The experience reminded me of a quote from The Wall Street Journal's James B. Stewart that I cited in my editor's note in Book Business' September/October 2010 issue. In that quote, Stewart talked about new opportunities for independent booksellers and the importance of their role in fostering communities of book lovers. I felt this particular bookstore was putting Stewart's theory into practice. Of course, it is easy to connect and engage with other bibliophiles online, and the recent launch of Google's eBookstore will further facilitate the discovery of book titles via the Internet (see this issue's "Digital Directions" column on page 34 for in-depth analysis of the eBookstore launch)—but I believe there are aspects of an in-store experience that cannot be replicated online, and I hope more bookstores continue to capitalize on them.
