Integrated Antique Bookstore - Institutional Reviews

Founded in 1988, the Old Book Society is the oldest bookstore on this list.

As the name suggests, there are many old books in it, some of which are even unique, and their collection value is far greater than the textual content. This is due to the preference of the shopkeeper, who specializes in collecting historical materials and archival collections, and can also generate income while satisfying his own hobbies. The old books are organized in a messy manner, and the archives are neatly categorized, some of which record the changes in the party organization in Wuhan in detail, down to the names of the people in the grassroots organizations. There are also materials detailing foreign media reports on the events in China.

If it weren't for the sake of collecting, the old books of the bookstore might not be of much significance to the average reader. But for professionals, integrating the old book house can mean a gem. It can be confirmed that most of the old books come from the library of Wuhan University, and the relatively new books in the store are also closely related to universities.

The new book is mainly based on textbooks, covering computer, programming, art, architecture, biochemistry, economics, law, communication and other sections. There is a Tongji version of "Advanced Mathematics" and supporting auxiliary teaching, which is very suitable for novices, and this is also a portrayal of the function of the store. The English and test sections are very utilitarian, and the books have been passed quickly, while the original books on the side are more valuable, and they are too old to appear in complex bookstores.

The decoration of the book club is simple, you can see bonsai, root carving, calligraphy and painting everywhere, and objects such as Chairman Mao's portrait can highlight the sense of age. The owner's business is also full of individuality, and the old bookstore is only open from 10:00 to 12:00.
