SUMMARY:Book Passage at 40!
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a day of fun and celebration: \n10:00 am\nWe’re starting off with the kids\, inviting them to come up and read stories they have written or whatever they feel like reading. Among the many who will be there reading\, we expect the kids from INK to be there with their first book Dragon Mist and its new sequel. Come hear some of our local students read their work! We are showcasing the writers of tomorrow as part of our 40th Anniversary celebration. This is entirely selfish on our part. We’re hope that they will get the feel for how much fun it is to read in front of a bookstore audience. If so\, they might just be coming back for years to come with books they have written. Time will be limited. So please contact Joy (joy@bookpassage. com) to let us know you will be a reader! (But we warn you! Famous authors have told us it could be habit-forming.) \n3:00 pm\nIn the afternoon there will be a reception in the café for Tom Killion’s new collection of graphic arts that will be displayed both in the cafe and the gallery. Tom Killion is a native of Marin County who has been producing acclaimed Japanese-style woodcut prints of the California landscape for over forty years. Killion has created over 400 relief prints\, and has produced five handmade art books depicting landscapes from California to Europe and Africa. Killion’s most recent book\, California’s Wild Edge\, is a fresh collaboration with Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gary Snyder. \n4:00 pm\nIsabel Allende\, Anne Lamott and Don George will speak about the history of the bookstore and what it means to them and the community. Following that there will be a slide presentation about the store (shamelessly heaped in nostalgia!). And following that\, we will break out the bubbly and celebrate \nAnd here’s where you can help!\nWe are asking our friends to bring a “not too used” book to donate to our Hospice Used Book department. We will be donating a portion of the day’s new book sales to Hospice to help support their wonderful programs.

SUMMARY:WHEN WE RISE Publication Launch
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the launch of Cleve Jones‘ new memoir and get your signed copies! \nHosted by Juanita More\nDJ Tweaka Turner \nFood from Harvey’s\, Catch\, and Le Mediterranee. \nBy turns tender and uproarious\, When We Rise is Jones’ account of his remarkable life. He chronicles the heartbreak of losing countless friends to AIDS\, which very nearly killed him\, too; his co-founding of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation during the terrifying early years of the epidemic; his conception of the AIDS Memorial Quilt\, the largest community art project in history; the bewitching story of 1970s San Francisco and the magnetic spell it cast for thousands of young gay people and other misfits; and the harrowing\, sexy\, and sometimes hilarious stories of Cleve’s passionate relationships with friends and lovers during an era defined by both unprecedented freedom and possibility\, and prejudice and violence alike. \nWhen We Rise is not only the story of a hero to the LQBTQ community\, but the vibrantly voice memoir of a full and transformative American life–an activist whose work continues today. \nPreorder on Amazon today! \nhttps://www.amazon.com/When-We-Rise-Life-Movement/dp/0316315435
