By Matt Kettmann | July 15, 2021
Even in this digital age, few things are as pleasurable as digging into a book on the warm sand, or on your couch, or while falling asleep in bed, and that’s whether you prefer e-readers or still like turning the page. In this week’s issue, we’re presenting a wide range of books to expand that enjoyment, most of which — whether international best sellers or self-published projects — come with Santa Barbara ties.
