Because a simple and unremarkable name implies a tough attitude, I firmly remembered this bookstore a long time ago. There is an attitude that books are affordable. For Hong Kong people, "learning" and "losing" are actually not a good idea. Few people send books because no one wants to "lose". "Can't afford to lose, be patient and be strong" is the complete mentality of Hong Kong people after 1997. Therefore, starting from a colloquial public opinion, it is often the practice of Hong Kong people with local feelings to put their attitudes into the cultural space simply and cleanly.

Because many shops in Hong Kong are hidden in the floors between buildings, it is necessary to have a sense of endurance to find a bookstore. Moreover, "affordable" is not a place that can be seen at a glance along the street. The first time I sincerely looked for it, I drifted downstairs several times. I looked up and couldn't see any bookstore signs, thinking that the death penalty had been declared non-existent, and I was disappointed. At that time, I was still a stranger to this city. I didn't know that as long as I went upstairs with my heart and turned the cold corridor, I would find huge scenery. So I went back later, relieved all my strength, and found her in that simple building.

Many cities actually lack such interested bookstores.

Say it's intentional. Take it personally. Actually speaking, such a bookstore will attract many city people. Then her heart has also been fully responded. So I have to talk about Joey, the owner of Parity Book. Because he is also an architect, when planning this bookstore, he has a distinctive style and sells the design spirit of books and magazines. As many people know, Joey is from Singapore. A Singaporean who likes Hong Kong very much often travels between Hong Kong and Singapore. He finds that there is a lack of a multifunctional bookstore in Hong Kong, and there are many kinds of books, so he makes "cheap books" in Hong Kong. Besides, Joey is quite familiar with the local Barschel Design Bookstore. Hong Kong's "book affordability" means borrowing Barschel's extensive book acquisition network all over Europe, and cooperation will also benefit urban people. In Affordable, you will often see the latest or valuable design books, cultural books and art books, some visual magazines, some architectural reference books, some cartoons and some graphic books. In fact, they are all endless books. Even LOMO camera, a trendy product, is an "affordable" sales role.

As for design books, you will often see treasures that you can't find for a long time, and it will be easy to see when you can afford them. For example, the design features of EAMES include all its design, architecture, space, products, furniture and so on. For example, TIN TIN THE COMPLETE CAMPANION, a very rare book, compares some scenes of Tintin cartoons with real photos.

Second, the first page bookstore

Address:

Shop LG 1 30, Festival Square, No.80 Dazhi Road, Kowloon Tong;

2/F, Dejiri Street1-13rd Century Plaza, Central;

Basement of Times Square 1 Building, Matheson Street, Causeway Bay;

No.3002, Harbour City, Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui.

The first page created a legend for Hong Kong book lovers. When PAGE ONE first appeared, it brought people a brand-new bookstore concept, spacious bookstore space, and various cultural and artistic books were displayed. People think that bookstores can "sigh" slowly like cafes. As a result, bookstores began to become the "general point" of young people, which was more or less created by PAGE ONE.

Just like when you talk about bookstores in Taipei, you naturally think of "Eslite" and "Monsoon" in Shanghai. In Hong Kong, when it comes to the size of a book, you have to mention the first page. Opening in a big commercial city is the consistent style of the home page. The early PAGE ONE mainly focused on design books, and later more different kinds of books and magazines were introduced, which fully entered the spiritual corner and thinking field. In this way, readers' customer level is naturally wider, and their love for bookstores is also heating up. The whole space is domineering, and at first glance, it is endless. The first page of Times Square is an independent shop selling books and magazines. Harbour city branch is like a long maze, which turns several times from beginning to end, thinking that it is lost in the gap of books. There is a special coffee shop in the holiday stroll branch, and the coffee is intoxicating with a book fragrance.

