The mirrored ceiling makes the bookstore look like an endless library Dujiangyan Zhongshuge bookstore in Chengdu, Sichuan, China attracts customers not only because of the variety of titles but also thanks to its unique architecture and excellent interior design. Architecture firm X + Living drew inspiration from the natural world with arched bookshelves to design the bookstore. A representative of architecture firm Li Xiang said it took one month to design the site and five months to complete the construction process. This shows the complexity of the project and the careful preparation of the bookstore. Thanks to the subtlety of placing mirrors inside the building, along with the sparkling black tile floor created a beautiful illusion, turning the bookstore into a giant library-like space, like a paradise for children. nerd. Chinese bookseller Zhongshuge is known for its inspirational bookstores, but its newest location, Dujiangyan in Sichuan province, is arguably the most appealing of all. The bookstore is about 975 square meters, opening in the fall of 2020. The stairs and arched doorways make the space seem much larger. The unique design makes customers feel like they are walking through glass panels. Large, dome-shaped walnut bookcases take up most of the bookstore space. The design is so perfect that it is a complete illusion but customers still love to struggle to find where the shelves really start and stop. The trick the designers use to achieve great effect is to cover the shelves with prints of books, so when looking at the entire space people will see books stretching from floor to ceiling. Li Xiang said: “If we put real books on the shelves, it will be difficult for customers to reach and it is not easy for carers to manage. The whole bookstore has more than 80,000 books, so they are I have to organize efficiently, not to waste space”. Lighting also plays an important role in the entire design. Each bookshelf will have its own light cord, which not only improves the effect of creating a sense of infinity, but also helps customers find books more convenient. Li Xiang compares the experience of walking through space-dividing arcs to ‘stepping over a rolling mountain’.

According to the site’s analysis Dosdoce , putting this method into pilot at bookstores not only opens up a “trick” to attract readers, but also contributes to increasing book sales. After listening to an excerpt, if interested, readers can buy the book right there. Especially, for those who “love” audiobooks, this is the bridge that “pulls” them to experience with the latest audiobooks. That also increases the number of potential bookstore customers. With a phone or tablet, readers can scan QR codes to listen to books. Photo: Sznews.com With this new method, the approach to books becomes more relevant to modern life. Customers who come here only need to select the publication they want to listen to. The headset will be made available after scanning the code. In case you want to listen to that publication the next time you come back, you just need to scan the QR code directly on your phone or tablet (the system will break the paragraph and display the QR code for you to save for your return). next). Readers can listen to the audio version and browse the book at the same time. Photo: Sznews.com Another advantage is that customers can listen to and browse through the actual bookstores, or online books, ebooks. This is a combination form (scan the code – listen to the book – buy the book) that pulls readers to the bookstore. This once again shows that the support of electronic devices is an effective bridge in attracting book lovers. Above all, using QR codes to listen to books helps promote new publications, promote reading culture during the epidemic season, in the context of China where the outbreak of Covid-19 with many peaks.

The difficulty of foreign-language and bilingual bookmakers lies in “hunting” readers, because so far the number of readers is mainly foreigners. The pandemic has also made it difficult to transport orders over long distances. Dr. Tran Doan Lam, Director and Editor-in-Chief of World Publishing House, explained that the online book publishing story did not create a breakthrough for his unit during the epidemic season. Dr. Tran Doan Lam, Director and Editor-in-Chief of World Publishing House. Photo: Tran Long. The bookstore is no longer crowded – The pandemic has caused delays in many industries, including publishing. In the middle of the epidemic season, do you think that limiting contact will help publish books online with many advantages? Publishing books online during the epidemic season always has two sides: advantages and challenges. The outbreak makes people have more time to stay at home with their families. It is considered an advantage for people to have more time to relieve stress. If you want to connect with the outside world, you can use the Internet or read books and newspapers. On the other hand, during the epidemic, it must be acknowledged that the people’s priority item is necessities. Therefore, financial funds in the family must be considered when spending for entertainment purposes. That’s why I say the book release during the pandemic has two sides. Dr. Tran Doan Lam, Director and Editor-in-Chief of World Publishing House, shared the difficulties his unit is facing during the epidemic season. Photo: Tran Long. – Pandemic broke out, e-commerce floors were active. Do you think this will overwhelm the development of bookstores? We are facing the fourth technical revolution, electronic devices are becoming more and more popular. Most people have access to online information. I myself am from the generation that loves to read entity books. I like going to book streets, bookstores or going to book exhibitions as a reader. But recently, the bookstores are no longer crowded, maybe only the appearance of nostalgic people still retain the elegant pleasure of reading. Another fact is that as the population increases, the storage space for books in a family will be narrower, leading to the tendency to read more books online. However, I