SEASIDE Author Jonathan Evison will return to Beach Books 7 p.m. Thursday, June 20 with his new book. The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving is a heart-felt tale of Ben Benjamin who was a stay-at-home dad and now tragically isnt. Without skills, he learns to be a caregiver to a disabled young man with whom he eventually takes on a road trip. Theres much sadness in this, but it is ultimately a book that will make you happy. Maybe thats why Starbucks chose it as a pick of the week. Beach Books will toast Evisons return with beer from the Seaside Brewing and road food.

Be sure to also stop by the bookstore Saturday, June 22. Beach Books will be celebrating the start of summer with food, maybe a little wine and 20 percent discounts; many of the stores in Seasides historic downtown Gilbert District will do the same.

Beach Books is located at 616 Broadway in Seaside. For more information, call 503-738-3500 or visit www.beachbooks37.com
