Traveling Through a Bookstore - Lunchtime Walks

I'm using my lunchtime walks more frequently now as opportunities to have discussions with small business owners.  It's amazing how much information we can bounce off of each other about running a business and managing a site in just a few minutes.

Today I met Dan Webb, of Dan Webb - Books, a bookstore near downtown Oakland.  We chatted about the mysteries of driving traffic to websites.  Something that seems to be working out for him to attract a few site visitors is when he posts new books for sale on his site.  He mentioned that some titles do better than others when they're picked up by the search engines.

The title that grabbed me today in his brick and mortar "site" was The Vegetarian Table: Japan, by Victoria Wise.

Thanks for the book and the chat, Dan!
