I could spend a whole day here and not get bored. Amazing selection of new and used books for great prices, and tons of other fun gifts for others (or yourself). Don’t forget to check out the annex!

Wow!! such an amazing place for readers. They have huge collections of books . Some latest and old or used books also can get here. Very calming place . People working here are also supportive.

Excellent selection of new and used books in the nooks and crannies. Plan to spend hours of enjoyment shopping here, although if you're a completist and MUST look at every book , you'll go mad trying.

I love bookstores and I love San Fran and this is the best combination of the two.

Love this bookstore , perfect for getting lost and browsing.

Two store fronts full of books - used and new! If you want to shop at both, just ask a friendly clerk to walk you to the other door.

Green Apple has two stores right next to one another: one is a regular bookstore , and the other is a used bookstore with some records -- you have to dig a bit in the back, but it is usually worth it. Read more
