This place is fantastic! The atmosphere is so welcoming, and everyone is incredibly friendly. Plus, they have a great selection, especially when it comes to used books--my favorite!

Fantastic place to look at books. Wide selection of different books, games, and little trinkets throughout the store made it so nice to travel and browse through. They really have a book for anyone and their selection is super organized. I'd come back here anytime to support the friendly staff.

The last of the great bookstores in San Francisco. This is my go to place to discover books of all kinds. Green Apple has vinyl records and magazines. A good place to get inspiration.
Green Apple Books is a San Francisco Legacy Business selling new and used books in all subject areas. We offer an unparalleled selection, knowledgeable and friendly service, and a funky space to get lost in.

We also offer greeting cards, journals and blank books, quirky gifts and games, new & used LPs, 100s of magazines, tote bags, and much more.
