We just learned that book designer Debbie Berne died at the end of 2025. Debbie was bright and funny with a keen eye for design. She was also a former Green Apple bookseller that we held in the highest of esteem. Sending our condolences to those who loved her most ❤️🍏 oaklandside.org/2026/01/15/o...

We love this new project from @mcsweeneys.net that wants to get us off of social media and out in the world together. www.sanfranciscoisdead.com

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com
