We now have signed copies available of Every Tool's a Hammer: Life is What You Make It, signed in-person by author Adam Savage at our May 14th, 2019 event with him at DNA'S Comedy Lab in Santa Cruz, California.
“Adam has drawn for us an imperative how-to for creativity that goes well beyond scissors, saws, and glue, to include vulnerability, self-confidence, and self-deprecating humor. I am aware of no human outside of fiction more qualified to pen this rousing paean to making. I adore this book.”–Nick Offerman
We have signed copies available of This Time Will Be Different, signed on a tip-in page by author Misa Sugiura.
"Historic injustices are often treated as lacking any contemporary impact, but this book disabuses anyone suffering under that delusion. In modern-day Silicon Valley, the internment of their Japanese-American ancestors affects protagonist CJ Katsumaya and her family, though they (believably) don’t see eye to eye about it. This historical interconnectedness coupled with CJ’s evolution from an apathetic antihero (wave goodbye to the “model minority” myth) into a woke person of action, makes this book a compelling and thought-provoking read." - Stephanie, Bookshop Santa Cruz Head Children's Buyer

We have signed copies available of Disappearing Earth, signed on a tip-in page by author Julia Phillips.
"Julia Phillips is an author to watch. She beautifully transports us to a region of the world, the Kamchatka Peninsula in Northern Russia, that I had never heard of and now can’t stop thinking about. The stories of the women there—their family dynamics, their hopes and fears, the economic and cultural divide of various communities—are not only about this place but ultimately about the universal struggle women have in determining how to live with the expectations placed on them as women. A remarkable debut." - Casey, Bookshop Santa Cruz Owner
