According to a 2005 report by OURs (the "Organization of Urban Re-s"), in the tiny one-kilometer radius area of Kungkuan there are nearly 40 bookstores. Other than the big chains like Eslite, Kingstone, and Linking, most are small, independent stores with specific themes.
根據「OURs 都市改革組織」在 2005 年的統計，方圓不到一公里的公館地區，聚集了近 40 家書店，除了誠品、金石堂、聯經等大型連鎖書店，大部分都是各具主題、小資本經營的獨立書店。
