Would like to see bookstore supplier marry "

The many entities bookstore operators in recent years, in the face of competition of the net sales of network read all lament the business landslide. Including the a glory once famous private bookstores, also in distress and helplessness closed. With the rise of the big city bookstores, many traditional bookstores, and more into a comprehensive shopping malls. So, bookstores surnamed Wen is still a topic of concern became the book industry, and even many scholars surname supplier.

As the old publisher, I used to belong to the firm surnamed Wen faction. I truly miss the traditional bookstore looking for a book kind of quiet, the atmosphere of the reading and buying books. Joint Publishing has just celebrated the 80th anniversary of the construction of shops is a bookstore. Founded in difficult times, no one support also continued to be suppressed, but always surnamed Wen, who have made outstanding contributions to eight decades, for the dissemination of progressive culture.

I also think of Paris, a humble but prestigious bookstore - Shakespeare and Company. I know, planning and translated and published "Ulysses" Joyce novel, then be the United States and Britain the court unreasonably suppress ban India, it is thanks to the Shakespeare bookstore before to make this Kuangshi odd as able come out. Not only that, Hemingway in Paris is a holiday "in this book, there is a lot of space, recalled to Paris Shakespeare and bring his literary feelings.

Ernest Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954, in 1956, he re-visit to Paris, which treated him as an honored guest to stay in the guesthouse, and find out Hemingway lived in Paris in the twenties, left two boxes of old diaries returned to him. . These diaries, a detailed record of the year in Paris, Hemingway's first wife Hadley life situations. When they both frequented the Latin Quarter, a walk in the Seine, on the museum to watch the sea at a coffee shop chat, especially records of Shakespeare and Hemingway frequented. Where not only read the new many masterpieces, but also gives him the opportunity to come into contact with a number of well-known writer of Ezra Pound, Fitzgerald, and often they learn from literature. These contacts and experience to enrich his inspiration, his book "The Sun Also Rises" is created during this period. So far, many scholars came to Paris, still often attracted to the bookstore, to feel its scholarly atmosphere. This shows that the culture of a bookstore radiation force for the literati and cultural undertakings will produce how much impact.

But back to the real world, seeing many entities bookstore doors to cold, the scenery is not, I originally held surnamed Wen orientation can not help but be shaken. Things in development and social changes. Digital reading online bookselling such emerging patterns of consumption has been irreversibly violent impact to the traditional book marketing. Rigidly conservative trend would inevitably have to be eliminated. Traditional brick and mortar bookstores, it seems, must advance with the times, innovation and face new challenges with new thinking.

Bookstore surnamed Wen surname supplier, in fact, this is justified paradox. To promote the culture, bookstores have to survive in the self-financing under market economy conditions, survival or insured, bookstores without abandoning surnamed Wen reasonable surname providers, should be allowed to sideline the appropriate commercial activities. Properly so called, is to be good at handling surnamed Wen surname suppliers. Some places the book market, pushed inconspicuous place to sell books, good floors as shops apartments for rent, what to sell jewelry, sell appliances and even KTV rooms, just to pay the rent, can approach. I am disgusted with the disregard bookstore culture Willow Merchants. If bookstore surnamed Wen surname supplier, likened to two business orientation "marriage", I feel the need to abandon the kind of text had nothing to do with the business dajie "matchmaker" advocate help text provider blend of "mutual marry . " Such text both "marry" bookstore can do it? Just recently opened in Hong Kong Eslite bookstore, seems to provide useful ideas that one can learn.

The Taiwan bookseller Wuqing You spent a lot in the high cost of land in downtown Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, opened a Eslite bookstore. The bookstore covers an area of ​​3,000 square meters, the distribution of three 100,000 kinds of all kinds of Traditional Chinese and foreign language books, in addition to the book sections display outside Pi floral, tea houses, galleries, craft workshops, children's play, Sharon lectures different functions, such establishments. Same mall is selling books plus mode, but have deliberately creating a taste of culture atmosphere. Such as Taiwan Floriculture has always been famous, came here floral District, not only flowers, but also to understand the flowers history, flower typical floral and plant flowers in the story. In the crafts area, not only to see and buy some also teach you how to do, can be said to buy something, and experience of the craft. These statements were made the move, and how many are detached and culture, it is a kind of feeling in consumer acceptance of cultural edification. Especially store implement 24 hours a day, at 12:00 midnight, the famous Hong Kong media the writer Ma Jiahui presided over a late-night Seodang, along the employed of Dong Qiao Liang Tao, Xu Wendong number of famous scholars, take turns to participate in product book salon. Such a schedule, for the people of Hong Kong during the day, nervous rhythm, the night supper leisure habits, Welcome popular with our readers.

I would not say that the Eslite bookstore to do so, you can overcome the current plight of mortar bookstores, but can be considered to try a new way of thinking. Some people say, Eslite not only sell books, but a cultural philosophy, an attitude toward life. In my opinion, it is at least in the promotion of the bookstore surnamed Wen the surname supplier both "marriage", with the more successful the run. Prospects, the natural answer to be history. But from now on Taiwan's Eslite Bookstore has opened 40 department stores, as well as Hong Kong Eslite Bookstore opened the flow of people into the store you want to limit this trend point of view, we should be happy to see it go further.
