Love this bookstore. It rivals my favorite bookstore: Three lives in the West Village NYC. I worked there when I was young.

My favorite bookstore in the bay! Everyone is kind, eager to help, and the selection is great. I especially love the employee recommendation tables. Even bought some home decor here.
