Thank you for buying Harry Potter and the Half- blood Prince at an independent bookstore. Not only did we enjoy such a wonderful turnout at all three stores, we really enjoyed the costumes, the countdown to midnight, and the excitement of finally delivering the book.

Cranky Literary Journal
Poetry Event
Thursday, August 4th, 7pm
Cranky contributing poets Litsa Dremousis, Katie Flynn, Amy Miller, Hugh Steinberg, and Amy Schrader will read from their work at Pegasus Books Downtown, 2349 Shattuck, Berkeley, (510) 649-1320.

The City of Berkeley rolled out the big equipment last month and while we were quite concerned about the disruption on Solano Avenue, we are pleased to report that the project is going quickly and efficiently, with minimum inconvenience to the neighborhood and our customers. As a matter of fact, we think it's some of Berkeley's finest work. While upper Solano construction is scheduled to be completed August 8th, the street is always useable in the evenings and on weekends.

Are you a teacher? We have 2005 calendars we’d love to donate for use in your classrooms. Just show us some sort of ID or school stationery and we’ll be happy to hand you a sack-full.
