  Some of the China's biggest cities already have many similarly 'over-designed' bookstores in which people went there mostly for touring/sightseeing purpose than buying actual books (since it is easier and cheaper to buy online or read e-books). I am also wondering what is the future of offline bookstore in general.

Stationery is one of those things people like purchasing in person, because they like unique pretty stationery
