    “I went here on the recommendation of @Kelsey Keith (champion recommender) and had a very pleasant hour perusing stacks of art, architecture, and design books and magazines; I came home with a strange + beguiling little book on the history of faux mountains.”

    “THE destination for architecture fiends in the Bay Area. I will always love William Stout Books for its collection of GA magazines (not for sale, free to browse) and the fact that it still merchandises the two books I wrote for Phaidon years ago.”

    “The Mecca of design books, I dare you to leave empty handed. Don’t pass up perusing their poster selection. Make it the perfect trip by ensuring Maison Nico next door is open so you can end with a treat.”
