On Tuesday morning July 30th, 2024 the building housing East Bay Booksellers burned down. The building was home to dozens of offices along with the bookstore.

It has also been a community home, an intellectual home, an artistic home and literary home for so many, for the last 30 years. In a beautiful old building from the '40s it was reimagined by the Wilsons to provide all of these services, inside its hollow-brick walls, and glorious wooden ceiling with clerestory windows.

As fellow booksellers, and as friends of Brad and the Bay Area reading community we are joining with others to hopefully raise some funds to help East Bay Booksellers' booksellers, Brad and the store find their way back to being the vital bookstore that it is.

Please donate what you can to rebuild this civil and cultural bookstore. We'll all appreciate it and don't know how it will happen without each of us.
