A story of neighborhood bookstores loved by twenty popular Korean illustrators.
Twenty popular illustrators who are heating up social media in a hip way gathered together. Which neighborhood bookstores in Korea do they love the most? Life Pattern Korea. What kind of book would it become if those places were drawn and bound together? "Drawing Bookstores" began that way. Alleys and alleys held twenty neighborhood bookstores quietly tucked away. Calm and beautiful drawings, together with prose, were woven into a single book.
