A sneak peek inside New York City's first book bookstore

Amazon plans to open two real bookstores in New York, this time it is the first shop to open in the shopping center "The Shops at Columbus Circle". The shopping center is a building located southwest of Central Park, and it is a complex such as shops, restaurants, hotel offices, etc.


Amazon Books is on the third floor, next to Thomas Keller's Bouchon Bakery.


The entrance of the store is like this.


The first store that we opened in Seattle is entirely building, but since it was Amazon Books, the impression is quite different.

However, the atmosphere is the same. As soon as you enter the shop, online "Amazon" has 4.8 "high rating" books line up. In addition, the contents of reviews etc. are written under each book.


The categorization of the book was also unique, there was also a shelf "Kindle finished reading within 3 days".


Also, when you buy a book at Amazon, you will see recommended recommendations based on the information of the book you purchased, but this is also reproduced on the shelf. In the following pictures, I point to the autobiography of Earon Mask with the arrow "If you like this ...", and next to it is indicated the recommended book by the arrow "I like this too".


What is distinctive is that there are no books pointing the back cover to the customer, all the cover is oriented. It seems that this was demonstrating the effect of ease of view especially on the shelves of cooking books. There are over 3000 books in the Amazon Books of The Shops at Columbus Circle, but because of this display method, there is no impression that "Tightly books are lining up".


An example of a title card is as follows. First of all there is a customer review, below which the title, author, number of stars etc are shown. However, the price is not listed anywhere. This is because Amazon prime members and general people may have different prices. All books are the same as online selling prices on Amazon.


A barcode reader is installed in the shop and you can check the price etc.


Also, in addition to books, devices such as Kindle and Amazon Echo, as well as goods handled by Amazon are also included.


When purchasing, arrange it at checkout OK. However, there is no cashier, payment can be done only with credit card or Amazon application.


Look at the price and buy a book using Amazon application without using a scanner from the following.

When you read the barcode stated on the card under the book or the barcode stated in the book from Amazon's app, information such as the price of the book is displayed.


Line up at checkout ......


At the time of accounting, the QR code displayed on the application is displayed. If a clerk reads the QR code with a scanner, you can purchase a book without money exchange.
