This is designed more as a dip in book, but I was on a long haul flight (to Korea!) and couldn't sleep and so, having started it at home in a leisurely manner, proceeded to demolish it in a sitting.

Well set out, with phonetic pronounciation and a section at the end of each chapter which gives you hints and advice about Korean culture, do's and don'ts etc and practical information as to how to find your way around things.
