Globus Books is a lovely little bookstore packed with fiction and nonfiction. It features a huge, curated selection of Russian books, plus titles in Ukrainian, Belarusian, German, and English, including translations. The collection has a progressive focus and includes literature, history, and topics like ballet and Russian Romanticism. The staff is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. The store has a great vibe and that classic book smell, with shelves lined from floor to ceiling. They offer pretty quick shipping with careful packaging and good pricing. It is a splendid specialty shop, a little gem totally worth visiting.
My book was packaged with care. Fast shipping, wonderful buying experience.

Easily in my top 3 places in San Francisco!! And they’re really helpful too - they were able to help me get a rare book on Russian embroidery after lots of searching. Support this store so it stays alive!!!!
