Welcome to READERS' BOOKS, Sonoma's literary gathering place where you'll find good books, good talk, lots of events, and opinions, jokes, and music in abundance.
Located in the town of SONOMA in the heart of California's lovely and historic WINE COUNTRY, we are a general bookstore with a particular focus on contemporary fiction, poetry, children's literature, food, wine and religion. We carry both new and used books and host several author events each week.
We are located one-half block off the Sonoma Plaza on the southeast side.

Description: In “Mediterranean Clay Pot Cooking.: Traditional and Modern Recipes to Savor and Share,”
renowned chef Paula Wolfert perhaps says it best: “I’m not quite sure how it happened that I became a clay pot ‘junkie.’ Perhaps it was the different shapes and sizes, the colors and glazes, the myriad variations on primal shapes that attracted me. Or perhaps it was just that earthenware produced such great-tasting food. And that’s where I begin this book, by asserting a simple truth: Most food—and Mediterranean food in particular—tastes better cooked in clay.” We couldn’t agree more. Come taste. Paula will be cooking and St. Francis is going to pour.

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
by
Kingsolver, Barbara,
Kingsolver, Camille
“Tracing the food year,
Kingsolver—with her characteristic candor,
poetry, and grace—brings us meditations on
asparagus, turkeys, tomatoes, and mulch as she
and her family try to eat locally as much as they
can. This is a distinct hybrid of The Omnivore’s
Dilemma, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Walden.”
—Matt Plies, Annie Bloom’s Books, Portland, OR |

Cutting for Stone
by
Verghese, Abraham
Cutting for Stone resists easy categorization -- it is just as much the chronicle of a bond between twin brothers and family as it is a book about medicine, or a story of grace. Verghese's carefully drawn characters are compelling and unforgettable -- this is a book you will have to share with others, if you can bear parting with your copy.--Meredith Allison, Brazos Bookstore, Inc.

"True literature can exist only where it is created, not by diligent and trustworthy officials, but by madmen, hermits, heretics, dreamers, rebels, and
skeptics."
