Xuanke Club Style is an independent sub-brand of Xinhua Winshare Publishing & Media, positioned as a "city life parlor". Different from the serious Xinhua Winshare Bookstore, the Xuankehui Style Bookstore is mostly presented in front of the public with a small, fresh, literary and artistic image, and is more popular and favored by the younger generation. So far, there are 8 Xuanke Club Style Bookstores in Chengdu.
Officially opened in 2012, Xuankehui Style Bookstore is the first 24-hour bookstore in Sichuan. The bookstore has a considerable collection of books, mainly literature, art, and social science books, and a small number of original books in foreign languages, and novels are the best-selling varieties of books in the bookstore. Although the bookstore does not have a book retrieval system, it is fortunate that there is a clear classification of books, from large categories to small categories, and then subdivided by authors, which effectively shortens the time for readers to find books. In the setting of recommended books, bookstores will also make distinctions of different themes, such as "excellent Sichuan edition books", "new books", "Xuanke selected books" and so on. In terms of book selection, Xuanke Club Style Bookstore focuses on bestsellers and popular books, and there are not many niche books in the bookstore.
In order to better create the identity of a 24-hour bookstore, Xuanke Club Style Bookstore has increased night guards, provided table lamps and other equipment for night reading guests, and launched night drink packages, but the "one tea, one piece" regulations and expensive pricing have also made it quite controversial.
Reading isn't all there is to Steleclub Style Bookstore. In addition to reading, the bookstore also holds a variety of activities, such as salons held regularly every Friday, or writers' meet-and-greets, reading sharing sessions, and so on. It should be noted that the activities carried out by each branch are also different, and interested guests can follow the official account of Xuanke Club Style Bookstore in advance for the latest information.
