DIABLO MAGAZINE RECOGNIZES US IN BEST OF THE EAST BAY 2008
"Editor's Pick --
No bookstore this side of Cody's has more going on than Clayton Books. New owners, who bought the store from the owners of the now defunct Bonanza Street Books last year, have spruced up the store's interior and now regularly host readings. In the last few months, the store hosted Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Robert Hass, acclaimed novelist Michelle Richmond, and popular mystery author Laurie King. Clearly, Clayton is the place for the indie bookstore lover to be."