don’t think online books will completely overwhelm physical bookstores because nowadays there are still many readers who like to hold the book directly in their hands, feel its beauty before deciding to buy. Publishing books online, should or not? – Through participating on the book365.vn floor, how did the World Publishing House get results? Besides, through which pages does your unit promote books? With the participation on the book365.vn floor, we set the goal of promoting the brand of our unit; and at the same time introduce foreign language books and newspapers on the copyright exchange with European-American partners, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asian countries. The peculiarity of foreign-language books makes it impossible to promote on Vietnamese pages and reading groups. Dr. Tran Doan Lam, Director and Editor-in-Chief of World Publishing House Through this, we have sold book rights to a number of partners, contributing to promoting the image of Vietnam to the world. However, the number of books sold on the floor was also not very positive. The characteristics of the books of the World Publishing House make it impossible to promote on Vietnamese pages and reading groups. In addition to participating on the book365.vn floor, we only introduce books on Tiki and the official website of the publisher. – Many units are “covering losses” by promoting online publishing. Why doesn’t your unit follow that trend? Online book publishing is actually a trend in digital transformation. This is a requirement of the times and we cannot go against the times. World Publishing House was also forced to transform itself to catch up with this revolution. This is a great opportunity, saving a lot of costs and stages. However, publishing books online for a foreign-language and bilingual book-making unit is always more difficult than for Vietnamese online book-making units. Not to mention online publishing, it is necessary to invest in a certain infrastructure, and at the same time, our unit must also take into account issues of copyright, information security, payment, and database. .. To break through right away is very difficult, it must be a process and requires investment in both material and human resources. Publications of World Publishing House are mainly foreign languages ​​and bilinguals. Photo: World Publishing House. What challenges are foreign book writers facing? – When the audience is mainly foreigners, what difficulties do you face in transporting and delivering books to readers during the epidemic season? The whole world is struggling against the Covid-19 pandemic, transporting books is facing many difficulties. About a few months ago, when an epidemic broke out, an American customer ordered 10 of our books for work. Due to the pandemic, the time to send books took a long time. The other reader kept emailing us, expressing his desire to receive the book soon. In the end, he did not have the patience to wait and said that the delayed delivery had missed his plan. He decided to cancel the order. When we contacted the Vietnamese post office, they confirmed that they had shipped the order to the US, but due to Covid-19, it was congested at the port. Then we had to return the money to the other customer and lose the books. Some time later, the books in the jammed port area were delivered to the buyers. Receiving the book, although not timely, was also very emotional. He wrote a letter to us expressing his sympathy for the difficulties faced by the foreign language book-making unit in the context of the epidemic. – The “hunting” of readers is certainly difficult, sir? How is World Publishing House oriented to overcome that difficulty? Our first difficulty must be mentioned is the small number of visitors, “hunting” readers during the epidemic season is really difficult because for nearly two years foreign visitors have not been able to enter, the number of books sold to this audience has decreased sharply . From left to right: Dr. Tran Doan Lam, Mrs. Diana Dudzik (author of two books A and V published by World Publishing House) and her husband Diana. Photo: Tran Long. Secondly, it must also be mentioned that our reading culture has been reduced when facing foreign and bilingual books due to the strong competition of the mass media. The third difficulty, as I said, is the shipping and payment for foreign readers. Currently, we focus on releasing more titles in Vietnamese because from last year to this year, the number of books published in Vietnamese has remained somewhat stable. Besides, promoting cooperation with foreign book-making partners. This is a very important orientation. However, due to the pandemic, all negotiations and contract signings have stalled. – So is it a challenge to associate with foreign units, translate and publish books online during the epidemic season? In my opinion this is a challenge. However, we have to thank some foreign partners because they still pay special attention to us, such as Korea and some Southeast Asian countries. The number of readers is small, the culture of reading books in foreign languages ​​is reduced, and transportation during the epidemic season is hindered are the difficulties that we are facing. Dr. Tran Doan Lam, Director and Editor-in-Chief of World Publishing House Or as recently, the Venezuelan ambassador had a meeting with us. She asked permission from World Publishing House to translate some publications into Spanish. During the meeting, she also shared that Venezuela is about to host an international book fair, so she is very interested in the fact that there will be publications translated from Vietnamese into Spanish. Or vice versa, Korean publishing companies also regularly work with us to translate some works from them into Vietnamese to promote Korean tourism. But it must also be added that the pandemic makes it impossible for regular meetings to take place in person, but must be done online. Online transactions are still in the early stages, not our familiar ways and methods of working, so there are many difficulties, it takes time to get used to.

