The map shows a bookstore in 2000 and now
The map illustrates the evolution of a bookstore's layout from the year 2000 to the present day. A comparative analysis reveals a significant reconfiguration of various sections, notably a reduction in the area allocated to fiction, which has been supplanted by new facilities and sections.
Commencing with the left side of the entrance, the original fiction area has undergone a notable transformation, segmenting into four distinct categories: Art, Hobbies, Cookery, and Fiction. This diversification enhances the variety available to customers. Furthermore, the upper right section, which initially housed a dedicated fiction area, has now been occupied by a Non-Fiction section. In contrast, the Travel section, located directly opposite the entrance, has remained unchanged over the years, indicating a stable demand for this genre.
On the right side of the entrance, the sections for New Books and the Service Desk have retained their original positions. However, a Non-Fiction area that existed in 2000 has been converted into a café, reflecting a shift towards a more leisure-oriented experience for patrons. Additionally, the middle section, which previously included Cookery, Hobbies, and Art areas, has transitioned into a cluster of tables, providing customers with spaces to sit, relax, or read while enjoying their visit to the bookstore.
