Looks like a pretty old article. Zoran Mutabzija was European Go Champion back in the dawns of time.

During the 2001 conference, I purchased some 30 (not 60) books (some 20 at Kyobobooks, ca. 8 in another bookstore, ca. 1 at the Hankuk Kiwon, i.e., if you read elsewhere in a report by the Australian participant that I had had bought many at the Hankuk Kiwon, it is another wrong information) and got one or two and a clock as present. Packing all the books into my rucksack was a really tough exercise; I spent 4 hours during the last night to pack it and had to leave a couple of minor other things in Korea in order to get all those books and my clothes into the big rucksack:) I do not recall whether I rejected a pamphlet, but it would fit the pattern of my packing problem perfectly. BTW, I had roughly planned the book purchases already before the travel, estimating the expected weight per book (by measuring samples) and so ensuring not to pay for excess weight in the plane.
