The Booksmith Bookswap, LITQUAKE Edition
Thursday, October 7
6:30 9:30 PM
EAT, DRINK, TALK, (SWAP) BOOKS!

Presented in collaboration with other independent bookstores, and with fabulous wordsmith guests Oscar Villalon, Holly Payne, K. M. Soehnlein, and many others.

What:
Join The Booksmith and other favorite independent bookstores for the only LITQUAKE event that celebrates YOU, the Reader. The Bookswap is a truly unique event: participants have the chance to reflect on their most treasured reads and learn about dozens of new, fantastic books; the evening culminates in a rowdy (and always entertaining) swap think cocktail party, with a bookish twist.

Since its inception last year, The Booksmith Bookswap has SOLD OUT every time and has received rave ("the most unique book eventever!"; "a great place to meet smart, creative, like-minded people") reviews from all who participate.

For LITQUAKE, bibliovores from across the city will convene at Martin Macks, a very fun Irish pub in the Haight Ashbury. We'll have: hilarious and interesting book-y conversation starters, amazing writers, wine and beer, and the best pub fare in all of San Francisco. Bring a book -- one you passionately love but can part with -- and we'll provide the rest.

Who:
You! This event is for anyone who has ever loved a book and craved the chance to convince more folks to read it. You'll also meet amazing writers, including Oscar Villalon, Holly Payne, and K. M. Soehnlein, and a big group of passionate readers like you.

Where:
Martin Macks, (1568 Haight Street, between Clayton and Ashbury)******LATE-BREAKING NEWS: DUE TO THE GIANTS' MOVE INTO THE PLAYOFFS, WE'LL NOT BE CONVENING AT MARTIN MACKS, BUT RATHER DOWN THE BLOCK AT THE BOOKSMITH!*********