There are all kinds of books and magazines in the spacious storefront. The heroism of The First Page is reflected in her various books and magazines, mainly in foreign languages, such as Fantasist, i-D, Things and so on. Needless to say, the book can cover everything even if it is said too much. Besides books and magazines, you can also find some pleasant things. LOMO camera is also a role here, as well as cultural and entertainment peripheral products, such as movie toys, such as design products promoted by books. One thing is certain, if you come here to look for books with a sunny cultural dream, you will not be disappointed.

Third, Chen Chong Bookstore.

Address:

Tsim Sha Tsui Ledao 13- 15

Telephone:

00852-2366 800 1

Perhaps not many people know the "age" of Chen Chong Bookstore, which has a history of 85 years. Tsim Sha Tsui Ledao Head Office alone has a history of more than 40 years and is one of the oldest bookstores in Hong Kong. However, Chen Chong can say that the old books in the store are not old, except that the main store was renovated before 2000, and the books sold in it are all advancing with the times. In addition to Chen Chong's strengths-art and design books, other professional books are even more powerful, including economics, finance, law, medicine, history, music and so on. Are holy places for college students and professionals to find books.

Fourth, Gengsheng Bookstore

Address:

40 Lockhart Road 1-403 Ronghua Commercial Building1Building

Telephone:

00852-259 1 1068

It has witnessed the changes in the design industry in Hong Kong. In the 1960s and 1970s, local brands in Hong Kong began to attach importance to image packaging, and the demand for related design books and tools increased accordingly. Qingsheng seized the opportunity to supply design stationery and books to provide support and the latest information for the local design industry. Times have changed. With the development of science and technology, the design work tends to be computerized. What designers need most now is fast new information. There are also more books on design, and literature and art have become a small part. However, Jingsheng is still a rare shop in Hong Kong that supplies design tools and books at the same time.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Zhiyuan Bookstore

Address: Block A, 2nd Floor, Li Yong Building, No.27-33 kimberley road, Tsim Sha Tsui.

Tel: 00852-2367 8482

It has been 40 years since its opening, and moved from Central to Tsim Sha Tsui. This is an old Japanese book. From early Chinese and foreign Japanese documents to Japanese books, he became a leader in the industry. Walking into Zhiyuan's Japanese bookstore, if a pebble falls into the sea, there are countless books. I'm surprised at the variety of books in the store, especially magazines with personal hobbies. A hobby has dozens of different books and periodicals to choose from, and the price is often cheaper than that of Japanese department stores.

Sixth, Kubrick Bookstore.

Address: H2 Floor, Junfa Garden, No.3 Zhong Fang Street, Yau Ma Tei (Broadway Film Center side)

Tel: 00852-2384 8929

I overheard that a new movie bookstore appeared, and her name was the name of a director. At some point, Kubrick thought they were all broken down like clockwork orange, or scared like sharping. And when I really went, I abandoned all original analysis and became a movie bookworm seriously. Don't fantasize too much, expect too much, and you will feel at ease when you arrive.

About Kubrick Bookstore, perhaps a few words can fully describe her characteristics. I just can't bear to meet my favorite bookstore every time I set foot in Hong Kong and start planning to buy it. I must tell you everything I know about her.

Kubrick is estimated to be the only bookstore on the ground among many bookstores on the second floor (or on the third and fourth floors), and the Broadway Film Center is nearby. Film bookstores and cinemas work closely together. It is a very happy process to buy books after watching movies and go to the movies after buying books.

Kubrick's name naturally comes from movie master. The indoor space is like a cafe, a wooden floor, dim lights, a black bookshelf, a faint coffee smell, and the visual taste has a general intersection. In addition to the cultural spirit of selling movies, Kubrick also planned and organized a series of artists' residency plans, invited Chen Hui, Ouyang Ying Ji and local independent cartoonists to hold small book exhibitions, lectures and workshops, and once invited at 17 to hold a concert, and demonstrated an impromptu performance for one person in a theater. A great cultural distribution center was born in this way, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

Like Kubrick's books, there are rare things that can't be bought outside, and the types of books are concentrated, which is a treasure house for people who like movies. Moreover, it is completely casual, without the solemn atmosphere of the library. If you are tired of standing, just sit on the rough sofa and read. If you are tired of reading, cheer up and take time to have a cup of coffee and a snack.

