Shanghai Book Mall reopens on Oct 28 after a two-year refurbishment project. Shanghai Book Mall, arguably the largest bookstore in the city, celebrated its reopening on Saturday, after a refurbishment project that kept it closed for two years. "My parents used to bring me to the book mall and let me pick the books that I wanted when I was a kid, so I decided to bring my own daughter and hope she can find the same joy of reading like I did," one customer said, as she browsed through the picture books section on the fourth floor with her 5-year-old daughter on the first day of business at the newly refurbished bookstore. The large mall, unprecedented in China at the time, equipped with the latest computerized search system changed the widely accepted national perception of bookstores, which were usually street-side shops of about 100 sq m. "Quite a few other cities followed suit and built their own large-scale bookstores with similar structures and business models as Shanghai Book Mall."
