Back to our hardboiled roots. Guys, this book is only 115 pages long. If you have a severe phobia of finishing books, look no further.

Really looking forward to this one— the movie is supposed to be a stone cold classic, directed by Billy Wilder with a screenplay written by Raymond Chandler.

Books are in the usual staff picks spot at Beers.

This July 11th take a deep dive with Beers Books as we are joined by Ellen Litwiller & Josie Iselin, in conversation with Marni Fylling, to discuss their wonderful book “The Mysterious World of the Bull Kelp Forest”, available now from the great Heyday Books! Event starts as 7PM.

“A mesmerizing tour of our underwater forests and what they can teach us.
Offshore and out of sight to most beachgoers on the North Pacific coast is a wondrous habitat: the bull kelp forest. Each year, tiny bull kelp saplings explode into sixty-foot “redwoods,” until winter storms tear them loose and fling great tangles of wrack on the shore. While they flourish, these underwater forests harbor abalone, salmon, and rockfish, and they entreat cormorants and murrelets to hunt among their thrumming canopies. Meanwhile, fluffy-furred otters and pizza-sized sea stars gorge on spiny urchins who, if left to run rampant, will devour a kelp bed down to barren wasteland. In The Mysterious World of the Bull Kelp Forest, Josie Iselin profiles thirteen species—with stylish illustrations from Ellen Litwiller—to be our ambassadors to this undersung world. She explores how their interspecies dramas play out in eight coastal regions, from Alaska to central California, exploring instances of interdependent, compromised, and resilient coastal ecosystems. An array of sea creatures feature in these pages, as well as shorebirds that connect land and sea. Land-dwelling humans are also deeply implicated in this saga—by turns beneficiaries, agents of harm, and stewards of these subtidal sanctuaries.”

Beers Books is proud to announced an in store event at 6pm, June 27th with William Burg to discuss his classic “Southside Park” book.

“Sacramento’s Southside Park tells the story of the neighborhood known as the “League of Nations” in the early 20th Century for its diverse community of immigrants and migrants, a working class community connected by streetcars, corner stores, churches, and community institutions. Centered on a park that gave the neighborhood its name and built from a swamp, Southside Park faced challenges with flood control, industrial pollution, racism and discrimination, redevelopment and disruption by highway construction. Despite these challenges, the neighborhood persevered, building strong community ties and celebrating its diversity around the pond and bandstand of Southside Park.

First published in 2007, author William Burg wrote Sacramento’s Southside Park at the urging of Al Balshor, who was born and grew up in Southside. The book was drawn from more than a dozen interviews with neighborhood residents, and illustrated with photos from the Center for Sacramento History, California State Library, Western Railway Museum, Sacramento State University and University of Southern California archives. This author talk will feature stories from the book, and the story behind the book, accompanied by historic photos from the book and other images of the neighborhood obtained in the subsequent 20 years.”
