The maps compare the layout of a bookstore in 2000 with its current arrangement.
Overall, the bookstore has undergone significant changes. While some areas remain unchanged, such as the entrance, service desk, and the sections for travel and new books, several major alterations have been made to accommodate modern trends—most notably, the addition of a café and seating area.
In 2000, a large portion of the bookstore was dedicated to fiction books, occupying most of the top and right side. In the current layout, this section has been reduced and moved to the top right. The former space for non-fiction books in the bottom right has now been converted into a café.
The sections for art, hobbies, and cookery, which were previously located in the center of the store, have been relocated to the top row, replacing part of the former fiction section. Their original central location is now occupied by several tables and chairs, providing a seating area for customers.
In summary, the bookstore has shifted from a purely book-focused layout to a more customer-oriented space, offering amenities such as seating and refreshments alongside a more compact selection of books.
