cute shop with just the right thing 9/3/2005

This is a quaint neighborhood book shop in the french quarter of russian hill on polk street. They have two distinct sections, one of ceiling high books and another of cards, journals and knick knacks. I haven't bought many books there, although their selection seems thorough, but I always find the right card from their eclectic choices. You are not buying generic walgreens cards, and the "funny" cards are honestly funny. This is not a common place! I also recommend taking a glance at thier sidewalk bin while walking by, of $2 paperbacks and $5 hardbacks. Nice perk that they are open until 10pm, great for after dinner walks. more

Owner Message

  • Russian Hill Bookstore is located in the Russian Hill district of San Francisco; featuring quality used books, gifts, and greeting cards.

    Russian Hill Bookstore is a popular, independently owned, general used bookstore. Owner Carol Spencer opened Sunset Bookstore in 1974 and in 2001 merged its inventory into her second store, Russian Hill Bookstore. The store is popular with local artists, designers, architects, writers, and art collectors. Tourists are always happy to discover the store as they walk the streets of the City and are particularly excited by the extensive selection of high quality blank note cards, journals, and gifts. In the fall the store carries an array of calendars and holiday cards. A recent addition to the store is a special selection of gifts, ephemera, and old sheet music.

    We have books to satisfy every interest from aviation to zoology. Our selection includes art, cookbooks, children's books, history, rare editions, sheet music, ephemera, aud io books and more.
