Thrilled to see that @alden's book Deep Oakland is a SF Chronicle best seller!

It's also the only book from an independent publisher on the list this week.

Congrats Andrew!

Every wonder why cycling can be difficult in #Oakland, riding uphill, then down, then up again.
It's the geology of Oakland.

Blame it on the Fan during Bike to Wherever Day.
Part alluvial fan, from the streams, but mostly tectonic upheaval from the Pleistocene

The Fan gets its own chapter in new book #DeepOakland, by Andrew Alden

I picked up #DeepOakland today from#WaldenPond
Ordered it a month ago.
I was surprised to found there had been event a few hours earlier at bookstore, and bookstore hadn't told me.
Though I now see email from #AndrewAlden mentioning it 😪
But I will be at launch Thursday at Heyday

I'm more interested in what our orders from local indie bookstores will look like, but Deep Oakland by Andrew Alden ranking number 1 of all new geology releases MONTHS before it comes out is, I hope, a great preview of the reception this book will have on release! #HeydayBooks #DeepOakland #geologyrocks #geology
