Bookstore & Publisher

 What was an awesome find by Lantern Tree owner has become an in-demand item at the bookstore!

"Lumio certainly is an attention-grabber. People have to touch it,  examine it, smile at it. It's that tactile craving that helped build the  product into one of the standout retail stories."

  We’re delighted to announce that Volume 11 will be a collaboration between the Santa Barbara Literary Journal and Polyverse Publishing. Louis Force Torres, the publisher at Polyverse, is also the owner of Lantern Tree Books in Carpinteria, which is quickly becoming a hub of literary activity.

Lantern Tree Books received the first, long-awaited copies of Chumash Ethnobotany, designed by our very own Louis Force Torres! Thanks to a publishing partnership with the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum, we are excited to offer this title.
