Storage Book & Film

Small, cute, cozy bookshop. I like the selection, featured authors (eesam in particular), and the shop itself like a magic house. It even features a special book selection from renowned Taiwan authors in synchrony with Seoul international Book Fair 2025 event which hosted Taiwan as honored guest.

We accidentally stumbled upon this gem of a store when we were walking. It’s a very small and cozy bookstore that has amazing selection of books and zines. The owner is very quiet and reserved but we had a good time just browsing the carefully curated books in the shop. I’m not sure if it’s worth coming to the neighborhood just to visit the shop, but I think if you happen to be in the area, you should definitely swing by!

The pictures I uploaded are for the 2nd store near the 108 stairway... but this shop is amazing if you are looking for something hip. I purchased a set of postcards as a gift.

If you visit Korea when it's not a book fair season, you can see various unique independent publications here. If you feel like the staff doesn't welcome you, it may be because of the characteristics of Korean customers. The staff there don't pretend to know, letting you enjoy books comfortably. This is a place where you can find new treasures whenever you go.

Interesting little boutique

Storage Books & Films is a pioneer in the independent publishing industry in Korea. This bookstore has been guarding this place for a long time even before Haebangchon became famous. You can find various independent publishing books in Korea and experience original subculture. I like the unique atmosphere of this bookstore and love the culture they create. Whenever I visit this place, I always get new inspiration and energy. It's definitely worth visiting.

Fascinating collections of zines and books, nearly all in Korean. A lot of them centered around travel.

Cute small bookstore. I did not find anything worth buying though.
