It officially launched on February 14th (I swear it was a coincidence). My goal was to create a bookstore with a wide catalog of short stories, from both commercial and independent publishers. Gradually, a parallel selection of imported books from various genres developed. I like to think that what made it different was that, along with the fact that I always try to be very transparent and natural in everything I do: no hyped influencers, no TikTok narratives, no fancy marketing jargon, just simple dialogue. We want the books to be the stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_4354-copy-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195271 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_4354-copy-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_4354-copy-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_4354-copy-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_4354-copy-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_4354-copy-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/errr-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_4354-copy-scaled.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 768px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 768\/1024;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What part of the day, space, or creative process do those who work here enjoy the most?<\/strong><br>The selection of books.
