For Korean books, we use a bookstore in downtown Los Angeles called Joy
Book & Church Supplies, Inc. Since we are in the LA area, the assigned
librarian and our Korean cataloger (since she obviously speaks and reads
Korean) go to the bookstore to select the books. Before they leave, they
print out lists of what we currently have to limit duplicate selection. The
bookstore sends an invoice. The subject area of the books that they sell is
mainly theology, biblical studies, church history, etc.
