Reflections on May Heaven Be Like a Bookstore (1): Strong Guangzhou flavor

This book is very Guangzhou.

This paper introduces the independent bookstores in Guangzhou; The writer is in Guangzhou; Even the publishing house is a publishing house in Guangzhou.

Many people say that Guangzhou is a cultural desert, but Guangzhou people are smart and only care about "eating". However, as Zhang Xing, the executive director of pioneer bookstore, said, there is a bookstore in any city, and behind the bookstore is the story of this city. Guangzhou has not only the Guangzhou Book Center, the first book city in China, but also these independent bookstores, large and small, each with its own charm. How can such a city be a cultural desert?

When I was studying in China Normal University, I often went around in my spare time because I was located in the new center of Guangzhou with convenient transportation. There are 16 independent bookstores introduced in this book, and several of them were frequented by me in college. Even on the first date with my boyfriend, I took him around Guangzhou, and went to Haotian Bookstore, a bookstore with great personality from the storefront, books sold and shopkeepers.

I am very grateful to have such a group of idealists, with the immortal spirit and feelings of physical books and bookstores, who have been persisting.

If there is a paradise, it must be like a bookstore.

I wish heaven were like a bookstore (2) Comments: Personal evaluation: 7 1. There are fewer and fewer bookstores that mainly sell books. If you want to continue, you can only choose to compromise and do some other business.

Book Review: The feeling gained through the author's book is similar to the original point of view of the bookstore. There are fewer and fewer bookstores that mainly sell books. To continue doing this, we can only choose to compromise and do some other business.

Times are changing, bookstores need to change, and the original simple book selling service and operation mode also need to be adjusted.

The title of the book is actually to commemorate the death of the owner of Red Maple Leaf Bookstore after cerebral hemorrhage.

Book structure: the author's comments on more than a dozen independent bookstores in Guangzhou

What does this book say: 1200bookshop, a 24-hour bookstore opened by a boss who travels all over Taiwan Province, has raised10000000 yuan in a week, but many people still think that bookstores are necessary.

Xueyouyou Bookstore, which had more than 30 stores at its peak, was also hit by online book sales, leaving only six stores. Is there really no way out?

Borges Bookstore, Time Against Fashion. It's also difficult to operate. The clerk is a relative.

Fangfang Bookstore, a collection bookstore, a diversified bookstore for aesthetic life, coffee, exhibition space and fashion clothes. Some executives have also worked in Eslite Bookstore for many years. Selling literature and art is also a form of bookstore.

Hotan, a women's bookstore founded by Jiunv, should have a certain market, after all, it is relatively small.

The second-hand bookstore is only one square meter, Peter Cat.

The boss insists on running Haotian Bookstore in his own way. Personally, I think it still needs to be changed. The same is laziness rather than persistence.

Random thoughts on "May heaven be like a bookstore" (3): I am also eager to own my own bookstore.

I visited 16 bookstores mentioned in this book yesterday. Most stores are on foot, from the first bookstore in 1200 to the last bookstore in Tianhe north store on May 4/6 1200.

I remember the original intention of going to the bookstore because the sports center in the company is close. Once, I wandered around after work and stumbled upon this hidden 24-hour bookstore. Later, I went to the bookstore several times and decided to take a trip to the bookstore after seeing the books bought in the bookstore. Starting from this bookstore, I walked for about half a year and went shopping on weekends.

Four of the 16 bookstores mentioned in the book have closed down. Among them, 22 bookstores didn't know they were closed until I went-this book was published less than half a year ago. The manager of Tianhe North Store, the last bookstore I went to 1200 Bookstore, is actually the same person as the author of this book. I remember asking my aunt at the former site of South China University of Technology that the restaurant next door was closed because of poor management. Let me help her tell her that she missed the dog baby in the store. Yesterday, after she went to Tianhe North Store, she did see the puppy-it seems to be called latte (just like my nickname).

How do you feel after shopping?

It seems that I have traveled more than half of Guangzhou and experienced many characteristics of Guangzhou. It feels good to think about it.

Maybe it has something to do with the time I visited, but this 16 bookstore is still frequented by many people: Fang, Liang 1200bookshop, Scholarly and Excellent Bookstore, United Bookstore, and I went to Red Bookstore, Borges and Hotan alone.

Perhaps the most impressive thing is the Red Bookstore. It took me more than half an afternoon to walk from Tianhe Yuancun to Haizhu Jiangnan Avenue that weekend, and my legs were already sore. Luckily, I met the manager. Chatting and chatting, I realized that the bookstore will only open at around 4 or 5 pm, so I can feel God's blessing-although my legs are almost sore. It was also in this shop that I saw the attitude of the old Guangzhou people.

Now I think that I don't read much, but I still feel that my reading time is quite private-16 Most bookstores have bought books, but I didn't sit down and read a book in any of them when I visited. I don't know if it's because I had a purpose factor when I visited. The only time I stayed up late reading Sister Na's autobiography when I visited 1200.

