This is the trail I followed to find the Ebony and Ivory bookstore. The sign already caught my eyes the few times we passed through the area and only through the fb group that I learned that it is a second-hand books' store. The directions were pretty solid. Coming from the Shinsege area, I walk past the the 7-11 store and I already spotted the black and white signboard even though it was written in Korean. There were ample signs to follow so it felt like a scavenger hunt for me as I go downstairs to the basement.
This is what I saw upon reaching the landing. It looks a bit uninhabited and creepy at first but ...
when I turned right and spied this door...
it felt like home! (I just love bookstores and this setting is one unique place as it kind of gives me the old bookstore feeling.)
Right in front of me are shelves of used books of every genre: from novels, self-help, reference books, children's books and other series. Hurray! This is nothing compared to the ones in the malls like Booksale that I frequent before.
Some other places of interest I've seen around the area. An Indian resto, a branch of a stationery store called Dream Office, and a uniform store.
