Why are these people dancing?

The past few weeks saw several local Indie bookstores in the San Francisco Bay Area celebrate their anniversaries.  While the overall climate for independent booksellers continues to be tough, we are happy to report that many brave souls are successfully finding innovative ways to differentiate their local neighborhood stores.  

Here are some of the booksellers who recently celebrated their birthdays:

  • Booksmith on Haight Street in San Francisco (30th anniversary)
  • Modern Times on Valencia in San Francisco (35th anniversary)
  • BookShop in Santa Cruz (40th anniversary)
  • Book Passage in Corte Madera (30th anniversary)


So, we say cheers to the fighters and survivors.   May you be around for another hundred years.  And we celebrate your special day with you and the communities you serve so well.

I love the second clip of dancing in the streets at Modern Times. And the Japanese band is so cool - what's their name?
