Diesel, A Bookstore Larkspur

Diesel Larkspur brings the acclaimed Diesel curation sensibility to Marin County, occupying a warm, inviting space on Magnolia Avenue in one of the North Bay's most charming small downtowns. Since 2015, the store has become the literary gathering place for a community that values the natural world, personal wellness, and creative expression in equal measure. The nature writing section is outstanding, drawing on Marin's extraordinary landscape of redwood groves, coastal trails, and the open spaces of Mount Tamalpais. The wellness and mindfulness collection reflects the deep roots that contemplative practices have in the Marin community. The literary fiction selection carries Diesel's trademark touch, with every title chosen for quality rather than commercial momentum. The art section features books on both fine art and the kind of creative living that Marin residents aspire to. The store's modest scale creates an intimate browsing experience, and the staff's knowledge of their inventory and their customers' tastes makes every visit feel personal. Author events draw Marin's considerable literary population and often sell out quickly.
