Book Club Tour (Notes on Bookstore Scenery) I remember an article saying: In the face of natural landscape, human nature is insignificant. This feeling was touched again when I watched Scenery of Book City. Bookstore is a microcosm of the sea of books, with knowledge as the wall and full of humanistic atmosphere, which makes every devout reader humble and powerless. I remember an article mentioned that human nature is insignificant in front of the natural landscape. This feeling was touched again when I watched Scenery of Book City. Bookstore is a microcosm of the sea of books, with knowledge as the wall and full of humanistic atmosphere, which makes every devout reader humble and powerless. The author is Zhong Fangling, a female writer. Her work and interests are reading, editing, trading, collecting books, teaching and writing books. I have visited bookstores all over the world for a long time, just as the author himself introduced: my trip finally evolved into reading and buying books, with art galleries, museums, famous mountains and rivers and other landscapes as a foil. This experience is enough for every book lover to envy, and it is undoubtedly a very meaningful and interesting thing to appreciate bookstores with different cultural backgrounds and different customs. Readers who have seen "Electronic Love Letter" starring Tom Hanks must still have the impression that when the chain stores in Europe and America are developing rapidly, the impact of large chain bookstores on traditional independent bookstores is enormous. In order to survive, independent bookstores have to face new problems in terms of price, facilities and management, and have to re-find their own market positioning and find their own operating characteristics. The operating characteristics of independent bookstores are very important. "Bookstore Landscape" introduces many characteristic bookstores collected by the author from all over the world. The book divides these bookstores into three categories: first, landmark bookstores. Bookstore has become a landmark of a city, and obviously it has a high reputation. Even general travel books should be specially introduced. This book introduces five such bookstores: Shakespeare Bookstore in Paris, city lights bookstore in San Francisco, Gotham Bookstore in new york, Chuande Bookstore in new york, and the fifth one is Bode Bookstore in downtown Philadelphia, the most distinctive chain bookstore in the United States. The book wrote: "Probably no other bookstore is more diligent and hospitable than Bode. At 7 o'clock every morning, BODE opens its doors, which makes thick books and coffee attract many book lovers. Therefore, many office workers move their breakfast from their kitchen to the coffee bar by the window on the second floor, start their day with a simple breakfast and the British and American book reviews provided in the store, or do nothing, just quietly clear their minds and observe life. " "After nightfall, the business district in the United States usually falls into a dead silence, and people leave after work. Most shops have closed after six or seven o'clock, while Bode Bookstore continues to serve customers with brightly lit storefronts until ten o'clock. Many book lovers or lonely people who have nowhere to go have a place to stay until the last moment. " "‘Bode' has become a new stronghold in Philadelphia, not only because it is brightly lit, but also because there is a generally peaceful and pleasant atmosphere floating in the store, which firmly grasps the steps of customers. In the spacious space (about 400 square meters), in the clean furnishings, there are comfortable tables and chairs everywhere, and anyone can sit there and read comfortably. The clerk who loves books and knows books serves customers warmly and provides all kinds of advice and help, saving customers the trouble of finding books and ordering. " "There is no gorgeous and exquisite facade, no unattainable and daunting gesture, and' winning' completely conveys the scholarly spirit of the original book. "This bookstore has a profound cultural heritage. Bookstore is not only a place to buy and sell books, but also full of long history and stories. For example, in Shakespeare's Bookstore in Paris, Monina, the owner of the early bookstore, met many people in the literary and art circles. After World War I, celebrities such as Picasso, Duncan, Joyce, Hemingway and Ponte gathered here to talk, borrow or publish new works. Even Joyce's masterpiece Ulysses was bravely republished by this Shakespeare bookstore after it was banned in the magazine. It was published only because of the owner's worship of Joyce, so the bookstore was once closed by Naxi elements. The personal charm of operators affects the direction of bookstores and even everything. I think this can be counted as the "character" that the operator instilled in the bookstore. Two: theme bookstore. As the name implies, "theme" has distinct characteristics. In this kind of bookstores, the author introduced various bookstores including diet, tourism, women's rights, writers, souls, DIY, dogs, mystery novels and so on. Regarding food, for example, the Hamas Food Bookstore in Frankfurt, Germany, stepped into this bookstore, as if it were a mixed space of study and kitchen, with a wooden dining table in the middle, a big oven next to it and a bar area behind it, but there were no pots and pans, and various illustrated recipes were displayed on the dining table and oven. London's "Chef Bookstore" has become a frequent place for chefs, gourmets and food critics, where you can not only exchange ideas, but also draw inspiration from books. If food represents material aspects and books are symbols of spirit, the Chef's Bookstore undoubtedly combines the two skillfully. The "Cooking Bookstore" in Philadelphia, USA, is located between the vegetable market and the food store. People who come here to buy books are not necessarily for cooking, because there are many illustrated and beautifully printed cookbooks, so some people take collecting such books as fun. In addition, cookbooks are also very popular with ordinary American families as gift books. No wonder American publishers dare to publish an average of seven or eight hundred cookbooks a year with amazing handwriting. Some salespeople in cooking bookstores actually dress up as chefs, which makes them very funny. This kind of bookstore is dazzling and colorful. The bookstore industry here is thriving, and different themes and different emphases are all the ideas of the owner. Among many introductions, there is such a place: the intersection of literature and human nature-Glenn Allen's Jack London Bookstore. This bookstore is located next to the former residence of the great writer Jack London. The writer's daughter once lived here, and the bookstore owner also collected many books and souvenirs of Jack London.
