Restless Books

Hello from Restless Books! We’re an indie, nonprofit publisher devoted to championing essential voices from around the world whose stories speak to us across linguistic and cultural borders. We publish top-notch international literature for adults and young readers that feeds our restlessness: our hunger for new perspectives, passion for other cultures and languages, and eagerness to explore beyond the confines of the familiar. We love indie bookstores and are always happy to send out galleys, digital review copies, and virtual abrazos. Say hello!

The Forests of California – book trailer

From the author of The California Field Atlas comes a major work that not only guides readers through the Golden State’s forested lands, but also presents a profoundly original vision of nature in the twenty-first century. The Forests of California features an abundance of Obi Kaufmann’s signature watercolor maps and trail paintings, weaving them into an expansive and accessible exploration of the biodiversity that defines California in the global imagination.
