*nodnodnod* being a B&N wage slave I am all too familiar with the stalker phenomena. I tell all the new girl employees: "You're not a true book girl till you've had your first stalker." KIDDING. Seriously though, there are more creepy, lonely, stalker guys out there than people realize. The ones I've encountered in the store aren't really evil perverts or anything, they just have no personal/social skills and occasionally are fuzzy on the concept of 'personal space'.
If it happens again, grab a manager and let them do the confrontational stuff, even though they may not want to, but that's what they're there for. Or in some cases, the manager will call a cop if the stalker-guy isn't being cooperative, it's happened in my store before. :)
