This was back in June, but I just found out about it today:
"The sign, which included the phrases No Kings around the number 8647, was placed on display inside in the downtown bookstore last week ahead of the nationwide rallies on Saturday, said owner Naomi Chamblin. The number is a combination of 86, an old-school term for throw out or remove, with 47, which refers to Trumps position as the 47th president."
You can read about it here: https://napavalleyregister.com/news/napa-bookmine-threat-bookstore-sign-trump-no-kings/article_0cc7bfd2-15f1-48dc-81b8-102c64b1be7f.html
If you have any books you are thinking of getting, please consider getting them from them (https://napabookmine.com/). They do mail order, and Naomi's really cool. They are also threatened by a Barnes and Noble moving to Napa.

They seem to curate their stock very well.