It may be that I am not used to the crowds in the bookstore, or that the privacy of the space is not enough, or that the essence of survival is related to my own mentality-think about sitting on a bench in the school library and being able to read by myself. Now it seems that I do tend to hide at home and read books in bed and read e-books on the bus and subway.

It is true that it is a contradictory reading state now, but gradually I will hold a more eager attitude towards reading.

Through this 16 bookstore, Guangzhou's character seems to emerge slowly: this is a city with strong humanistic feelings. Through this book, an ordinary passerby consumer has a more awe-inspiring attitude towards these bookstores. In any case, there are always people who insist on doing what they want and don't compromise with reality. And some people can be smart enough to shake hands with reality and reach some kind of agreement.

A glimpse of Guangzhou 16 independent bookstore

Reflections on May Heaven Be Like a Bookstore (4): An Out-of-date Bookstore

There is a group of Guangzhou bookstores on Douban, and they have an appointment to visit the bookstores together. When I knew this group and looked at the date when it was founded three years ago, I didn't have the courage to ask if they were still there.

Expired information, expired address, expired bookstore.

When I first came to Guangzhou, I started my bookstore trip by relying on the patchwork information on the Internet. I either can't find my way or fan the air. The farthest time, I followed the wrong map to find Downing Bookstore at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, and went to an old "Art Valley" converted open-air parking lot to ask if there was a bookstore near Baoan. He said he didn't know. Do you want to go further? I walked until I was stopped by barbed wire and weeds at the end of the road and finally gave up. Later, through the winding underground street, I found Downing Bookstore in Tianhe Back Street. They told me it was the only thing left. As for once, there was probably one on Hua Le Road in Yuexiu.

At Downing Bookstore, I emptied my wallet and bought a set of postcards from an independent bookstore, 100, produced by Bee Bookstore. Two years have passed, and I don't know whether the bookstore above still exists or how much it has disappeared. But I know that 22bookshop announced its closure more than a month ago, and this newly transformed bookstore failed to survive this year.

1200 bookshop sent a tweet about the closure of this Wushan branch, and my friend immediately transferred it to me. I was speechless for a while. He said it seemed sad to see his classmates sharing, but I wanted to say no. Don't be so sad. Nostalgia, sympathy, sadness The closure of a bookstore seems to be an inertia, but what I read between the lines is not the end of the road, but for a better survival and a longer-term future. In the gap between alienated reading habits, discounted online bookstores and the crowded space of the nearest university library, 22bookshop once wanted to exist as a space for youth activities, but unfortunately, the room was small and remote, which could not accommodate much. I don't want to see a bookstore close down, but I don't want to see a bookstore become a bottomless pit with a deficit, killing their spirit and confidence. What's more frightening is that no one dares to open a bookstore anymore.

After the bookstore closed, the book "May Heaven Be Like a Bookstore" edited by owner Liu was published. However, in a year's time, the addresses of four independent bookstores in Guangzhou 16 recorded in this book were invalid. This is a new book, but it is out of date. But it is also solidified in the past books, in order to remember the existing calligraphers and calligraphers. The flood of information quickly swept away the news that the bookstore was closed, and it suddenly occurred to me that people who want to study will continue to play soon, and this book on the shelf of 1200bookshop will remind the temperature of those bookstores in this city: Fang highlights the pursuit of life aesthetics, and the joint bookstore is hidden in the arcade in the downtown area. Learning to be excellent is still holding a book club with conflicting ideas ... or exclusive bookstore memory: I used a second-hand book as a ticket to go to the "book market" extended from a bookshelf of Peter Cat Guben Store, looking for my favorite books in the unique taste of Borges Bookstore, trying my luck in the record pile of Red Bookstore, and talking with my boss about books and art by the way. ...

The cover of May Heaven Be Like a Bookstore is not as simple as the design of the inside pages. But there won't be a "cover bookstore" more suitable for this book than Haotian Bookstore. This 20-year-old bookstore represents the sincerity and the taste of old Guangzhou. The yellowed and curled old books are interspersed with old black and white photos, colorful calendar cards, old maps of Yangcheng and postcards. These are the years collected by Wu Hao, the old shopkeeper. He has written a business plan for 30 years, and there are ten years left. Maybe it won't be a bookstore, but it will be a miniature museum.

The bookstore name of each chapter page is their LOGO, and this little egg is very careful. The scenery in the bookstore is very pleasing to the eye, although I wonder if there will be a postcard version. The set of postcards from the independent bookstore 100 has been removed from the shelves, and the producer Bee Bookstore is like the action art in the book industry, creating new ideas. For example, at the end of September, Bee Bookstore opened a mobile bookstore with a life span of only three days. Compared with the "bookstore closed for 30 days" in Shenzhen, this "three-day bookstore" is not so much a cultural festival as a "bookstore flash". Whether you come or not, the bookstore won't always be there. Three-day tasting period, limited time and other products, expired. Actually, every bookstore is like this. Whether it is 3 days, 30 days or 360 days, every time I pass by, I just miss it.

