I love this place! Beautiful books - an eclectic selection, friendly environment- and if you need a quick and special gift for someone/ here is the place. Today! I found the perfect gift and card- and they gift wrap fo free! What a surprise! Here's a pic. And they happily do it! Thanks so much for a pleasant time out from work.

One of my favorite bookstores in the City, and this location is spectacular. Wonderful selection of books and subjects, and a very helpful staff. Enjoy!

A lovely small bookstore that's been curated by people who know and love books. This is not your chain bookstore that has stacks of the newest glossy hardback by James Patterson! Sure there are current editions of bestsellers, but there are also eclectic selections. I visit bookstores wherever I travel, and this one, though on the small side, is one I'll return to when in SF again.

I have attended two events at Book Passage so far and both experiences have been great!! They are just so organized and the line moves quickly. There are so many great restaurants and shops nearby and you have a great view of the bay bridge. You cannot go wrong with this bookstore!

Book Passage is a true hidden gem for book lovers! Tucked deep within the Ferry Building, this bookstore offers an exceptional experience. The location is perfect, nestled comfortably near Red Bay Coffee, with stunning views of the ocean and the Bay Bridge. It's a serene escape from the bustling city. What sets Book Passage apart is its extensive collection of books. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a display of bestsellers. The range of genres and topics is impressive; you're sure to find something that piques your interest. One delightful touch is the handwritten notes from the staff scattered throughout the bookstore. These recommendations add a personal touch and guide you to some hidden literary treasures. After you've found your perfect read, there's a cozy seating area where you can unwind. The availability of Red Bay Coffee's Wi-Fi makes it a fantastic spot to sip a latte, read your newly acquired book, and take in the mesmerizing ocean view. In terms of pricing, Book Passage is decently priced for what it offers. While it primarily stocks new books, the quality and variety justify the cost. What's worth mentioning is that this place isn't a tourist trap. It's a haven for book enthusiasts and locals alike. So, whether you're a resident or just passing through, make sure to pay a visit to Book Passage. You won't be disappointed!

I was so disappointed to attend what I thought was going to be a book reading by Katie Porter with possibly a Q&A session following.As it turned out, all that happened was that I purchased a book and the chance to stand in a line for $31. Why I needed a reservation for such is a mystery to me.I am completely unimpressed as I have attended some interesting readings at this location in prior years; apparently their idea of an author event has changed quite a lot.I guess I should give them some points for a clever way to deceive people into buying books but they have lost my confidence; as difficult as it is to find independent book sellers these days, I won't be returning to this one.

Lovely little bookstore for those latest releases. They had a small section for graphic novels which I appreciated as other small bookstores tend not to stock them.

A very cute little bookstore at the ferry building market place. It's rare to see real book stores these days. I mostly just download books on my Kindle device. Occasionally I buy real books that I really like. This time was Bernie Sanders "It's ok to be angry about capitalism" ! I am witnessing the late stage of capitalism yes I am angry about it! If you are a book worm like me you should really check this bookstore out!
