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.

Twain-a-mania
One hundred years after the death of Mark Twain, the publication of his autobiography by UC Press is looking like the publishing phenomenon of this new century. The excitement caught even UC Press by surprise as their first print run sold out, and they are churning out more as fast as they can. Here at UPB, we have just put a picture of the book’s cover on our bestseller table because we can’t keep enough copies of the book itself in stock! We are looking forward to our event with editor Benjamin Griffin on December 16th. For interesting background on the autobiography and the Bancroft Library’s Mark Twain Project, see http://www.eastbayexpress.com/ebx/mark-twains-last-stunt/Content?oid=2138536.
And this is just Volume One!
