The first time I visited this store was twenty years ago. I never thought that this independent bookstore would still be able to survive in 2024. For endangered creatures, I am happy to support it with US dollars.
Best for Christmas Shopping Because: Green Apple is just one of many locally-owned businesses on Clement Street that's worth checking out during your holiday shopping spree.
