San Francisco Bookstores

For all of the PSA folks coming to San Francisco, here are a few bookshops you might want to check out:

City Lights Bookstore and Publishers

A San Francisco Institution...  http://www.citylights.com/

Russian Hill Bookstore--lots of rare and used books. A good neighborhood to grab dinner too(a personal favorite)... http://www.russianhillbookstore.com/

Booksinc. an independent chain (is that an oxymoron?)

http://www.booksinc.net/

Another favorite space-- Mechanic Institute Library-- it's an old private library/chess club in the SF financial district that most locals don't even know about. If you ask to tour they will let you see it.

If you want to venture beyond the SF tourist route, hit the Mission for great tacos and books...http://www.dogearedbooks.com/dogeared/index.php
