This is a fantastic bookstore!! Great books AND beautiful cards and stationery. The owner is very kind and knowledgeable. The store itself has a lot of light in all ways! Highly recommended for browsing, purchasing, and to simply discover.

This is my local bookstore and it's one of my favorites I've been to in the city. There's a great selection of children's, literary fiction, rare editions, horror, sci fi, and fantasy books. They sell new books and some used intermingled on the shelves or in a stack on the floor. They also have nice gifts and tote bags. They also will buy your used books if they're in good condition!

The ladies at the store asked that I update them since it was such a unique request. I forgot to get your contact info so a review will suffice. My partner loved the books you recommended and was familiar with and had been very planning to read works from both authors. My request was very specific (a gift for my partner with a specialized interest in Soviet Union history, more specifically at the intersection of Jewish history there in) and the shop keepers were knowledgeable and well informed with recommendations which he loved. I’m so grateful for your assistance in making it a great birthday for him.

Very disappointing. Bought some children's chapter books, not in the best of condition and the child had one of them already. I tried to exchange it and they said I had to wait for the owner's approval when she was done lunch ( I had to come back) then she refused! They said it had a very slight bend in a corner which was there when I bought it (many of their books look previously read, which I'm ok with). For $6.99 she has lost my entire family of readers. all due to being unwilling to exchange a 6-year-olds book!

It's very nice of them to let me post a community card on the board. I thank the gentleman for that. Sorry I didn't get a chance to purchase a card. Maybe next time when I swing by. Thank you. And happy holidays to come.

It's a very cozy bookstore. I love that they also have other things, like candles, boardgames, notebooks, cups, even socks that work great for small gifts.One of my favorite things is going through the old photo collection in the back.

I love how close I live to Russian Hill Bookstore! The convenience factor aside, this really is a great neighborhood institution and worth checking out! The first thing you'll see when you walk in is a bargain book collection. It's constantly being added to, so I make a point of browsing what's available every time I stop by. If you keep walking, there is a great selection of San Francisco-centric books, which I think make perfect gifts or souvenirs for anyone visiting. There's a big selection of other fun gift items, like socks, candles, calendars, tote bags, greeting cards, notepads, etc., and in the back there is a large area filled with kids books and toys (lots of Jellycat plushes!). And of course, there are fiction and non-fiction books throughout the store.

Best book store in San Francisco. Great selection of new and used books. Somehow they have everything. In the back they have a great Sci Fi collection. They also have a lot of board games and card games. On top of all that , it's a great place to get gifts for people.

The perfect place to grab stocking stuffers, trinket gifts, games, or work-of-art greeting cards. Even more perfect if you’re a fan of sci-fi, fantasy, art books, or metaphysics. SF used/new hybrid bookshops seem to excel at cultivating a cozily disordered aesthetic (stacks of books on the floor, et cetera). Expect San Francisco prices, but they’re worth it to keep iconic places like this open. While the discount section is about a fifth the size of Green Apple Books’ it’s worth it to devote some time picking through it. You never know what you’ll find!

Darling book store with a great selection! The staff was so helpful in recos and finding the book I was looking for! They also offered to but the sequels on hold when they got to the store. They offer a large selection of greeting cards, candles, calendars, pens etc and have toys for kids too. Great spot.

Friendly and knowledgeable owner, tidy store, good prices, and extras like stuffed animals so you can pick up that present for the baby shower you forgot you had to go to this afternoon.
