I think it is important for every bookstore to have its own special characteristics. For example, the stunning view of the Tamsui River is what sets the Youhe Bookstore apart from others. Shulin Bookstore’s vast collection of children’s books and Tianyuan Citylife Bookstore’s creative products makes them very different to the Small Small Bookshop and to each other. Not only do they sell different books, but the way they display and present the books are not the same. So, every bookstore has a special style which is what makes independent bookstores interesting.

Not only were the kinds of book available in the bookshops weren’t the same, the whole feeling of the bookshops are also not the same.
Small Small has a feeling of home, while that feeling of Xiabeichi Bookstore gave to me, is just like, you’ve come to a new world, because it didn’t have the cozy atmosphere of Small Small, but it owned a kind of unique new Japanese style. The differences between Tianyuan Citylife Bookstore and Small Small, other than the area were, and the furnishings. Tianyuan Citylife Bookstore gives me a kind of new independent bookstores style feelings.Youhe Bookstore and Small Small have a lot of similarities. Their areas were both small, and both sold afternoon tea snacks. The most interesting of all was that, is they both have cute cats.
