If you do decide to visit, let someone know (me, Gustavo, John, whoever) and
we'll show you around the office. Same goes for anyone else visiting Palo Alto.

Yes, Cindy's right. Bookshare is a few blocks from the edge of the Stanford
campus, and there's lots to do around here. Lots of new and used bookstores, a
good library system, and good public transportation. Bookshare is a 10 minute
walk from a Caltrain station, and it's one building away from El Camino, which
is a major road going up and down the Peninsula (and in fact, up and down
California).

Carrie and the bookshare creew can tell you more about
Palo Alto. I've never been there, but I think it's not
too far from San Francisco, and I'm pretty sure
Stanford is there, which means it should have a lot of
interesting things to do, concerts, plays--and a nice
library and, from the shopping Carrie does, good
used-book stores. smile Marissa commuted from
somewhere, but I think she drove--but there probably
is good public transportation.
