Green Apple Books

“great new and used selection, two locations”

“Green Apple Books doesn't love me the way I love it, but that's okay. Over the past 40+ years I have purchased hundreds of books at the Clement St. location (the sparkly new one on the other side of the park is nice, but come on), spent weeks of my life wandering the shelves and shopping the tables, and pointed friends, strangers, and enemies in its direction. All without any bookseller ever greeting me or offering similar niceties. On the contrary I am, at best, invisible at Green Apple Books. At worst, I sense a begrudging acceptance, a resigned oh-I-guess-she's-one-of-us vibe. It's hilarious and I love it. Long live Green Apple Books.”

“BRB getting lost at the Clement Street location”

“Favorite in the city, a blend of new and used books. Lots of author events and good vibes for sitting and reading. On Sunday you can catch the Clement street farmers market, lots of bakeries, buns, dumplings, and snacks. Get a coffee at nearby HI NRG and read your books.”

“In a city with so many wonderful bookstores, this is my favorite.”

“the platonic ideal of a bookstore”
