We made up an event to get Brad Johnson from East Bay Booksellers and Stephen Sparks from Pt. Reyes Books to tell us what books coming out in the fourth quarter are actually interesting. Perhaps it is an excuse and a vehicle for the two of them to put together a good holiday catalog, as opposed to the dull, commodified one that the book industry trade folk try to make them sell on.
