Green Apple Books, Clement Street
It is hard to explain to a visitor the reverence in which Green Apple is held. With its rickety wooden floors, staircases and the seemingly endless rooms stuffed, but not overstuffed, with new and old books, it may provide the quintessential San Francisco experience. The shop is staffed by knowledgeable, laid-back, and friendly employees who know exactly where that arcane tome you want is located. Green Apple is the perfect place to go after dinner at Burma SuperStar down the street or to kill a few hours on a foggy Sunday afternoon.

Founded in 1967 by Richard Savoy, Green Apple houses over a quarter million titles. The shop is regularly voted 'Best Used Bookstore' and 'Best Independent Bookstore' in the Bay Area (quite a distinction). In a day of Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.com, our beloved Green Apple is still going strong. Green Apple has also expanded to an annex a few doors down that features music and videos.
