? As an old bookstore selling second-hand books, I thought there wouldn't be many people, but I was wrong.
? It is difficult to park, there are no reserved parking spaces on the roadside, there are also several cars, and what is more conspicuous is some rented bicycles. I feel that riding a bike will be more suitable. The location of the bookstore is not good either. In a park by the roadside, there is a simple iron gate with no name, which shows what is inside. The iron gate didn't open, only a small pedestrian gate was opened. I went in, took my temperature and showed my health treasure; I saw a green slope with Kung Fu pandas and Jedi knights in Star Wars, and then I saw a sign "Catch more fish->1-1.
It looks like this. That's right. Go inside, turn left about 50 meters, and you can catch more fish when you see the door.
? Red brick walls, wooden window frames, large glass windows on the upper and lower floors, and a glass skylight on the ground, from which you can see the inside of the underground floor, which is also a part of the bookstore. There is a sign hanging on the open door to catch more fish. This is a cat sitting on a rocking horse. The sign says "Catch more fish".
? Opposite the bookstore, it should be Tonghui River. I walked over and looked at the scenery. It was an ordinary river, but today it was accompanied by blue sky and white clouds.
? Walking into the bookstore is as simple and clean as the external feeling. About 200 square meters, there are several rows of double-sided wooden bookshelves across the door, and huge wooden bookshelves stand on both sides.
There are not many people in the bookstore, mainly young people, including a young man on crutches; Some children are brought up by middle-aged parents, but the elderly are not.
? Let's just get started. I'll start with the first shelf and order new books.
Reading second-hand books is completely different from reading new books, probably because of different expectations. We have all been to the bookstore selling new books. Rows are very neat, basically the latest books, bestsellers or literature. Basically, every bookstore is similar. But in second-hand bookstores, new books refer to new and old books, not books that have been listed recently. They come from all over the world. Although the books are also classified, they are barely distributed, and I feel that the clerk has done his best. The most popular business inspirational books in the new bookstore are ignored here. Is it because they have not stood the test of time?
? Reading second-hand books feels different, probably because the experience of each book is different. They are all books with stories. They are not brand new, but they are all experienced. They came here for different reasons, their hometown and their faces.
There is a book called The Color of Fatigue. I was moved by the title. I feel very tired when I see the title. Going to the bookstore at noon on weekends is likely to start to get tired later. This book has been here for a long time. She is no longer young. The cover of the book is wrapped in a book coat, and the four corners of the book coat are worn out and a rose is painted on it. However, the overall color of the book coat has turned pale yellow, and the beauty still can't cover up the fatigue. The title page of this book is signed "Lin XX, 20 14, 6, 23 Guangzhou", and the first few pages of the book have been painted with markers in several places, such as "People say that the sunset is the end of the world, and my home can't be seen at the end of the world, and I hate the blue mountains, which are covered by dusk clouds". The former owner must appreciate this sentence, and I guess she also appreciates this book. I searched the internet and found that the book was not highly rated. It was "very loaded" and the author couldn't find any records. I think I have something to do with this book. This book is here wearily, looking at me eagerly, hoping that I can take her away. Just like the stray dog I saw at the door of the unit before I went out today, he looked at me with gentle and pitiful eyes. I can't take the dog, because my love is limited, but at least I can take the book. She is not expensive, only 8.8 yuan.
? Attracted by the title of the book, there is also a book called "Shoot the railing all over"; The small print on the cover reads obliquely: The book department recommended by teachers and students of famous middle schools in Shanghai has influenced my high school days. It's interesting to film all the railings. Do you want to film all the railings? It's more heroic to slap the railing with your palm. However, this line of crooked small print is daunting, and I found it, so I withdrew my idea of taking her in.
? I think there is a book in Wang Xiaohui called My Visual Journey, which looks familiar, as if it used to be mine. Last year, I sold this book to Dodo Fish. I have read this book completely several times. After reading it, the book is still good. I think I have gained the author's pride and confidence. I don't need her anymore anyway. I changed her to the number in WeChat coin purse. But then I saw several books "My Visual Journey" here, and I don't know which one once belonged to me. But why is this book particularly easy to turn over? Is it because the sales volume was particularly large that year? Or is it because the author has faded out now? Are all the people who buy books so powerful? If the author is as famous as Chen Danqing now, will he turn over the book?
