It is hard to believe but this year Bookshop Santa Cruz is celebrating our 50th anniversary. From the paperback revolution to the earthquake to the fight against national chain bookstores with thousands of author events along the way, Bookshop has much to remember and to celebrate. All year long we have been celebrating with festivities to chronicle our history, thank our customers, and acknowledge the books that made it all possible (see links below). And now it's time to culminate our celebration of community bookselling in the community that we love!
