You know that saying about a kid in a candy store? Authors in bookstores aren't much different. Don't worry, though, Rebecca Makkai offers advice for navigating the aisles: "March to your alphabetical shelf. If you've done this enough, you know where your book should be just by scanning for the landmarks. You're always about two inches to the left of the bestseller with the trippy yellow spine, and a few inches to the right of the Pulitzer winner with the naked sailor."
