Fall in the PNW is the perfect time to explore tide pools! We have a brand new line of waterproof Saltwater Beach Identification Cards. Learn more about Bladderwack, the brown seaweed that grows on rocks in the intertidal zone, or the purple Urchins that look like pin cushions and use their spines to help them move. 

These multilingual field guide cards feature 23 common plant and animal species of the saltwater beaches of the Pacific Northwest! The cards include photos, key characteristics, and fun facts about each species, as well as resources for tending the ecosystem health of shorelines, and bibliography.

We are saddened to mark the passing of our friend of many years, Black Sparrow Press founder John Martin. John was a longtime supporter of our bookstore Arundel Books, and of our Indie press Chatwin Books.

Most recently, he encouraged us to publish Abel Debritto's massive survey of the work of Charles Bukowski (insert photo of book), who was the inspiration for John's founding of Black Sparrow. The book includes many of John's stories about the many projects he worked on with Bukowski, as well as his recollections of many other publishers and editors.

Our heartfelt condolences to Barbara and to the many fans of Black Sparrow.
