When I walk in to a bookstore intending to pick up one book- it's a fairly regular occurrence to walk out with three or more. People that read tend to buy lots of books.
When I worked at Borders the music section did rather well, but I think the impetus was that the founders liked having music that they wanted to listen to and buy in the same place where they bought their books. The calendars were really a once a year item and the stationary section was non-existent, and almost no promo junk for sale. It has been a while since any of the local Borders were that way.
