The inaugural California Bookstore Day in 2014 was designed to pay homage to and celebrate independent bookstores. The special day includes special events at many of the participating bookstores below. California book lovers can stop into their favorite local participating store to enjoy a number of planned community-oriented literary events. While there, they can also purchase exclusive, CBD-only books and book-related items from authors such as Neil Gaiman, George Saunders, Don DeLillo, Lemony Snicket, Michael Pollan, Lisa Brown and many others. These books and items are not available anywhere else on any other day. Visitors to their favorite participating bookstore can expect to enjoy everything from giveaways to parties, food trucks to fortune telling.
