Do you remember that I took you to Napa Bookmine, a fabulous independent bookstore in Napa? Well, they celebrated their one-year anniversary this weekend, and Dad and I stopped by to help them celebrate by trading and purchasing books! These are the books we took home for our library:
Five poetry books:
Three history books:
A journal and memoir by two writers:
A memoir by a writer among major 20th century artists:
Son, do you remember that I introduced you to the bookstore workers (I can't recall whether it was Elayna or Naomi you met) and that I emphasized that you must always be good to the bookstore workers you meet during your life? I meant it -- here is an article I wrote about Napa Bookmine after my first visit there.
Napa Bookmine also is primarily a used bookstore and their offerings -- and the variety we acquired at our visit -- show what's wonderful about used bookstores: you can't anticipate the gems you will discover!
Son, we hope you will always be at home in bookstores.
Love,
Mom and Dad
