I've come here a couple of times and love the selection. Just off the busy road, it's a great place to escape to and find an interesting read. Customer service is interesting... I can't say I've had an outwardly bad experience ever but the vibes they give certainly aren't very friendly.

Located on the historic streets of Haight-Ashbury, The Booksmith is a beautiful bookstore with tons of options from every genre imaginable. I love the variety and abundance of books as well as the layout of the place. They also have cute merch such as totes, buttons, and journals.

Haight St. is lucky to have such an exemplary new bookstore. I kind of fulfills my ideal of what an excellent neighborhood bookstore should be. I work at Bound Together Books sometimes (the anarcho/lefty store at the other end of the Haight Ashbury) and I recommend this place to people all day long.
