Interview & Photographs by Megan Svensson.
"If you love books, you can imagine how fun it would be to have a bookshop all to yourself. Liz Pollock, owner of the Cook’s Bookcase, let me live that dream by inviting me into her cozy home store that specializes in food literature of all kinds.

The Seasoned Collector, "Cookbook Alert". By Steven Wayne Yvaska.
Widely acclaimed antiques and collectibles authority Steven Yvaska, author of "The Seasoned Collector" column in the Mercury News, recently wrote about our bookstore!
Last month, Clarissa Dickson Wright died at the age of 66. Dickson Wright, as some of you may recall, was the heftier of the "Two Fat Ladies" -- a widely watched BBC show about cooking sinfully decadent, delectable food. The series, popular in the 1990s on both sides of the Atlantic, spawned a number of cookbooks eagerly sought after by collectors.
One possible source for works by Dickson Wright is the Cook's Bookcase, an online bookstore headquartered in Santa Cruz. In business since 2007, owner Liz Pollock specializes in ephemera, including out-of-print and author-signed books related to cookery and wine. Details: 831-251-9218, www.cooksbookcase.com.
