Have you ever dreamed of being a bookstore clerk? I have.
Through this book, we learn about this legendary British bookstore【Henry Sharon] story, step into the world of rare books with the author.
I love reading books very much. In the sixth grade of elementary school, I got my first novel:Twilight. This started my reading journey, and I have fantasized countless times about the feeling of working in an antique bookstore and being surrounded by books every day. (Although I am currently working in the catering industry)
You will find that this book was bought once when I walked into Eslite to buy the book I wanted. I stood at the inquiry counter and asked if the store had the book I wanted. When the clerk checked that there was stock, he left the post to help me get it. At that time, I saw this book titled: "Once upon a time, there was an ancient bookstore"book of. And there are two different covers: one is an Eslite exclusive book jacket, and the other is a normal green cover book jacket. I was thinking about whether to buy more of this book when the clerk just came back with the book I wanted, so I put the book down and silently wrote down its title in my mind, and decided to buy this book when I get my salary next month. Book.
Fortunately, I made this decision so that I didn’t miss a good book!!
I bought the Eslite exclusive book jacket for a very simple reason:The first page has the author's signature. And the material on this page is very nice to touch.。
Author of this book:Oliver Darkshire, was a senior clerk in Saleron. He wrote this book based on his own work experience. And he was just as unfamiliar with the rare book industry as we were. From a novice to becoming a senior store clerk, all these stories are written from his perspective in this book.
have to say【Book】It has a unique charm. When you turn the first page, you will finish reading this book silently (whether you can understand it or not). Especially when you see a good book that you love so much that you can't bear to put it down from your hands, when you finish reading the book, you will take another look at the cover carefully and reflect on the ending of the story. This book made me feel like this.
Every time I read a chapter, I look forward to what interesting things are waiting for me to discover in the next chapter. Even when I read this page, I wonder what will happen next? And the author writes it based on his own experience. Each chapter made me immerse myself in that scene more, as if I was an apprentice in Sharon Bookstore.
What surprised me even more was that the author also added a mini-game developed by himself at the end of the book:Bookstore Life: If you are a bookstore owner.... I didn’t expect it! When you finish reading the book, there is actually a mini game you can play. This is a big surprise for book lovers and people who dream of becoming bookstore employees! And during the game, you will be yourself in the game again and again. Go to Sharon, a century-old bookstore, and you are an employee (boss) there.
I am really grateful to the author for publishing this book and letting me know about the existence of this legendary bookstore. I have listed it as one of the places I must visit in the future. At the same time, it also reminded me of how I felt when I was a complete novice in a new workplace, and my supervisor and colleagues taught me what they had learned. It was also inevitable that I would encounter some strange customers.
「Once upon a time, there was an ancient bookstore” is currently “kitten frankie"The second book is one of my most recommended books this year. To be honest, these two books are totally worth reading again and again and collecting them!
If you're curious why I don't reveal more about the plot of the book to you, it's because: I don't want to shock you. Therefore, I use the method of sharing my own experience after reading the book, but I also try not to let the content of the experience be thunderous and affect the readers' perception.
When I first purchased this book, I purchased the exclusive Eslite book jacket. Here I put the book recommendation link into the green book jacket’s website.
