Sometimes I feel as if I'm from the last generation that loves bookstores. A lot of them are starting to disappear. I used to spend my Sunday afternoons visiting three different bookstores. Two of the three are long gone.

I've visited most of the famous ones around the world. I rarely visit SF without a stop at City Lights, the place has a soul.

If you haven't been, Green Apple Books on Clement street is also great.

Green Apple’s Inner Sunset location on 9th is also great. Their staff book recommendations are solid. I feel like I usually enjoy their recommendations, even for books I would not buy/read otherwise (bursts the filter bubble).

Judging from the age of the staff I see in bookstores, you are not from the last generation. (Unless you, like them, are under thirty.)
