The seed was planted over a dinner shared between good friends Tom Corwin and author/journalist Peter Laufer with the idea of buying a classic bookmobile, stocking it with donated books from libraries and publishers, and driving it cross-country through small towns with acclaimed authors taking turns at the wheel. At each stop Corwin opens the bookmobiles doors inviting the public in to take their choice of digital and analog titles in exchange for an interview about what books have meant in their lives. A documentary film crew and a radio production team capture those stories, along with conversations with those authors along for the ride.

Peter Coyote and Jane Ganahl join Tom Corwin at the Googleplex to talk about the bookmobile project.
