Help Alison & John Rebuild After the Palisades Fire

Our friends, Alison Reid and John Evans, lost their home in the devastating Palisades Fire. Alison and John have enhanced their communities with each of the Diesel Bookstores and now Camino Books in Del Mar. In fact, wherever they are, you'll find community--of books, ideas, and friendship. I am a sales rep for a publisher, but I was their friend before I worked with them professionally. I have been friends with Alison and John for decades, and I know there are many people in the book community who can say the same.

Many of us have shared a drink, a meal, or even a concert (countless Springsteen shows for me) with Alison and John. While we are so grateful for their friendship and the good times, we now look to help them in this hardest of tasks, reconstructing all that they have lost. Please support them if you can as they travel the difficult road ahead.
