This strange secondhand book shop is literally a wonderland. A maze consisting of bookshelves greets the curious guests. The small reading space surrounded by bookcases is conspicuous. Toys and parody pictures of classic and handmade goods are all over the place. The people who visit this place are those who love reading books, so it seems that this place is such a cozy bunker where people come to rest under the shade of books and escape from the harsh outer world.
Usually, you can buy a nice book for three thousand won, but here, you can buy a good book for just a thousand won. At half its regular price, you can purchase a very thick, big, and expensive book that you have never dreamed of buying. Anyone who does not have much money but is eager to get books should visit this place.
Here’s how you can get to the shop. Take the No. 6 Subway and get off at Eungam Station. Go out through exit 3, and the shop has a ten-minute-walk distance from there. The shop is closed every Tuesday and on national holidays, and is open from 3 to 11 p.m. Every Friday of the second and fourth weeks of each month is the“Midnight Bookshop Day,” when the shop is open until 5 a.m. Sometimes, indie musicians perform during those nights. This hidden place is highly recommended for those who enjoy spending their spare time in peace, surrounded by books.
