a) it has a romance section tucked away behind the stairs in the general fiction section, even though they don't admit to its existence on the directory board

desperance's "Bridge of Dreams" and "River of the World", one being face-out. I didn't have time to go upstairs and check whether there were copies in the sf&f section, which is where I would have *expected* to find them.
Adding to my unseemly joy, the other side of this nook was occupied by the erotica section, which happened to contain one of my rare dead tree credits, and thus I had the experience of seeing a book with my name in the ToC on the shelves in a high street bookstore. I think it's the first time for me in a high street bookstore, even though I've seen my anthology credits in specialist shops.
