Head directly to the third floor, which is reserved for imported publications. Classics perpetually roost on the shelves of this state-owned shop, but bestsellers, biographies, and decent books about China also make the cut (though don't expect to read anything on the Tiananmen Square incidents). Find maps, Chinese-language learning materials, and children's books here, too, as well as a Starbucks on the ground floor.
