Staff at the Healdsburg store say vacation shoppers often ask for recommendations, which leads to top-selling fiction titles that don't appear on the best-sellers list of other Copperfield's store.

The No. 2 and 3 best-sellers in Healdsburg involve mixing drinks, "which is in keeping with the night life of the town and the visiting tourist vacation mode," according to a Copperfield's press release.
