 |
| Mr. Nguyen Hoang Han (60 years old), owner of the old bookstore at 120 Nguyen Van Cu, confided: “About 5 years ago, there were more than a dozen old bookstores next to each other, but now there are only 5 left. Science and technology are increasingly developing, the old book business has low profits while the operating costs are quite high, causing many people to quit the job and switch to other jobs. However, many people still have a strong attachment to old books, so they still maintain the operation of the stores.” |
 |
| In the age of information technology, people think they can find the documents and information they need with a few clicks and a few keywords, but there is still a lot of useful knowledge that the Internet cannot update or is not highly accurate. That is why there are still people who go to used bookstores, and reading is also a hobby that no social network can replace. |
 |
| The owner of the old bookstore Huong Tho shared: “My daily joy is to see customers standing in front of the bookshelves, choosing and buying their favorite books. It is to arrange and smell the unique aroma of old books. It is to guide and witness life stories revolving around books. It is not simply a business but also a love that has been connected over the years.” |
