导演侯季然以《书店里的影像诗》记录全台湾共40家独立书店样貌，今年8月将出版成书《书店本事》。
《书店里的影像诗》为4月18日上档的偶像剧《巷弄里的那家书店》延伸作品，4月7日起在奇摩影音首播，以各3分钟呈现40家书店，全长120分钟。
侯季然表示每家老板个性、风格也不同，他的拍摄手法也跟着变动，像拍了40部不同的短片。有的聚焦老板个人魅力，如『水平书局』老板曾大福边按计算机算折扣、边絮絮滔滔跟客人聊天推销书；『新手书店』老板郑宇庭只陈列100本书，每周汰换，书目都是他想推荐给「新手读者」的作品。有的则诉说动人故事，如台东的『晃晃书店』，店名来自一只因失聪而走路摇晃的猫，后来晃晃车祸丧生，伤心的老板罗素萍广邀客人寄回拍过的晃晃照片等。
侯季然笑称：“拍完才知开书店是辛苦、一点也不浪漫的行业，也庆幸这些书店为连锁店满街的台湾保留了文化多样性。”

84, Charing Cross Road is a charming record of bibliophilia, cultural difference, and imaginative sympathy. For 20 years, an outspoken New York writer and a rather more restrained London bookseller carried on an increasingly touching correspondence.
In her first letter to Marks & Co., Helene Hanff encloses a wish list, but warns, "The phrase 'antiquarian booksellers' scares me somewhat, as I equate 'antique' with expensive." Twenty days later, on October 25, 1949, a correspondent identified only as FPD let Hanff know that works by Hazlitt and Robert Louis Stevenson would be coming under separate cover.
When they arrive, Hanff is ecstatic -- but unsure she'll ever conquer "bilingual arithmetic." By early December 1949, Hanff is suddenly worried that the six-pound ham she's sent off to augment British rations will arrive in a kosher office. But only when FPD turns out to have an actual name, Frank Doel, does the real fun begin.
Two years later, Hanff is outraged that Marks & Co. has dared to send an abridged Pepys diary. "i enclose two limp singles, i will make do with this thing till you find me a real Pepys. THEN i will rip up this ersatz book, page by page, AND WRAP THINGS IN IT." Nonetheless, her postscript asks whether they want fresh or powdered eggs for Christmas. Soon they're sharing news of Frank's family and Hanff's career. No doubt their letters would have continued, but in 1969, the firm's secretary informed her that Frank Doel had died. In the collection's penultimate entry, Helene Hanff urges a tourist friend, "If you happen to pass by 84, Charing Cross Road, kiss it for me. I owe it so much."

总有一盏书店的灯光，等待温暖人心。
日本人对书店有两种称呼，“书店（shoten）”和“本屋（honya）”。前者比较书面，后者则偏口语，带着一种亲切感，我们通常会在“本屋”后面加上一个“桑”。我小时候，没事儿就老往离家不远的小书店跑。母亲听到门口穿鞋的动静，问我去哪儿，我总回答：“去本屋桑。”
可是长大后，“本屋桑”渐渐变少了。他们在哪儿呢，他们还好吗？
