I can't help myself
I don't know what makes me do it: An intrinsic need for order? My undergraduate job at the library? My former job as a bookseller and clerk? Or the fact that I'm your agent and want your books to sell?
Whatever the reason, if I rep your book and it's currently in stock at the Borders in Folsom, California, it's definitely sitting FACE OUT on the shelves today.
Not only that I probably tidied up the entire section. Heck, I do that anyways. I worry that the clerks are going to ask me to "step away from the books."
What struck me yesterday, some wonderful backlist placements: about 25 copies of The Elegant Universe, and about the same for Into the Wild. I love both books and think that's just great.
Tell all your friends to visit your books in the store often, and if there's room, take advantage, shelve them face out!

You rep The Elegant Universe? I loved that.

Gosh, no, I didn't rep the Elegant Universe, I believe John Brockman has that honor. I just love the book.
