Featured Bookstore - Reader's Books, Sonoma, CA

 

This is the first of an irregular feature in which I thank a bookstore in which one of my many spies has spotted A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth on display.

Today it's Readers Books in Sonoma, CA, as patronised by Patricia Dusenbury, whose photo this is. Thank you Patricia, and thank you Readers Books!

I'm always happy to ZOOM in to any bookstore and talk about my book. I did that for Aunties' Books in Spokane, WA, and they seem to have enjoyed it. So don't be shy -  Just ask.
