I believe an undiscovered primate stalks the forests of North America. It takes guts to admit this publicly. It’s not hard to see why Bigfoot makes people uncomfortable. We’ve been taught from an early age to view the unknown with skepticism, programmed to believe everything in the world has already been mapped, graphed, catalogued and …
From Third Street Books in McMinnville, OR: UFO FEST! I’ve missed the UFO Festival, haven’t you? It is one of my favorite events in McMinnville. Have you seen our window display?

What a read! This gnarly tale of Sasquatch is nothing you have ever read before. It shows what you will do to survive, stopping at nothing to live another day! I blew through this book in a matter of a couple days and loved every second! When Mount Rainier erupts, it forces wildlife to move …

It’s easy to do with her combination of talent, energy and genuine niceness—and not to mention that we see her charming calendars hanging up at just about every potluck we attend. So we were not surprised to learn …
NWBL is hungry, thanks to Liz Crain. We want her to take us on an eating tour of Portland, hitting all the markets and carts and cafes she writes about in her new book, Food Lover’s Guide to Portland (Sasquatch) and then we want to sit on her front porch sipping rosé while she prepares …
