SF Indie Bookstore Tour Update

For the walking tour of SF Indie Bookstores happening on Saturday, July 25, we’ve confirmed a reception to conclude the tour at our final stop, The Booksmith. It’ll be a nice gathering of tour attendees with food, beverages, and some nice conversation over what was bought, what wasn’t, what’s still longed after . . . all that good bibliophile stuff.

Here’s the lowdown:

• Starts @ 12:00 pm. Get Lost Travel Books, @ 1825 Market St. Travel extravaganza, with special curated selection of lit-in-translation.

• 12:30. The Green Arcade @ 1680 Market St. Lots of green and sustainable living titles, plus an interesting selection of nonfiction and fiction. Lots of each I haven’t seen anywhere else.

• 1:00. Great Books Symposium, @ 325 Hayes St. The best selection of classics I’ve seen in any one place, hands down. Plus, info on their series of “symposium” book discussion groups.

• 1:30. Books, Inc in the Castro, @ 2275 Market St. More hand-picked fiction and non, great coverage of LGBT titles, and awesome staff picks.

• 2:00. The Booksmith, @ 1644 Haight St. An SF institution, and Vollmann’s home-away-from-home when he’s in SF. There’ll be a special visual presentation here and a reception after we’ve shopped.

Remember, first 30 attendees get the NCIBA canvass bags w/goodies.
