We just learned that book designer Debbie Berne died at the end of December. We had the pleasure of hosting her for the release of her book The Design of Books in March 2024. She was fun, engaging, and had a great eye. Our condolences to those who loved her most. ❤️🍏 oaklandside.org/2026/01/15/o...

Saturday's black out made for a strange day here. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to shop and check in on us, for your kindness and patience as we kept everything going. Our power was restored in the wee hours of Sunday morning and we're open. The store is a great place to weather the storm. ❤️🍏

Hi all, we are open from 9-9 today and tomorrow, 9-6 on Wednesday. Come on down and say hi. If your power has not been restored yet, stay awhile! We have books and light (touch wood!) under which to read them.
