The book you heard about on KPBS Wednesday morning is called, “A Year Without Made in China” by a woman named Sara Bongiorni. I mentioned it in this thread back on the 13th, in fact. It’s a good read and thought-provoking.
Turns out the author will be doing a reading / signing up at the BookWorks book store on Via de la Valle in Del Mar next week, right next to the Pannikin.
