Oakland Review of Books is a new publication featuring writing about, for, and from Oakland. Join the editorial team for a holiday party where they'll introduce themselves, tell you about their whole deal, and also deliver an informative and very brief lecture on what Herb Caen thought about Oakland. The best part? An Oakland-themed Secret Santa. Bring a piece of Oakland paraphernalia -- a book, a pamphlet, an old-school souvenir, anything worth less than $20 -- and you'll get to exchange it for someone else's piece of Oakland history. Don't have anything? You can come and buy an Oakland book from a display at East Bay Booksellers next door.
