It's a small store, so we really have to figure out where things are going to go.

And do we even have space for all of these things?

The second question is, how many am I going to bring in?

Am I going to bring in one because it's important to be represented on the shelf, but it's not necessarily going to fly off the shelf?

So you'll notice when you look at the spines, you can see it stands out when there's two copies of something.

People are more likely to be like, oh, they've got more copies of that.

I wonder what that is.

Yes.

It is the Holy Grail, getting on the display table.

Yes, which would be the bestseller list.

It is the shelf right behind you.

And that is the changing of the bestsellers.

Every Sunday, we look at our two lists, our ABA Indie bestsellers and our New York Times bestsellers, and we remove anything that has fallen off those lists that is no longer a bestseller.

We take it off, we put it back on the shelf, and then we see anything that has joined the list, and we need to pull it off of its appropriate shelf and add it to the bestseller list.

Exactly.

And then there's usually what I would call a dad book.

It was The Wager by David Grand for a long time.

Now it's The Gales of November by John Eupakin.

I'm kind of the last person before it gets to the store.

So I am the last gatekeeper because I decide whether we're even going to have it in the store or not.