? Visiting second-hand bookstores is actually quite troublesome, because there is basically only one book per book. You must carefully scan the rows of spines like a sieve and analyze them quickly. What does this book say? Does it look nice? Is it valuable? Should I buy it? Very tired.
? In fact, why should we buy second-hand books? Because it's cheap? Can I buy an e-book because it can add value? I'm afraid it's difficult. There are no real orphans here. The owners of books certainly know the value of their treasures. For example, the book "Gulag Islands" I am looking for is no longer printed. At that time, there was only the internal print edition of the public publishing house, and the price of the whole set I found in other second-hand bookstores on the Internet was as high as 1000 yuan. There won't be here, and if there is, I shouldn't pay the price. It seems that if you want to read this book, you can only borrow it from the Capital Library after the epidemic. In addition, you must have a pair of eyes to find the missing, which is a very high requirement.
? So why do we buy second-hand books?
? I bought four books this time, the first one, the color of fatigue, which I mentioned just now.
? The second book is "Cats and Dogs at Home" by Czech writer karel capek. This writer is very famous in the Czech Republic, but he is basically not famous in China, so no one will publish new books in recent years, and he can only buy used books if he wants to read them. And not in the library. For example, during the Chinese New Year, my nephew said that he wanted to read another book by Capec, Chaos of the Giant Fish, which was recommended by winter vacation homework. There are no new books in this book, whether in physical bookstores or online. Even the old books were bought after I scoured the Internet several times and was stood up once. So I can only buy second-hand books if I want to read them, because I can't buy new books. The electronic version is certainly even more impossible. This is not to say how good his book is, but it is quite good. For example, Chaos of the Giant Fish belongs to the book that I read in one breath.
? The third book is Art Detective by Sanlian Xinzhi Library. It's almost the same as the new one, and the price is cheaper than the new one. So buy it.
? The fourth book is a history of European comics (the second part), but I haven't read it (the first part). The price of this book is not cheap, and it is similar to the price of new books online. Did you buy the wrong one? Not exactly. If I hadn't come to the second-hand bookstore and searched the shelves carefully, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had a chance to see this book. There are not many new bookstores, so a period of time is a period and my destiny.
? After visiting the first floor, I saw the stairs leading downstairs. There is a big French window next to the stairs, and you can see outside. It is an empty small courtyard, which is neither big nor open. The glass says "Go downstairs and have a look".
? The weather is very good today. When I went down the stairs, I looked back at the French window. I saw the blue tile sky, the leaves of the courtyard trees under the blue sky, and the half figure of the opposite Huamao Building leaned out of the courtyard wall. There is a quiet flavor in this painting, and there is also a bustling silhouette. Reading is a quiet thing. When I was in my twenties, I often visited bookstores. I once met a male colleague. He may have said to me out of kindness, "Don't come to the bookstore all the time." I always remember this sentence. I can't help jumping out every time I visit a bookstore. I guess he's afraid I'm too quiet
? Downstairs are some original English books, some other books and some daily necessities. There is also a corner with some old furniture, cabinets and desks. There is a blanket in the middle of the ground. There is an old children's bike and some old children's toys on the blanket. Although the furniture is old, it looks cheap and simple. This decoration seems to have a profound meaning. Since the book is second-hand, it seems that it should be made with some old furniture. But this corner makes me a little uncomfortable. Do I have to be so affected? Is there no better plan?
? After shopping downstairs, when I turned to go upstairs, I found a small shelf next to the stairs with a small sign "regret car" on it, which was quite interesting. I have carefully browsed the books on this small shelf. It is really a regrettable book. There is nothing to regret if you don't look at this small bookshelf.
? I went to the cashier at the door and checked out the four books I bought. Before I left, I looked back at the bookstore. There are still a lot of people in the store, all of whom are seriously browsing and searching. They brought some books home hopefully, which were quietly screened by future owners. Out of the door, I saw the girl I saw when I entered the door before, and walked out slowly and carefully with a cane. I had a crush on her and asked her if she needed help. She said no, her husband came with her and will be here soon.
? Out of the gate, driving home, the weather is still so good, not as good as Beijing.
