Interesting phenomenon. It's too early to announce a pattern, of course, but to date the best days here in the shop also have been the gloomiest in terms of weather. Bright days—not soul in sight, not a sale to record. Fog, freezing temps, gray—and the stream of bookshoppers doesn't quit. This bodes well for winter, I think.

Today I saw my first repeat customers, and my first very Christian family. The little girl was thrilled to buy her first Holy Bible with her own money, and Dad bought Dr. Laura's commentary on the ten commandments. No one seemed to mind that I've placed that section next to Occult/Wicca...

The best part of every day is that each person who walks through the door for the first time almost always says, "It's so exciting to finally have a book store here to go to!"