A book coupon attached with the book reminds me that when 22bookshop just opened, some shy new shop assistants followed me specially and whispered that they could take a bookmark from the store as a souvenir.

"Welcome to read again." He said.

The story of Guangzhou Bookstore, to be continued.

The address of Guangzhou Bookstore will not expire.

Thoughts on "May heaven be like a bookstore" (5): How will bookstores survive? (brief comment)

I decided to buy this book "May Heaven Be Like a Bookstore" and another short book "Independence Day-One's Study" online because I was fascinated by the books related to the library on the display shelf when I was wandering around the independent bookstore "Fang". These books are expensive and often accompanied by beautiful pictures, just like the study in my dream. Because I am satisfied with the binding and pictures, I want to collect them. It seems that if you buy these books, you can decorate your home into a bookstore or library.

Owners of independent bookstores often appreciate each other. They are idealists. When they were young, they struggled in the wave of the electronic world for the dream of bookstores. While earning market share from online bookstores, they struggle with economic reality. The value of independent bookstores is that they don't have to ask for help in everything like Xinhua Bookstore and book shopping center, which saves unnecessary rules and regulations and avoids the risk of confusing fish with pearls. Independent bookstores often have obvious characteristics, either academic or design, and often include the personality and preferences of bookstore owners.

The book "May Heaven Be Like a Bookstore" may be more suitable for reading in an independent bookstore or buying a collection. This is the voice of independent bookstores uniting to introduce a more real and clear world to the world. But because most of the stories in bookstores are similar, you can choose one or two books of the same kind whether you are reading or collecting such books. If you have experience, you can draw a map like an online celebrity, and visiting a bookstore is also a good choice.

I like bookstores in the city very much. It seems that you can find the shadow of an idealist in the bookstore, which is a rare place to be alone in the busy city and the difficulty of learning. However, books are different from ordinary commodities. The price of a book has been printed on the back of it since its birth. Books are sent from publishing houses to all parts of the world at the same price, which is completely different from the price elasticity of clothing and daily necessities, resulting in independent bookstores being in a very unfavorable position in the price war compared with online bookstores.

The difference between the marked price of this book and the online sales price is visible, which seems to draw a red line in front of potential buyers. A person who goes to a physical store to buy books just for the sake of "petty bourgeoisie literary youth" is like a donkey. Most of those who can support physical stores with the price difference of 30% to 40% are ideal families with no worries. Therefore, it may be annoying for young people to "consult" their favorite books in bookstores and instead search online, but it is by no means evil and cunning. On the contrary, perhaps we can judge that not only because of the high rent and book price of physical stores, but also because of the high pricing of publishing industry, people who visit bookstores are "discouraged" from books. In this contrast, Amazon's performance in foreign physical bookstores is outstanding-the price of books in Amazon's physical bookstores is the same as that on Amazon's website. It is naturally smart and reassuring to provide readers with a QR code scanned into Amazon's bookstore, but only a big company like Amazon can do it.

In the future physical bookstores, I think there will be more bookstores similar to Amazon's physical bookstores when it is predicted that the publishing industry will not let go of book prices; Secondly, with the improvement of the public's aesthetic level and people's desire for spiritual pursuit, there will be more people who are both shopkeepers and bookstore owners, who will drive more free and powerful independent bookstores and will not close down because of the difficulty in paying the store fees; Of course, in order to maintain a normal life, bookstores will have greater innovation and integration on the basis of tradition. Then, with the development of culture and the survival of the fittest in the printing industry, traditional excellent publishing houses and publishing houses with independent characteristics recognized by a few people will appear in the hearts of the public. These publishing houses can assume the role of "bookstores" and win readers, buyers and collectors with word of mouth.

The comprehensive physical bookstore will not disappear, or the physical bookstore will further cooperate with the library. They play the role of reading room and library, and have additional functions. Reading room is not only a place where people look for bookstores and libraries in the city to live their souls, but also a developed "city bookstore"; Collection of books is because the comprehensive bookstore receives books from various publishing houses, which is like a book gathering, from which people can learn about the unknown; Additional functions, such as coffee shop, exhibition hall, salon, open class, etc.

Physical stores and online stores have their own advantages and disadvantages in searching and collecting books. Online bookstores are often limited to their inventory. At present, even well-known brands like Dangdang and JD.COM are often out of stock. Moreover, online bookstores can't see antique bookshelves, their books can't get the weight of agarwood, typesetting and font size, and browsing is not as good as preface and postscript. If they are looking for academic books, the best-selling and gimmicky data network has no power of a physical bookstore (for example, Wenjinge, a bookstore that once appeared next to Zhong Da in Haizhu District, is one of its original intentions. The advantage of buying books online is that it can save money and time when the goal is clear or the book list is ready. The situation in physical bookstores is the opposite.
