Everything was clearly labeled and the selection was amazing. It was easy to find the books we were looking for, as well as a couple books I had never heard of/thought of reading. The prices were also reasonable for the used books. I spent awhile in here just looking around everywhere and I could have spent even longer. Of course I had to buy the "30 years in business suck it Bezos" sticker lol. Support your local book store!

I didn't have my card with me that night, so I came a few days later after work. The craft market was bustling pretty hard that day, but the shop girl, Courtney (ps anyone who has the same name as me is a+!!) made sure to give me some good recommendations. I walked away with a really cool food focused zine (Remedy) a San Francisco zine (Wonder & Wander) and a hilarious red hot chili peppers fan fiction zine. Courtney recommend a few others, but I grabbed all my lil bag could carry. Despite the small little store front, I felt like there was a pretty good mix of things to look through. A lot of feminist lit, lots of political stuff, travel, food, and just general aesthetically pleasing things. I told her id be really interested in reading more queer zines, (they definitely have some!) and she assured me that she cosigns in small quantities to keep the shelves fresh and to date. I really enjoyed the market itself, but this newsstand is definitely a gem and brings a lot of community to a place where some locals would consider a tourist trap. I look forward to seeing The Grand Newsstand soon!!

This is perfectly awesome small 'zine, poetry and art kiosk right off of market street by that…read morepublic market thingy they do. This is a walk up kiosk by justin herman plaza/fountain and thus you will not be driving here. This is however, one of the most walkable parts of one of the most pedestrian friendly cities in the world so you have about a half dozen non driving ways to get here from around the city. This is the business inspiration of one local artist (it's the woman running behind the counter) and it sells art. It's in an re-purposed ticket booth and as such it's super tiny. There is no interior space so you'll be browsing via the sidewalk. Small whimsical locally produced self published pamphlets (hereafter referred to as 'zines), buttons, patches, cards and suchlike. The written items focus on various themes-love, city life, humor etc. are the stock in trade, made both by the owner and by other local artists. Pricing can be as low as a couple of bucks for a tiny booklet to 20 ish for a full size book. This is a perfect place to get some unique, local art/spoken word items and to find a little inspiration.

Located right on Haight Street, The Booksmith is a great bookstore. When you walk into the space,…read moreyou're overwhelmed by all the great titls that they have and are offering. This space is broken up into two main rooms. There's the room you enter when you come in off the street, and then there's the secondary room over to the left. Both are filled with a great collection of literature and/or nonfiction. The focus of this bookstore is really on literature. Though they, of course, have other subjects, as well. This being said, they have a great collection of fiction and poetry. It's really very-very vast. So, if you're in The Haight, and you want to grab a great piece of reading material, this may be your place to go.

I frequented Bound Together Books in the '90s when they sold many copies of my zine. Checking out…read morethere website, I see the place has been around since 1976. Strolling down Haight, where I often crashed at a friend's pad back when, little was recognizable. I'm sure hippies felt the same way wandering that street in the '90s. One of the few places that seemed to not have changed at all is Bound Together, which still has several shelves allotted to zines. I'll admit anarchist and political tomes are not something I read a lot of anymore. But this volunteer-run spot would be the place to find radical theoretical whathaveyou and they have used sections of fiction and non-fiction in the back. I recall once seeking out anarchist bookstores throughout Europe and there were quite a few. I wonder how many are left in this country.

It didn't blow my mind away like the other Sekaido location at Valley Fair, but they still have…read moresome pretty decent deals and a couple of gems like an orange Domo-kun vinyl figure, as well as the more popular and casual series (shonen slop lol). Staff welcomed us when we visited and let us know that they were available if we had any questions to ask them. There's various plushies from anime series and kawaii characters, keychains, lots of figures of different types ranging from unfortunately Funko pops to prize figures and scale figures. There's a couple western fandoms like comic book series etc here. Overall a decent stop if you're already at the mall and want to peruse some anime goods.

So far I have been to several Japanese Animated Cartoon Stores In the bay area and the places that…read moreI have been to is Japantown, Chinatown, which is in San Francisco and the other places that went to was at Daly City Serramonte Shopping Mall and the Milpitas Great Mall Of San Jose!!! When I went to the Sekaido store at the Serramonte Shopping Mall Daly City location this store was filled with a lot of Japanese Animated Cartoon Figurines Like Sailor Moon & Her Sailor Scouts... When I was there I ended up buying myself a Sailor Venus Figurine and you can see the picture & video that I have posted Not only that they have a lot of Pokémon Stuff & A big selection of Pop Minis!!! If you collecting Japanese Animated Cartoon Girl Figurines Or Sailor Moon,Pop Minis Try Going To The Sekaido Store at the Serramonte Shopping Mall location is a very cool store to go to!!!

Such a unique store. They carry art, leather goods, stationery, candles, accessories, books, so…read moremuch fun stuff! Some items are splurges like a boob leather wallet for $98 but other items like their sharperners or pens are $8-15. I appreciate that this store isn't just for the upper class. I also like how they have descriptions of the artists for the products they sell. It's nice to put a name/face behind the local artwork so you know who you're supporting. Ended up buying an "only good things" blank journal but I'll definitely be back to browse some more.

This store is filled with stationary, cards, ultra-modern jewelry, and pop art objects, from $40…read moremini vases to $85 boob wallets to $6 hipster cards with random sayings on them that don't really correlate with any particular reason why someone might ordinarily send a card. If you are looking for low prices, this is not your shop. But if you don't mind precious prices to go with your precious finds, then you might really dig some of the artsy finds here. I would've given more stars, except that for the entire ten minutes we were browsing the shop, the young woman working there didn't so much as look at us, never mind welcome us in or offer any customer assistance...which is impressive in that we were the only customers in there with her, and she still made it a point to hardcore ignore us!! I don't know if it's her business or if she's just an employee, but I know if it were MY business, I'd at least acknowledge a customer with a hello and offer to help find something, should the need arise. The front entry and most of the store are WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE. There are a few tighter areas, but overall, it seemed okay for my chair. Other than that, it's clean and well-lit, so there's that going for it. Still, given the higher prices and lack of any customer service, I probably won't feel the need to go back here, especially since there are better, less expensive card/tchotchke shops within a block of this place.

What an awesome bookstore!…read more Since the pandemic, shopping in person is by appointment only. I emailed them in the late afternoon to see if they could accommodate me last minute for the next day, and there was no issue with that. You get buzzed in, then head to the third floor. There's stairs or an elevator. One of the three employees pointed me to the section I was interested in and I was able to browse for as long as I liked, which I did so for an hour. A large majority of their sales are online, so I was the only patron in the store the entire time I was there. They had so many rare, out of print, obscure titles in their collection, which is exactly what I was looking for. If you're ever in San Francisco and are interested in rare books, this is a great place to check out!
