In the newly renovated Prince's Building, Central, there is a bookshop called Bookazine.
Customers should be warned before they walk in of the unspoken rules of the shop.
Items that are sealed in plastic bags will give people a big hint.
For the unsealed magazines and books, there is a 'five minutes' rule.
I was told by a shop assistant that customers cannot read the magazines or books for more than five minutes if they are not going to make a purchase.
And yes, the diligent shop assistant will definitely watch and count.
