My favorite bookstore in sf! Has so many different genres of books and the ginger cat is so cute!

The staff keep the shelves stocked with a terrific selection of contemporary and classics, cookbooks, poetry, and non-fiction, and for a store this small you'll be surprised at the selection. Read more

I'm a huge food nerd so I loved their collection of used cookbooks. Lots of contemporary things which was refreshing to see!

Great place to find rare books. The cat it's so funny and loves people. Prices are moderately cheap and it's a good place to buy a gift for someone that likes to read.

a ton of used books, but a somewhat limited selection of the newest titles if that is what you’re searching for

When you can't get to a green Apple try this even quirkier gem on Church Street. I've preferred them for nine years.

Wonderful neighborhood bookstore in the castro with reasonable prices and a beautiful fuzzy cat who doesn't mind being petted and annoyed

Great selection - the kind of stuff you'd find on the syllabus of a good college course

Great bargains here at this used bookstore! The best in the city.

$5 and $10 book bins! Caveat lector. You'll find Dave Eggers cheek-by-jowl with George Eliot, priced to read.

wonderful bookstore... and they have a CAT (!!) who tolerated my incessant petting.

A local used book store with a huge selection. The prices aren't the lowest, but I find that they have a lot of signed copies and nicer hardbacks. Read more

Messy but fun to browse and maybe pick up a cheap book.
Chan WilliamsJuly 2, 2010
A great place to kill time (and money) b4 dinner. A slash on the first page means half off the cover price.

Metaphysical and occult like no other! !

Sell your used books for cash, or even better, for in-store credit to get more bang for your buck

Say hello to the cat snoozing in the window display.
