Sisyphus was born in Zunyi in 1993, and the name of the store is derived from Greek mythology, which represents a cycle of futile activities, and also has the meaning of "awe-inspiring". The proprietor claims that this is a portrayal of the book industry, and that this set of arguments is considered unworthy of the name compared to Sisyphus's chain compound style. However, before 1997, Sisyphus was actually called a book club, and its style was also a small bookstore full of personality, which was fully worthy of the extended meaning of "Sisyphus".
The chain of Sisyphus has achieved remarkable results. It has more than 60 branches in China, each with a similar area and layout, with the library area accounting for 80% and 20% of the operating area reserved for Vector Coffee. The area of the cultural and creative area is not large, which is in stark contrast to the sky of cats, and in the bookstore that pays attention to appearance, Sisyphus is more in the intention book itself.
The store recommends books based on sales rankings, and also regularly launches books with low discounts. In addition to placing books of the same category on the same shelf, Sisyphus also classifies them twice between levels and makes different color labels. Cue cards are also quite complete, appearing at the top, middle, and ground of the shelves. The ground at the entrance is a clear and clear layout of the overall layout, indicating life, psychology, literature, etc., and customers can often find the target book without sound.
When it comes to book selection, Sisyphus appears to be somewhat "omnivorous". The books recommended by the prime book space are portrayals of the books in the store, often with portraits of celebrities, or with words such as "brief history", "workplace" and "quick learning". In contrast, the works in the literary district are relatively stable, although they appear to be a panacea.
Fuji Life is the cultural and creative area of Sisyphean, and its product appearance is literary and artistic, which is very popular nowadays, but the brand and quality are inferior to those of Shijian Deer and Things. Fuji Life and the Book Zone are interdependent, and in the case of book purchases, cultural and creative products can usually enjoy discounts. Vector Coffee is divided into the library area, which is a consumer seat, which is quieter than the library area, and is an ideal reading place in the store.
