Page One bookstore is a paradise for Beijing's book lovers, especially for readers of the English language, lovers of design and art books, and purveyors of children's literature. This central Sanlitun location is easily the most convenient for the English-speaking audience.

Since last month's soft opening of the store, Page One in Sanlitun seems to have the magnetism appeal required to fill the store with customers. For now, it's what people expect a good bookstore to be - a pleasant environment filled with a well-chosen variety of texts.

The soft opening stage gives the Page One team time to iron out problems and prepare their literary events schedule. Also, the accompanying Woodhouse Café is still unfinished and will not start serving lattes until the grand opening.

At that time, Page One Sanlitun will also become the city's first 24-hour bookstore - on weekends at least. The average book buyer may not need to buy Jane Austen at 4:53 a.m., but there's no denying that Sanlitun club kids can stay out until the sun comes up. At 5:12 a.m., a book on the works of M. C. Escher may not sober them up, but it will certainly add depth to the process.
