Filters:
Russell L. • August 11, 2018Wide selection of Japanese books, new and paperback (but seemingly less selection of late). The downstairs manga collection is impressive.
Carrie H. • January 16, 2012Oldest independent Black bookstore; literary and historical gem of the Fillmore. Be greeted by the resident pet, an affectionate Dachshund.
California Girl • August 6, 2012Excellent bookstore and with a rich Beatnik history. Photos of Kerouac et.al. abound.
8.4Bookstore •1369 Haight St (btw Central & Masonic), San Francisco
Diego R. • March 25, 2011A great selection of independent zines, magazines, comics, graphic novels, and books. They always have a pretty good selection of AK Press titles as well. Worth giving it a try.
John B. • February 16, 2017Enjoy a savory snack. The musubi has slightly sweet furikake and the tuna onigiri has a kick.
City Walks • October 1, 2011Clyde walks from Post and Fillmore Streets in Japan Town visiting Kinokuniya Bookstore and New People. Clyde talks about the contemporary design he finds in the curated shops on Post Street.
Mary S. • April 12This book store has a fantastic children's section, with a wide range of books for all ages. It's been a lifesaver for me as a parent, if I'm looking for educational and engaging reads for my kids.
Alcatraz Bookstore • August 1, 2013Help us write the next chapter for Crissy Field and the Presidio at the former Commissary site, the Presidio Exchange.
Beatriz A. • December 16, 2010Arkipelago books is a specialty filipino bookstore in soma. Check it out! Arkipelagobooks.com!
Eden L. • July 29, 2013Bryan, did not know that the bookstore was open on Saturdays during the summer. Thought the campus is locked up on weekends during the summer.
Rachel R. • December 11, 2016Service here is inconsistent, depending on how busy they are. Their books are expensive and buy back rates aren't great. Even if they're an Apple certified store, they know little about Apple products
Christian R. • April 17, 2018Tons of amazing books for nothing. Great editions and all. Be warned, you are likely to come out with a heavy haul!
Ha D. • February 22, 2015Might be my favorite bookstore in the East Bay. Wish they had more literary magazines, but they have a great fiction selection - anything you pick up is probably worth reading.
