They do all the good stuff- two display tables, a staff recommendation section at the front of the store, putting books in more than one category, putting elated categories next to each other. I particularly like the table and the staff recommendations. I have trouble navigating the huge fiction section unless I'm looking for a specific piece so I'm more inclined to pick a book that has been singled out. In related news, the author of The Same Smile is from my neighborhood so for awhile she was prominently featured at the same bookstore.

That's the article that got trashed in Slate. He pretty much said that I was representative of the bastardization of yoga in the West. My mother was so proud. Thanks Mia!
