About the UPB Post
We intend this UPB Post to be a kind of BERKELEY READS forum, a place where we and our intellectual friends can project what we find in books.
You can blog here, too, by sending not more than 300 words to us at this email address.
Occasionally we will post a cri de coeur for the fate of books and our bookstore, seeking respect and support.

And an occasional joie de vie as there is so much good life in the books we carry and in this place.

A smudge on the lens of the house camera rendered most images useless, but something about the one below seems almost right as Malcolm Margolin sometimes describes himself as lost in a cloud of metaphors for his love of Heyday and publishing, and Lynne Withey sternly reminded us that university publishing is a business.
