I do Not discriminate against customers based on their race, religion, sexual orientation, or religion.
I also strongly believe in the Freedom to Read, but want to make clear that as a bookseller operating in the public sphere that it is my policy to Not actively buy, sell or trade any material which promotes Racism or Hate towards any group.
As a bookseller I love what I do - I love the conversations I have with customers about preparing food, collecting recipes, family traditions, reaching out to people world wide! I sell books, manuscripts and ephemeral material to patrons through the store’s website, at various book fairs, and when people visit the store by appointment.

Yesterday I visited The Photography of Modernist Cuisine at The Tech Museum in downtown San Jose.
Nathan Myhrvold and his team have zoomed up to blueberries, kernels of rice, slowed down the cracking of a fried egg as well as the mesmerizing process of coffee grinding. I particularly enjoyed seeing the cut-aways of a Viking range, microwave oven, blender and pressure cooker. This exhibit is free through September 1st.
