Art Zone kicks off the summer reading season with a trip to Capitol Hill`s Elliott Bay Book Company, which is celebrating 40 years. On the shelf in this week`s show, a chat with book guru and head buyer Rick Simonson, who has been with the store since its early days, and Karen Maeda Allman, author events planner, shares some store secrets. Plus sculptor John Grade previews a new masterpiece in the works at MadArt. The poetic duo Iska Dhaaf shakes the rafters of Elliott Bay`s basement reading room. And before signing off for the summer, Art Zone leaves you with book suggestions by artists and a calendar of artist-led summer classes.
