My partner and I wrote an article about our quest to complete the Seattle Independent Bookstore Day Passport Challenge entirely on transit. You can read it at the Urbanist. It has absolutely nothing to do with programming! Read on for some photos we took that didn’t make it into the article:

Three shelves filled with colorful books, covers facing out. One shelf has a 'New Releases' label made of Scrabble tiles. More shelves in the background. Some titles: Upward Bound, Last Night in Brooklyn, Dear Monica Lewinsky
The shelves at Madison Books

A bookshelf, full of colorful books, including Memoirs of Hadrian, The City & The City, Thomas and Beulah. Taped to the bottom of the shelf, a pen-and-ink drawing taped to it of a man dressed like a movie theater attendant with a dazed expression standing behind a popcorn machine. In the drawing, a sign in front of the man says 'Staff Picks'. Next to the drawing the shelf is labeled 'Recommended Reads'.
