In recent years, in Asia, The Select Shop can be seen standing in the streets and lanes. The concept of “selection” is widely used in clothing and home furnishings. The cultural style of each place creates a self-conscious attitude towards objects and space. With this inspiration extended to books, it can eliminate the image of a bookstore that has been established, adding a touch of surprise to an empty, boring space. Let's take a look at the three select bookstores in Taipei who are invisible and have the opportunity to become your next resting place.

1.LUCY MARTIN ART BOOKSHOP

Will Lee, the owner of the clothing brand Alice Lawrance, recently opened an independent bookstore in the Minsheng Community in Taipei. It is interesting that this name also used the girl's name – Lucy Martin Art Bookshop. Unlike the previous bookstore entrance, you will see a wide variety of books. In his bookstore, you will only see a few books and magazines. The shopkeeper expects everyone to step into this space without feeling oppressed, gentle and light. Browse for reading.

The interior decoration of the store is presented in an “unfinished” style, allowing us to imagine it. At the same time, it also echoes the fact that most of the books are related to the arts. The rest is filled with intentional or unintentional creations by the readers. You can come here and order a drink. Quietly find inspiration in books.

2.Reading Bookstore

The Yuele Bookstore, originally a movie scene, is located in Taipei’s Songyan Cultural and Creative Park, a log cabin by the lake. The main focus here is on the books of literary works. Each month, experts are selected, and they can dig up domestic and foreign minority publications. From time to time, lectures, poetry, art performances, etc. will be held. In the salon culture of the Renaissance, you can gain opportunities to interact with people, think, and create in the store.

After returning to the exhibition and movie in Songyan Park, you can go to the bookstore. If you have time until the evening, the bookstore will be transformed into a small bar, have a bit of alcoholic drinks, and dance with books.

3.Not just a library

Not only is the library also hidden in the Songyan Cultural and Creative Park, it houses a collection of more than 100 design-related books, including everything from industrial, architectural, fashion, graphic, and other publications. The quiet space is presented in the design of industrial style, with black and white gray as the keynote. With the light of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, you can pick up a few favorite books and sit in a spacious seat for a whole day.

What is more special is that there are tickets to be purchased here. Not only are the tickets designed by the library also very concise, they use expired daily publications, and the use of various paper materials is interleaved and replanned so that each ticket presents a different visual The appearance allows readers to obtain a unique reading experience from the ticket before entering the museum.
