In reply to Katie @ Words For Worms. Isn't that crazy clever?! And much less likely to be a disaster than a real blind date (don't get me started).

It’s been a while since I’ve been in my alma mater’s bookstore, but I’m pretty confident it isn’t THIS COOL. Love love love the blind date books!

I had no idea the UW bookstore was so nest! You had me at the Moleskine counter, and the blind book idea is great. And I think a Clinique counter works well- maybe it helps them make a profit. And professors benefit, too, not just students. Next timr I’m up there this is on my list!

I just visited University Book Store while in Seattle for ABA’s Winter Institute. What a treat! We booksellers spent the day touring independent bookstores all over Seattle, and they were all wonderful — but I particularly enjoyed University Book Store. Can’t wait to implement some of their wonderful ideas! (Although our little store does not have room for a makeup counter . . .)

You have a wonderful blog!

In reply to Tanya. Maybe so, Tanya, but young women today are different- more money from Mom and Dad maybe? And it was set up nicely in its own space away from the book section. For me, it worked.

In reply to Shannon @ River City Reading. Sorry about B&N but I have heard good things about your indie scene. I have to say, this store was so fun and exhilarating it made me think about working there (something I swore I'd never do after just 3 months at B&N).

In reply to Jenny @ Reading the End. It's one of the great things about Seattle- these people believe in books!

In reply to Jennine G.. I wish my bookstore had even have of this stuff but as a small Jesuit school we didn't have many options.

In reply to Cynthia Robertson. Some people think they shouldn't venture out of book territory but in this case it is such an inviting place. I'm already planning my next visit!
