Absolute delight.Books for everyone... kids, grown ups, literature lovers, cooks, mapmakers, explorers, scientists, artist, writers, uou name it, they have it.New and used books.Sell books for cash or trade. Read their specs on selling.This place is a HOUSE OF KNOWLEDGE AND JOY.Aisles are on the narrow side for mobility aid users.Street parking challenging but doable.Close to buslines.

This is a wonderful book store with two floors, chairs for sitting and reading, and plenty of used books in great condition. This is a local business thats existed for decades and hopefully for decades to come.

I love a bookstore where you can go in with something in mind, but also find other goodies along the way. It’s like a scavenger hunt! Has unique Knick knacks aside from books, like cute and profane mugs :)

Truly my favorite bookstore ever! The store is huge and their collection is extensive, with a wonderful used book selection in addition to their new books. Everyone that works there is always so kind and helpful; I love Green Apple!

Everything you love about a bookstore. The smell of aisles & aisles of old and new books. Beautiful writing supplies. Even the clerk chatting it up with a local. Very helpful staff. Great selection. Keep local bookstores alive!!

Green Apple Books is one of the best bookstores I’ve ever visited. For someone who is easily enticed by stacks of books, this place is heaven.They’ve an eclectic collection of both new and used books. The collection is carefully curated, and while browsing the collection, one finds both well-written short reviews as well as quirky comments, which just adds to a book lover’s unbridled joy. Philosophy, science, cooking, fiction, non-fiction, history—any area you name, they have a huge collection of books in that area.While on the second floor, I came across the ‘Granny Smith’ room, which has books on philosophy, classics, history and political science. Even though it was just a room, it seemed like another bookstore in itself. I spent hours perusing the room.Their fiction collection deserves a special shout-out as well. It’s easy to find used amazing books of fiction(both new and old) here. I didn’t spend a lot of time here since I was scared I would end up adding 15-20 more books of fiction to my already picked up books. I found some solace in the fact that I would visit Green Apple again soon, and then pick those books of fiction.The checkout was smooth as well. The person at the counter and I chatted a bit about Emma Donoghue, and she was kind enough to recommend another book of hers.There are two levels at Green Apple and each level has a pretty amazing collection. The store is quite conspicuous, so you cannot miss it from the outside when you’re there.Thank you for being there Green Apple, I’ll be back again soon!

For a used/new bookstore, the prices are pretty unbeatable!Cozily cramped mix of new & used titles in a dreamy, shambling atmosphere. Nooks & crannies abound and the hand-written section markers are a nice touch; it feels like a magical garage sale or a bibliophile’s attic that’s been opened to the public. I love bookshops like this because every find feels like a discovery. Go lose a couple of hours. Though be forewarned: during my browse session two different people came in looking for a restroom and were politely notified that there isn’t one. Come with an empty bladder!

I grew up in the Richmond and remember mom turning me and my brother lose to explore on our own. This place is big, casual, comfy, and incredibly well- stocked. In addition to (seemingly) miles of books, they also have a nice selection of merchandise, stationary, gifts, novelty items, etc. Staff are always cheerful and helpful. Only possible downside is its not wheelchair friendly.

A San Francisco institution! My friends and I have been coming to Green Apple since we were teens. They have an awesome selection of used fiction and non-fiction, used cookbooks, fun knickknacks, California memorabilia, and all the other goodies you could want while hanging out at a bookstore. Knowledgeable service from people who love books. All in all, awesome place to be!
