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.

Unpacking My Library: Architects and Their Books, Edited by Jo Steffens, Yale University Press, 2009, $20 cloth
A delightful set of meditations and lists (along with striking images of their heavily laden shelves and a gem of an essay by Walter Benjamin: “Unpacking My Library”) by several renowned contemporary architects who view their vocations and their passionate relations with printed volumes as bound up with a kindred aesthetic obsession, and for whom form, function and content (and contentment) are most happily wedded in the experience of their beloved beautiful books. Peter Johnstone, UPB Frontman
