Russian Hill Bookstore is a great spot with a large selection of books. I was able to pick up a few for myself as well as some gifts for the kids. It’s located near a busy street, making it convenient to visit before grabbing dinner, as there are several dining options nearby. The staff are friendly and helpful, enhancing the overall experience. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and looking for some unique reads or thoughtful gifts. Highly recommend.
What a gem! It used to be bigger but that is still exists is a marvel! Huge specialized sections about ART, war, countries, design, poetry, California, travel, games, women, fiction, photography …. Also a very big antique section. They also have greeting cards, souvenirs and Knick knacks. Come and support this jewel. Not many used bookstores left and this is a good one!
Very cool collection of vintage books of every kind. They also have new releases and lots of history books. I love a memoir and they had a pretty large selection for a used bookstore!
Bookshop is incredible. Support your local high street. Makes me realise why we need to make high street interesting, personable, functional, people led - and stop giving money to Amazon. This place has such great character. I forgot how much I love to explore a bookshop. Greta selection of rare and modern publishing. I could spend the day here.
