FAQs — Thi Bui, Cartoonist

Thi like the drink and Bui like the thing that floats on water. Teaching Books also recorded an audio explanation from me here.

Eastwind Books in Berkeley, California has long been my local independent bookseller and a champion of Asian American literature. You can still order my books from them, though I have moved away and am not able to stop in to sign books as regularly anymore.

Now that I live in New Orleans, Louisiana, you can buy/order my books from Baldwin & Co. and request a signed copy. Thank you for supporting a great independent bookstore and helping me form new ties in my new home.
