Over the weekend, your librarian attended the trade show of the Northern California Independent Booksellers Association - a Thoreau Center tenant who kindly invited me to come along. The NCIBA is a trade organization dedicated to supporting, nurturing and promoting independent retail bookselling in California, and there were plenty of booksellers, publishers, sales reps, and authors there - nearly a hundred exhibitors according to my show program, but they might have a more precise number for you. Of particular interest was that almost every publisher, no matter how big or small and regardless of focus had at least one book about green living or eating or construction or something along those lines. The library received some book donations from Cypress House, Lost Coast Press, Algonquin Books, Bloomsbury Press, Earthscan, and Tachyon Publications, and made some friendly connections with other local publishers. Congratulations to NCIBA. More pictures:
