I just picked up the latest issue of the San Francisco Panorama today from Green Apple. McSweeney’s has proven that the American newspaper is still viable. It just takes a team of writers five months to produce a single issue, which sells for $17.52 :)

There was a terrible fire down by the RaNCh this weekend. Five neighboring warehouses burned to the ground. Somehow the ranch survived. dreameleven has a writeup of what happened. Craig started a flickr pool of photos of the fire:

Stopped in at Eastwind Books at Columbus & Stockton in SF the other day, and discovered to my delight an unannounced 30% off sale on all books in the store.  Normally a random bookstore sale would not be blog-worthy, but Eastwind is not merely a random bookstore.  They are like the Kinokuniya of Chinese bookstores, and have one of the best selections of Traditional Chinese Medicine texts of any retail bookstore in the U.S, along with a selection of Chinese philosophy, literature, and language texts.

Some gems that were still on the shelves as I was leaving were Bensky’s Formulas and Strategies, Chen’s Chinese Medical Herbology & Pharmacology, and the English version of the Commission E Monographs.  With the sale taken into account, all three were priced significantly below BookFinder prices…
