Memoir to be published by International Peace Organization, World BEYOND War

“Joel Eis’s memoir reads like Forrest Gump of the 1960’s only its real!” 

Will Durst, Columnist, S F Chronicle

He became one of the people his parents warned him against…

Standing in a Hard Rain Book

… He was followed and informed on. His phone was tapped. He was shot at, did some time in jail, and was black listed. His FBI file, was as thick as a small city phone book.

Standin’ in a Hard Rain, the Making of a Revolutionary Life” is the fast-paced, "boots-on-the-ground," account of major events by a dedicated radical in the 1960’s(and beyond) who found himself with the planners and out in the street.

It traces a generation staying true to their values though changing times

What critics say about Standin’ in a Hard Rain…

“Joel Eis’s Memoir is great to read. It’s a great history lesson. He’s an immediate new literary friend!”

           Peter Coyote Actor, author, Narrator, Ken Burns film on the Vietnam War

“Joel Eis’s STANDIN’ IN A HARD RAIN, The Making of a Revolutionary Life is a useful and compelling read as the nation once again tries to find its bearings.”

David Harris, Organizer, National Draft Resistance during the Vietnam War, Federal prisoner for refusing the draft, 12-time book author ,Correspondent, NY Times, Rolling Stone Magazine

...Voted Best Used Bookstore in Marin County

Rebound bookstore has been consistently voted "Best Used Bookstore," in Marin County by the Pacific Sun's weekly's customer survey in every year we have entered the survey, 2005 - 2022 (Last year we entered the contest)

On Saturdays and weekday lunchtimes, the store swarms with students from local high schools and colleges.

As often as not the store is full of teens from the local high school from the next block over.

If you have a question about a specific book, write or call us.  If we don’t have it, we’ll order it for you.

The San Francisco Chronicle said, “The Rebound bookstore, with a diverse selection of used books to pique your interest is the kind of cozy convivial place that makes you want to linger.”

...and now that you’ve found us, we’re right there with you! We hope to see you in the store!

What Makes Us Worth The Trip

The Rebound Bookstore at 1611 4th Street in San Rafael, California, is nestled in a safe, popular, strolling area of coffee houses, restaurants, and specialty shops, with easy-to-find parking.

Among the thirty-five thousand items in the store, we carry such unique collections as novels by middle eastern writers, odd dictionaries, romances, westerns, foreign language books, UFO books, Hardy Boys, Conan novels, English “cozy” mysteries, ring-bound cookbooks from obscure church groups; even a collection of Flemish comic books (!)

They’re all tucked away in little alcoves around the store along with such staples as manuals on gardening and house repair. We boast both current and classic fiction and mysteries as well as a sci-fi collection of over 2000 books.

We foreground a well-stocked bookcase of local writers. Proceeds from the sale of their books go directly to the writers.

We carry gift cards by local artists.

"This is my favorite place to go on a day off."

"I even got an autographed Far Side book here."

"It’s comfortable, like going to my aunt's library."

"I imagine you will find what you are looking for at this place or a writing you were not aware of...will find you."

"This is the kind of bookstore you walk into, and just stumble upon books you didn't know you wanted to read."

"Strangely enough, even though it’s not huge, I always find at least one title that I am looking for."
