In the Recommended section

I stopped by the Boulder Book Store last week to see Practically Shameless in the Recommended section. The section consists of 3 cases
along the left side of the front of the store, just past a case of recommended children's books.

Each book in this section has a tag hanging over the shelf beneath it indicating whether it's been recommended by staff or by customers. The tags are large enough to obscure the tops of the books below, so that the books with titles farther down the front cover are most visible.

The tag below Practically Shameless features one of the wonderful customer review posted at the book's Amazon.com page:

"A compelling personal journey through courageous self-discovery and growth that was hard to put down. Alyce travels through her life, revealing her growing inner struggles to escape from her 'box.' She hides nothing. Someone has finally written a book on the pervasive shame that shrouds everyday lives in America." – Mary Walilko, small business owner

I've drawn a circle around the book's position on the shelf, since that's next to impossible to see in the photo above. The man standing in the foreground is reading something else. There were 5 copies on the shelf, meaing that most likely 5 copies have sold. One copy was purchased by a woman who has decided to attend my May Shadow Work weekend here in Boulder.

It's a kick to see my work in a bookstore, and especially in a store as classy as Boulder Book Store on Boulder's Pearl Street Mall.
