In recent years, some people have initiated actions to stop buying large bookstores such as Sanzhongshang, and more people are concerned about the development of local independent bookstores. However, under the epidemic, the operation of small bookstores has become more difficult.
TOAST Books, located on Wai Chi Street, Shek Kip Mei, has a floor area of less than 100 feet and the decoration design is very simple.
The bookstore has always specialised in art and philosophy books. The owner once said that he hopes to build a small bookstore into a space for cultural and artistic exchanges.
However, TOAST Books recently announced on the Internet that it needs to close, and some books will be sold for as little as 40% during the closing period until the end of October.
TOAST Books, which has been in operation since 2018, is located opposite the Jockey Club Art Center. Although the shop is small, you can find some rare books in the market, such as "Art and Philosophy", "Principles of Legal Philosophy", "Literary Psychology" Bibliography of literature, history and philosophy.
It is understood that the owner is a designer and art worker, and opening a bookstore also hopes to become a "small folk art salon" to promote the development of local art.
However, during the epidemic, fewer and fewer people went to the bookstore during the period when the gathering restriction was in effect, and the business was greatly affected, so I decided to close the business on Saturday (31st).
TOAST Books posted the final business hours on Facebook:
28/10 (Wednesday) 14:00-18:30
29/10 (Thursday) 14:00-18:30
30/10 (Friday) 14:00-18: 30
31/10 (Sat) 14:00-18:30
