My book was translated into Korean. How can I buy a copy?
I wrote a book called Crafty Screenwriting. I've recently discovered that it was translated into Korean, where the title seems to be something like "Scenario: Rules for Success."
Somehow my publisher forgot to send me a copy of the Korean translation. I've pestered them to make good, but I think the translation may now be out of print.
(These guys seem to have it listed, but not available.)
I don't read Korean, and I'm mystified how to even Google the Korean title of the book. How can I get a copy of it shipped to me in Montreal? Is there an online bookstore for used books in Korean, and what is their email address?

Your book is called "시나리오 성공의 법칙." It translates, as you say, to "Scenario: Rules of Success." The page you linked to is a very large bookstore chain in Korea. I'm surprised they don't have it. I did a quick search at Gmarket, and they don't have it either. I'm not sure where else you could go to find it. A quick Google/Naver search didn't turn up anything either. Sorry!

(There are some places that have it, but you need a login ID, and that'll be difficult/impossible to do unless you're Korean)

Seems like one option would be to contact a Korean mefite and ask them to buy it for you. I actually did this for another SE Asian mefite who wanted to purchase a garment from an American manf that didn't ship overseas, so it can totally work. He sent me money, I ordered and posted it to SE Asia after it arrived.
A cursory search suggests a few Mefites currently/formerly in Korea...
Joseph Gurl is there
Bardic is a teacher in Korea right now
stavrosthewonderchicken is in the "crinkly bits" of Korea

I am currently finishing up my year in Seoul, and will be in the NE United States at the beginning of March. I'd be happy to help out with if you need a presence in the brick & mortar store, and could easily get it to you when I'm back in N. America. Shoot me a memail if I can be of any assistance.

Response by poster: The ISBN led me to The Korean Book Center, a Korean bookstore in LA.

Response by poster: Unfortunately the book is out of print, so I need to buy it used!
