To celebrate the first annual National Bookstore Day, Skylight Books has invited booksellers (buyers, owners, managers) from other SoCal bookstores to a unique "meet and greet" reception. You can say hello to old friends from other bookstores and learn about others. And to highlight the publication of the lovely new book, "Art of the Bookstore: The Bookstore Paintings of Gibbs Smith," in which a number of these stores are featured, they will sign copies of the book. At press time, the indie bookstores being represented so far are Skylight Books, Book Soup, Metropolis Books, Chaucer's in Santa Barbara, as well as two legendary indies which are now closed -- Doug Dutton of Dutton's Brentwood and Adele Wallace of Sisterhood Books.
