Does anyone know of well-known Romances with Korean editions? Also, if possible, links to Web pages featuring the Korean covers?

I know that Julia Quinn has been translated into Korean, but I don't know about anyone else. (Okay, they don't have to be really well known . . .)

Thanks!

The Harliquin lines have been translated for a quite a long time (probably at least 10 years; I remember them back in my junior high days). I remember their covers quite simple and with small, pretty watercolour illustrations on the center in the print size a bit bigger than a postcard. Other romances tend to be printed as regular genre fiction, usually with abstract cover designs unless it's a movie tie-in. Lacy half-naked men covers would be nearly impossible to find in Korean bookstores. Several days ago I handed a copy of Loretta Chase's Lord of Scoundrels (old cover, of course) to my girlfriend and she blushed, saying she won't have a nerve to read them in the subway

I can do a bit of search of book covers on Korean online bookstores (such as Kyobo or Bandi) if you want to see certain authours are translated.

I'd appreciate that, Vellorine. Thank you!

As it happens, my very first translation, of my very first book, was in Korean -- and that's the ONLY Korean translation I've had! FWIW, it was WEDDING DAZE, my Silhouette Yours Truly from 1998 (I think the translation was maybe a year or so later).

Gaelen Foley had something out in Korean, I think - check her website.