A bookstore with a cute name “Fox” (Fox), owned by an elderly woman, was opened nearly ten years ago. The bookstore owner is also a local, born in Kha Kha Thac Hai (Keketuohai) in the Altay Mountains, with a special interest in painting and books: “It’s been eight years since the bookstore opened. The scenery here is ideal for us humans to enjoy, and Kanas is like the kingdom of all animals. I think it’s great to name my bookstore Fox. Tourists come here no matter how they pronounce my bookstore name, as long as they remember it. At first this bookstore was also quite modest, now it is full of books. All the materials to decorate the bookstore are purely local products. For example, this is a basket people here are used to knead dough, but I like to use it to store paint.” Many people are curious to wonder if this small bookstore located in a desolate place like this will work effectively, or who will come here to buy books when online retail platforms like Taobao and Dangdang are being sold. more and more blooming, with special promotions, shocking book discounts. But according to the owner, she opened this small bookstore for a very simple purpose, which is to “beautify” this fascinating land. Another reason is to help connect with more travelers: “I used to help kids write their first handwritten letters here, or at this same bookstore many newlyweds write their first love letters. It brings many good memories of Kanas to tourists.” Kanas in Mongolian means beautiful, rich and mysterious. This reserve is famous for its beautiful natural ecological system made up of rivers, lakes, forests and grasslands. Notable is Lake Kanas, derived from the glacier of the same name on Mount Atlay.

Going to the bookstore is still an indispensable habit of girls and nerds. Hanoi has many places to eat, have fun, play, relax, and entertain. Each person, depending on their needs and preferences, chooses different places to rest for themselves. People who like movies, art go to theaters, movie theaters … People who like peace of mind, of course, the most ideal destination is bookstores. And young people still go to bookstores a lot, of course, not just to “check in”. If the first book in the world appeared from the 25th century BC, the first bookstore in the world would take a long time to be born, nearly 300 years ago. Unlike a library, a bookstore is not only a place to store the treasure of human knowledge, an event venue for clubs, book lovers, but also a place for trading and exchanging books. notebooks, cultural products, even stationery and coffee. The era of digital technology took the throne, e-commerce developed like a storm, books and newspapers faced many difficulties. Around the world, many newspapers have been wiped out. Just worry that one day, paper books will also perish, replaced by electronic books. The bookstores will also gradually disappear, disappear or be transformed into a commercial complex of many things. But fortunately, that has not happened, but on the contrary, bookstores are opening more and more everywhere to meet the needs of accessing knowledge from traditional paper books and meeting and exchanging with readers. Going to the bookstore is still an indispensable habit of girls and nerds. Just opening the door of the bookstore, a unique scent of the paper of new books rushes into the nose, making perception as if it is activated, awakening, ready to receive the huge knowledge base lying. quiet on the other bookshelves. The feeling of being lost in the towering shelves, seeing them with your own eyes, touching each book is as interesting as being lost in a maze, rather than sitting in one place to buy books online. A bit overwhelmed, a little dizzy, a little confused when the covers are beautiful, all titles are good, raised and put down, inhaled for a while but still didn’t know which book to choose. Bookstores are also responsive to the trends and demands of the young customer segment. Except here and there still exist sidewalk bookstores mixed with new and old books, most of them are fake books, and most of the bookstores are designed, furnished and arranged according to the many different styles. Ancient bookstores with simple layout have been upgraded or replaced with large-scale, large-area bookstores, displaying thousands of books of all genres. There is a bookstore with vintage, classic, rustic style that teenagers like to come here to drink coffee and take pictures of romantic “check in”. There is a large book company that invests in opening a coffee book chain from the South to the North, using bookshelves and bookshelves made of natural wood with varnish, luxurious, majestic, and harmoniously combined with beautiful green bonsai pots like libraries and bookstores in Europe. Whether classic, rustic, simple or modern, luxurious, bookstores are warm and eye-catching, attracting customers, contributing to stimulating the book market demand and improving reading culture for Vietnamese. The bookstore not only sells books but also stationery, funny souvenirs, cute and lovely handmade cards, very convenient for customers to shop. There is a bookstore that hangs a board on the wall for customers to write to send someone a few lines of nostalgic feelings, anger and indifference, good feelings about the bookstore or a few sincere suggestions. Or you can also write for yourself words that you cannot share with anyone to ease your heartache. For a long time, I have the opportunity to return to visit the bookstore, standing in front of a “note” board with all kinds of colors, as if seeing the inner world of many strangers who are also rich, many levels and colors. how damn good. And