I understand that Smoke Signals Newstand is owned by a real Navajo Indian who every morning opens the Newstand by sending smoke signals to let everyone know he is open for business. Some say he is perpetuating an Indian Stereotype.

Great small spot in vibrant neighborhood. They carry a great selection of magazines and are knowledgeable. Went in looking for a magazine from Europe and found it along with their sister publication. Definitely must stop by if you enjoy a physical/tactile reading experience.

Can't believe how hard it is to find a good magazine store in sf!! This has the best selection and variety I've seen around town, plus if you're looking for something specific the owner is really nice and helpful
