Transplanting a Seattleite

That figure doesn't seem too weird to me. I go into bookstores all the time with no particular intention of buying anything, just because I enjoy browsing and, if it's a store that's new to me, getting a sense of their stock. Once in a while I end up buying something on such a trip (though quite often it's a case of "Oh, the new [favorite author] is in already, guess I'll get that," which is a sale that would have happened at some point anyway).
