My book Lost Restaurants of Portland, Oregon, continues to sell well, for a variety of reasons.
When considering what gift you might get your history/trivia loving relative, I hope you’ll consider this book. It took me 3 1/2 years to write, and I am currently hard at work on the second book, A Second Helping: Revisiting Portland’s Lost Restaurants, in what I hope to be a three part trilogy that Portland residents can enjoy. I’m still thinking of ideas for the third book, both it’s name and the list of 20 restaurants in which to profile.
I never thought I’d write a second book, but so many people, my friends, family members and even people I’ve never met, have expressed their interest in a second book. And so I feel compelled to do what I can to write a second and perhaps even a third book, for the simple reason that so many Portlanders seem to want that and are depending on me to write at least a second book exploring the theme of shuttered Portland restaurants.
This podcast has several passages that I’ve read, from most of the 20 restaurants I profiled. There is also behind the scenes information on the process of writing the book, and other trivia, that I genuinely hope you will enjoy!
