If you're like us and consistently lose bookmarks, but also want to remember where you picked up a certain book, let us stamp it for you! (This is our new toy, we're stamping everything, help.)
A copy of M. John Harrison's Course of the Heart with a stamped Point Reyes Books logo on the title page. In the background you can see a few books slightly out of place on the front table, which really bothers some of us.

Screenshot of a paragraph in an article on Tomales Bay that praises Point Reyes Books, calling the store "absolutely perfect: small but not too cramped, fantastic shelf-talkers and staff recommendations, the kind of place you find books you've not heard of before that practically call out to you to pick up."
