddhist shrines and Seoul's amazing post-War evolution.

From the DMZ as a buffer zone between North and South Korea, to the Cheonggyecheon Stream, the Han River, and Olympic and World Cup stadiums to navigating local dining, linguistic and cultural practices, the Seoul Book of Everything has got you covered. The Book of Everything captures the essence of this futuristic metropolis that has served as Korea's capital for over 600 years. From famous neighborhoods and cutting-edge design to museums, pop culture, traditional music, green spaces, sports, festivals and shopping, it's all here.
