Book excerpt: For forty years, Heyday has been publishing California's stories--from Native peoples to newly arrived immigrants, from the startlingly diverse Klamath Basin to the politically fraught California-Mexico border, from delicate Calliope hummingbirds to 14,000-foot summits. Kim Bancroft spent hundreds of hours interviewing founder Malcolm Margolin and a host of current and former staff, authors, board members, friends, and cultural leaders to tell the story of, as the San Francisco Chronicle put it, the "plucky Bay Area publisher [that] not only still stands but continues to innovate." A compelling portrait emerges of a deeply committed leader and the community and river of beauty that have nourished him. Brimming with humor, emotion, and purpose, The Heyday of Malcolm Margolin shows readers the intricacies of a small press with big ideas.
