Reading About Boats In A Container Bookstore

When Eslite Spectrum (誠品生活) opened a location at an outlet mall next to the Port of Taichung, they wanted to create an aura to match their surroundings. So naturally, they created a Container Box Bookstore!  

Everything from the store's facade, the inner walls, and even the book shelves themselves all contain elements of shipping containers.  And while you're browsing the books, take a look out the picture windows and you will see a dozen ships in the harbour filled to the brim with containers.  

Eslite has always been a great bookstore, but they just took it to a whole new level. The Container Box Bookstore is our new favorite place to spend an afternoon.
