    A SF institution, the first of the 826 stores and required visit while in SF. The proceeds all go to the writing workshop. Be sure to get some of the kids writings and be careful not to get mopped!

    Pull open the mystery drawers and see what you find inside. All profits go to writing classes for kids.
