      I found this walking section at Powell's bookstore in Cedar Hills Crossing Mall in        OR. It was below the running section. I applaud the efforts of seeing a few walking books here but I found it lacking in the diversity of walking books that have been written. Of course many are found in hiking sections but if it was up to me I would stock this with many walking memoirs and recent long distance hikes and walks. It is a start. I don't see many walking sections in bookstores.
