In the cafe alley near Dongdaegu Station, there is a small staircase leading down to the basement. If you follow the stairs after seeing the sign that reads "book store" at the entrance, you can catch a glimpse of the interior through a small window. You can see people browsing books on the shelves, chatting over cocktails, or petting a sleeping cat. Simple Heart+Place Bookstore, a space where hearts connect, is not merely a place to go to buy books. It is a place that embraces even those who are not usually familiar with books. Upon entering, various analog props catch your eye. While props in cafes are usually used for interior decoration and are meant only for viewing, there is no "look with your eyes only" sign here. Anyone can try using the typewriter, slide projector, and film camera firsthand. You can even write a letter using the Chicago typewriter, so if you visit, I recommend trying this unique experience filled with analog sensibility.
