Featured in Sunset Magazine November 2008

Flip through the pages of the November 2008 issue of Sunset Magazine, which highlights various things to do in Midtown Sacramento, and you might recognize this picture--one of the coziest corners here at the bookstore.

We agree, if you're looking for something to do,
we're definitely worth checking out!

Peter's Pick(s) O'The Week

Soto Zen Buddhist Lin Jensen made an appearance here at the store this last Sunday. Peter enjoyed the discussion so much, he gives any of Jensen's books, Bad Dog!, Pavement and Together Under One Roof, his green pick of approval. (I know you can't see that it's green, but trust me, it is.)

As you can see, he also eagerly posed for this picture--just so you could see how serious he is about his recommendation, and of course, as he would say, "to increase your temptation to buy a book".

Under Our Roof: Soto Zen Buddhist, Lin Jensen

Sunday, October 26, 2008
3 p.m.




LIN JENSEN is the critically acclaimed author of the memoir Bad Dog! A Memoir of Love, Beauty, and Redemption in Dark Places and Pavement: Reflections on Mercy, Activism, and Doing "Nothing" for Peace, a fearless and funny account of curbside social action. His most recent book, Together Under One Roof: Making a Home of the Buddha’s Household is his newest book.

Jensen will be reading and discussing from each of his books, which will be available for purchase at the store.

William Burg talks about Sacramento on October 16

We are pleased to welcome William Burg back to Time Tested Books for a presentation on his new book Sacramento: Then & Now. Sacramento... is a collection of photographs from Sacramento's past and present, juxtaposed so the reader gets an idea of how far the Capital City has come (or fallen...depending on your POV). Burg comments on the photographs with wit and insight, providing vital historical context. If you've read Burg's writing in the Midtown Monthly you know that he is a thorough and entertaining writer and pretty much the unofficial historian of post-Gold Rush Sacramento.

The event starts at 7 p.m. and is free. A book signing follows, Burg's presentation. Copies of Sacramento: Then & Now are available at Time Tested Books.