Maybe Kubrick shouldn't be called a bookstore, even though strangers always come to buy books. There are really no clear boundaries. Movies with books and diet, this combination is not a grocery store, let's call it Kubrick. This is a Kubrick shop.

Seven, Hongye Bookstore

Address: Floor 2, No.51-52 Haiphong Road, Tsim Sha Tsui;

2/F, No.61Sai Yeung Choi Street, Mong Kok;

Block B, 2nd floor, 30-34 Glen Street, Central;

Attic, No.5 Sadong Street, Causeway Bay.

There is always a time when the bustling crowd loves material and charm when walking in the center of a commercial street. Finally, a few hours later, Superman also had a moment of fatigue and needed some kind of spiritual comfort to slow down his mood. So he walked a few steps to meet the bookstore on the second floor, walked through the narrow stairs and pushed open the glass door, which was quiet and comfortable and smooth. Then walk around lightly, choose a favorite book and find a quiet seat to sit down, just like enjoying a person's movie, without noise. This bookstore is Hongye.

The environment is simple, there is not much artificial decoration, just ordinary walls, ordinary bookshelves, ordinary floors and ordinary incandescent lamps. There are newspaper clippings and book reviews on the wall posts, and there is a rest seat by the window, like flowers in other people's homes, which are completely plain and tasteful.

If the first page is a big family and Hongye is a civilian family, it presents the same thing, all books. There are always some accidents when looking for books in Hongye Bookstore. This kind of accident is happy.

There will probably be such people who break into Hongye Bookstore and look around, expecting a book they have been looking for for for a long time, perhaps a translated novel, perhaps an expired local creation, or a movie book that has been collected for a long time, then browse one by one and finally find it in an inconspicuous position. I didn't shout happily, but secretly held the book with joy.

This is the happiness that Hongye Bookstore brings you.

In addition to Taiwan Province books exclusively sold by bookstores, there are also literature, history, philosophy, design and entertainment. You will also encounter old books worth collecting, such as Haruki Murakami's early series and the distant "cinema" series. The biggest featured books should be those published by some small publishing houses introduced by Ye Hong. Moreover, in order to do better, the boss often travels between Hong Kong and Taiwan, making his own choices and giving readers more choices.

Hongye Bookstore is also the first bookstore on the second floor that pays attention to the space design and environment of the bookstore. A small space creates infinite comfort. You can do nothing, read books, love the light outside the window, or just drink coffee and get bored.

Eight, activate the spacecraft

Address: G33, G/F, Prince Union Square

Tel: 00852-2882 8482

Cosmodrome is a bookstore with a lot of content, which is suitable for many young people in Hong Kong. This is a happy place when they study. It has a history of 10 years. Starting with toy models, collecting Japanese comics, opening branches one by one, and involving Japanese magazines and books, it somewhat reflects the infiltration of Japanese culture into Hong Kong. The publishing speed of this magazine is almost synchronous with that of Japan, and it is a must-see bookstore for fashionable young people.

Nine, Shangshufang

Address: 63 Xiyangcai South Street, Mong Kok 1 F.

Tel: 00852-2395 6228

Originally a bookstore specializing in mainland computer books, it has found a new way to operate different kinds of mainland books and achieved remarkable results. Last year, it opened a bookstore to sell mainland books in an all-round way.

Ten, the European French book company.

Address: 2nd floor, Duke of Wellington Building, Wellington Street 14, Central.

Tel: 00852-2526 92 15

Europeans like books very much. France, a big European cultural country, is a kingdom of knowledge. Because the owner Madeline N. Progin likes books, he started to run this bookstore with a feeling of being completely "at home". A comfortable sofa at the door brings comfort, followed by a small coffee cart, and the room with wooden floors is full of books. There are a large number of French cartoons in the bookstore, such as Tintin, Ikey bilal, Mobius and so on.
