[...] Etiquette. This one has a pretty weak Oakland angle (the book on Victorian etiquette was published by an Oakland printer), and I remember the editor at the time pointing that out. Wince. But it’s still pretty dang interesting. [...]

[...] by Erika Mailman $14.95 Of course, I’m a bit of an Oakland nerd, so I couldn’t wait to pick a copy of Oakland’s Neighborhoods. I was happy I did. Through the book, Erica Mailman and contributors celebrate not only Oakland the place, but also the people. The stories, poems, facts and photographs touch on all of the complexities of Oakland: race relations, family memories, Lake Merritt, the sounds and smells of daily life in the city, and the stories behind some of our city’s most interesting buildings. You’ll also learn the history behind the neighborhoods, how and when they were annexed, and who originally settled there. It playfully bounces between past and present, prose and poetry as it moves from chapter to chapter, keeping it fresh and keeping readers on our toes. Pick it up at one of Oakland’s independent bookstores! *Online*, Goods & Services, Grand Lake, Montclair, Oakland Pride, Woman-owned, Books & Music [...]