suddenly smiling, I see why I have had times so weak, so sentimental, I love someone so much … Most of the people who go to bookstores are students. This is the age group with the greatest demand for reading to serve the needs of filling and expanding knowledge about life and the world around them, in addition to knowledge learned in school. The kids who love the most are science fiction comics, sports, humor, fairy tales, stories about famous celebrities, books that answer thousands of questions about why … , students love to read books that inspire beautiful lives, skill books, career guidance, travel tours, detective stories and psychological and emotional stories, which are somewhat lyrical … The brains of those who belong This age group also has the best ability to absorb knowledge because they do not have too much trouble with family, livelihood, and money. There are a number of working people who also buy books, read books with high content of knowledge, specialized knowledge to improve their expertise, profession, work or research. Many elderly and retired doctors still actively read books to help the brain to ceaselessly move, combat aging and memory decline in the elderly. In the bookstore, we can easily see the image of many parents taking their children to buy books and school supplies. Children love to read but do not have good and appropriate book-selection skills, so they need parents, adults to guide, orientate or choose to help. Books are always a gift with a meaningful spiritual value and going to the bookstore becomes a reward for good kids on weekends. Regularly allowing children to go to the bookstore also contributes to nurture their love of books and encourages them to read because not all children like to read. Friends who love the atmosphere at book cafes often date, meet here to share with each other about work, life and a passion for books. There is a large bookstore that has dedicated an entire room for those who need absolute tranquility to read, work and study. There have been close friendships, beautiful love stories like dreams blossomed, blossoming and fruitful from beautiful bookstores like poetry. I am also one of the book lovers and a regular visitor to many bookstores. When it comes to choosing cafes for dating and meeting friends, my first and number one choice is book cafes. Many of my friends are also book lovers or work in books and magazines. I often go to enjoy book coffee by myself, especially when I need to focus on composing, writing, or simply resting, relaxing. Leaving behind all the noise of daily life, temporarily setting aside all worries, living a beat slow, we enter the bookstore like stepping into a different world, a quiet, deep world. identity, mastery of words, filled with the light of human knowledge. It feels like we are sitting in the middle of the floor, the class of sages, famous authors all over the world to listen to them tell their own special stories, take us immersed, adventurous to all. domain in the vast universe. That feeling of fluttering, in that space filled with the smell of new paper, resonating with the faint and delicate coffee scent of my nose pushed up the flow of emotions, helping me to work more effectively … How beautiful and civilized the city is when there are more bookstores. To sow, awaken, nurture intellectual dreams from within the seed …

Up to now, Chung Shu Cac has been present in many big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou and most recently in Chengdu. The interesting thing is that the bookstores in Chung Thu Cac system are unique in each place, designed based on the cultural characteristics of each region. Chung Thu Cac Bookstore in Chengdu was inspired by the dams in the Do Giang Yen area If Chung Shu Cac in Chongqing is inspired by mountains, Chung Shu Cac in Hangzhou is inspired by forests, Chung Shu Cac in Beijing has moon gates, giving the feeling that Entering a lofty garden … But at Chung Thu Cac located in Do Giang Yen, Chengdu – where there is an ancient irrigation system, the main area of ​​the bookstore is shaped based on the structure of the dams, is reproduced in an artistic way. The common point of bookstores in Chung Thu Cac system is that the ceilings are mirror-clad, thanks to the reflection, the bookstore space is expanded, creating an infinite feeling. In addition, bookstores use the deep and subtle colors of the libraries in ancient Europe. The system of stairs winding around the columns of books really impresses visitors At Chung Thu Cac in Chengdu, the design company X + Living has set up columns of books that are high to the ceiling, and a system of stairs curled around the columns to help readers easily access the desired works. However, not all the books on the columns are real books. There were only pictures of books on the top shelves of the column. According to the X + Living design side, this is a difficult area for readers to access, leaving real books will make it difficult for bookstores to manage and care for books at the top. However, Chung Shu Cac in Chengdu still owns a huge “treasure” with more than 80,000 books on an area of ​​973m2, creating a large maze that makes first-time visitors easily overwhelmed. The columns of books in the Chengdu Chung Shu were high and hit the ceiling With a two-storey design, in addition to the bookstores stacked up to the ceiling, the first floor of the bookstore also has a coffee shop and a children’s play area, where there are bookshelves made of bamboo. On the second floor, the bookstore has many seats, suitable for readers to rest and read, work, talk and exchange. Thuy Duong – Photo: Feng Shao According to X + Living
