Moe's events coordinator Owen Hill is a well-known Bay Area poet. His two mystery novels, The Chandler Apartments, and The Incredible Double, were well received across the country. In 2006, Owen and Robert Eliason created the Telegraph 3pm exhibit, an ongoing image/text project, that was displayed at the Berkeley YWCA, then updated and displayed in 2007 at the Gaia Building in Downtown Berkeley. Owen also reviews crime novels for The Los Angeles Times. Most recently he was invited to read at the Frank O'Connor Short Fiction Festival in Cork, Ireland. To contact Owen, please e-mail him at owen@moesbooks.com

As well as working in the rare book shop at Moe's Books, Elliot Lavine is also a film programmer at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco, where he runs the well-respected film noir festivals. He has also taught classes on film noir at Stanford, San Francisco State University and UC Berkeley.

Ken Eastman entered college in 1972, and he stayed there until 1990. Having been thrown back into the real world, he soon found an unreal job in the rare and art book department at Moe's, where he remains. He could be called “a stayer.” He enjoys good food, like many of his fellow citizens in Berkeley, and has been told on various restaurant visits that the kitchen has now closed and he must leave. Moe's requested that he contribute a blog to the store's website, months ago; and he has repeatedly assured all concerned that his debute posting will astound by its length, complexity, detailed documentation, and polished prose. He assured me it will appear “in the near future.” He brings to his job a purported knowledge of numerous Asian languages, and has been working, as an agent of Moe's, on the appraisal of a Japanese and a Chinese book, for the last two years.
