EVENT: ART BOOK SHOW & TELL

Time to show off all those gorgeous books you've got hiding away on your shelves! Join us in Oakland this Saturday, January 9th and in New York City this Thursday, January 14th for an evening of sharing and exploring beautiful books. Bring 2 or 3 favorite art books from your own collection (photography, design, architecture, fashion, it's all welcome!), and let others browse them as you make new discoveries from their libraries. This isn't a presentation- just a casual evening of book browsing, music, refreshments and new friends. 6:30-8:30 PM. See you there!

Oakland event: January 9th, 6:30-8:30 PM at Book/Shop Oakland. 482 D 49th Street. 

New York event: January 14th, at Sleepy Jones, 25 Howard St. in Manhattan. Time to be announced.
