NEW RELEASE:
“These Are My Flowers: Raising a Family on the Big Sur Coast --- Letters of Nancy Hopkins”
is based on letters Nancy wrote to her parents in Berkeley after she married Sam Hopkins and moved into their new home on Partington Ridge in 1948. As such, it offers a “slice of life” view of living in Big Sur in the 1950s, one woman’s view of her world and her time. Henry Miller and his wife Lepska, the children, Valentine and Tony, and later Henry's fourth wife Eve, were close neigbors of whom Nancy writes. More here.

How do I get to the Library? Well, most people drive, some people drive large vehicles, others drive small. We like the people who take along three or more people in each car; our favorite people are the ones who take the bus! That's why we're offering a whoopin' 25% discount - it's like, just like...a mini...mall!) on all book purchases in our bookstore. All you need is a proof of having come down the coast by bus. Public transportation is a matter of politics here on the West and we'd like to show where we think the cupboard should be placed. We also think you'd enjoy the ride. Bus schedule here! Click on "Big Sur Service"
(The Library is only ten minutes walk past the end station at Nepenthe)
