Right now, the paperbacks for the Canvas Series are only available in POD (print-on-demand) version. The official copies for the workbooks are still on their way to Amazon hubs from Korea. It should be fully stocked around January, and I’ll update the links here.
For the differences between the official copy and POD, please check the FAQs below! (The content is exactly the same, so there’s no disadvantage in using the POD version of the book.)
2. Domestic
(International shipping is also available through Korean bookstores. Since book prices in Korea are generally lower, even with international shipping fees, the total cost usually isn’t dramatically different from ordering through Amazon.)
1) Offline
You can find my books at major bookstore chains in Korea, such as 교보문고 (Kyobo Book Centre), 영풍문고 (Youngpoong Bookstore) or 알라딘 (Aladdin.)
Since stock can vary by branch, I recommend checking the inventory of the specific location before visiting. You can do this on each store’s website by typing in the book title you’re looking for and clicking 매장 재고 위치 (In-Store Availability).

Youngpoong: https://www.ypbooks.co.kr
2) Online
You can also purchase the books online through the same Kyobo and Youngpoong links above. They are also available on other online retailers such as Coupang and YES24.
If you search the book title on Naver, you’ll see all the available online sellers, so you can compare prices and choose the one that works best for you.
FAQs
Official copies are physical paperbacks printed in Korea by the publisher, Darakwon. In Korea, you can purchase them easily at the bookstores and sellers listed above. For overseas readers, the process is a bit different. Official copies are shipped by sea from Korea to Amazon’s U.S. hub, so initial stocking takes time.
If Amazon runs out of stock, the publisher must ship new inventory again, which can lead to temporary unavailability. In addition, Amazon may not deliver official copies to certain countries. To make the books more accessible internationally, the publisher also released Print-On-Demand (POD) versions. With POD, Amazon prints and binds the book when you place an order through Amazon KDP.
The content is exactly the same, but some physical details differ. For example, official paperbacks have front and back flaps, while POD versions do not. For the workbooks, official copies are printed in color, whereas POD versions are printed in black and white. (Other POD books are printed in color.)
Since the content is identical, there’s absolutely no disadvantage to using the POD version!
You can tell by checking “Product Details” section.
1) POD has the ASIN number, while the official copy has the ISBN 10 Number.
2) You can also check the “Publisher” information on the details. For POD versions, it usually says “Amazon” or “Independently Published.” For the official copies, it will say “Darakwon” as the publisher.
Yes! Both the eBook and paperbacks can be purchased from various international Amazon sites 🙂
