Author Daniels Crawford discusses his memoir Conquering Rock Bottom at Pages: A Bookstore, sharing his story of recovery and identity as a surfer and skateboarder.
Walls painted turquoise, shelves stacked high with new releases and beach reads, and a calming hush that feels intentional. Not like someone forgot the volume knob. This indie bookstore, founded in 2010, is run by book lovers who actually know their stuff. They've got fiction, nonfiction, kids’ books, cookbooks, surf-titles, gifts, and even story times and book clubs. Best part: walk in for recommendations that don’t come from an algorithm. Just friendly staff who match you to books.
