book store blues
In the last week or so, two stores where I've shopped for years are going through closure/changes. Makes me sad, but that's business. Sigh ...
A Clean Well-Lighted Place for Books in San Francisco.
Cody's Books, the original store on Telegraph in Berkeley.
Both had wonderful author events. ACWLPB memories include: local boy who made good, B.D. (Brad) Wong, at his memoir-signing; David Foster Wallace; William Gibson; my third cousin (or something like that) Julie Otsuka; and the kid-book event for They Might Be Giants. Cody's: Colson Whitehead; Dan Simmons; Neil Gaiman; Margaret Cho.
