This event will also feature the book launch of Foghorn: The Nearly True Story of a Small Publishing Empire by Vicki (Morgan) DeArmon. Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate our shared history and the enduring legacy of the Bay Area book industry.

In partnership with the California Independent Booksellers Alliance (CALIBA) and onsite bookseller Green Apple Books.
