Recommended Publications

Books, Magazines and Other Offline Resources

Short reviews of recommended publications, both classic and new. Where available, I have included links to purchase items from Stacey's, our favorite local independent bookstore here in San Francisco. Through Stacey's affiliate program, you can support both independent booksellers and SpinnySpinny.com by ordering through this website.
