Calling Books
The bookstore derives its name from 'calling water,' inviting visitors to relish the joy of encountering a book that beckons to them.
Introduction
Approximately 3 pyeong in size, the space can be seen at a glance through the brightly open glass. They filled the narrow space so well that if three or four people entered, their shoulders would almost touch each other. On one wall, there are decorations that reveal the bookstore's identity, and the low bookshelves and tables in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass are fully utilized to regularly present new books, exhibitions, and goods. The name of the bookstore comes from ‘calling water’, or priming water. I hope you enjoy the joy of encountering a book that is like a stimulant for reading in the middle of Apgujeong Rodeo Street.
