The Presence of Used Bookstores A disappearing secondhand bookstore, where old books are gathered in one place. Traces of the previous owners engraved on the book and brief beliefs of the owners of used bookstores stand on the bookshelf. Secondhand books reborn. You can also have time to look at books and donations recommended by celebrities of the times. Moreover, as you read, you may feel a sudden happiness in the traces of the past. Cool is a bonus. - A living secondhand bookstore,📔 - The original of this place is a secondhand bookstore. Books from second-hand bookstores in downtown Seoul are collected here. So, on the shelves here, you can see where the used bookstore came from rather than the numbers and letters on the books. They are also organized by genre, but among the many bookshelves, what I found interesting is the story of Seorim Dong. My heart was already touched by the first sentence of the owner, who said, 'I have been caring for the space for 50 years'. His second sentence, 'I feel sorry for the used bookstores that are not as active as they used to be', showed what kind of place this space was. The last words of the rhyme saying, 'I hope that many people will remember the precious memories that I gave to used books' showed the value he has kept for 50 years. - The knowledge and wisdom of the times they had been protecting almost disappeared as capital flowed quickly and busily. The Seoul Metropolitan Government has gathered the treasures of that era in one place, and in the hopes that the value will be revived in this space, several programs have been put together. - Books of celebrities who are said to be representatives of the times are donated here. You can get a glimpse of their thoughts through those books. Also, the used books here are not stuffed here. They sell and buy, and put the books that will become the legacy of this time again. Here, the values of the times are continuously communicated with society and accumulated organically. The reason why this long tunnel-like space is reminiscent of a winery is the expectation that these old books may grow in value as they ripen. - Here, the values of that era are piled up and integrated. Thousands of people have already come, listening to books that change every day, and building their own stories. not normal The knowledge and wisdom of this place are as valuable as the capital of modern society. - I'm sure many of you are aware of this, but why don't you stop by this season, which is perfect for reading? Let me tell you a little bit about my thoughts. - This is #Seoul Book Bogo, where the spirit of the times is accumulated. - Location _ 14, Sincheon-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul - Parking available - Hours of operation _ Weekdays 11-20, Weekends 10-20, Closed on Mondays - PS. There is also a small cafe. Please note that there is no inconvenience in using the space. Architechu
