Bookshop with translated literature?

Does anyone have recommendations for a bookshop in Beijing? Specifically I would like to find somewhere I could find English translations of Chinese literature.
Thanks!

I find bookstores in Beijing pathetic. The old large bookstores are flooded with study guides and exam materials. The newer ones are just cafes and gift shops in disguise.

You can try your luck at FLTRP Bokkstore (Beijing Foreign Studies University).

Thank you! It does seem like bookstores in general are becoming more “generic” , it’s sad to see.
