I took a turn signing books at the Booksmith booth at the Cole Valley Street Fair today. Thanks to everyone who came by and said hello! My friend Ellen Sussman, editor of Bad Girls, was also there. You can see her on The Today Show on Tuesday.

The fair’s still going on. Some great stuff for sale, including jewelry and glasswork by local artisans. I particularly liked the bags by Janine Marie and the beautiful necklaces by Blue Wild Indigo. My son was really into the balloon guy.

The full author line-up is here. You might also want to stop by and meet the new owners of the Booksmith, Christin Evans and Praveen Madan, who have some great plans for the future of this much-loved neighborhood store. One of their other ventures is the fabulous literary website, Litminds.org.
