Dillon ChenJanuari 9, 2015If you like to browse your books late at night, this is the place to go. Open till midnight. Staff is super helpful, they don't turn to a computer straight away to find something.Suara positif 3 minggu lalu
Eric SabbanApril 8, 2017Very special, old bookstore. Be sure to spend your time downstairs: it's roomier, not rushed, and have very interesting material. In the post-bookstore era, this one reminds you how great they can be.Suara positif 2 minggu lalu
Anna K.Maret 16, 2016Independent bookstore-publisher est. 1953 and became widely known after publishing Allen Ginsberg in 1956. Today, you can buy all kinds of books here.
Dean MoriartyFebruari 7, 2017If your looking for something new, hip or different. If you're lost and looking for a bible that's significant towards the development of your personal mythology..look no further.
Brian StraussAgustus 14, 2016A legend still doing high volume. Fun to see that they can assert a strong literary perspective in their recommendations and staff picks offline, in today's best seller, Amazon universe.
KaitlinMaret 7, 2017A charming, expansive store! Great selection of fiction, political works, literary magazines, and poetry -- plus friendly, helpful staff.
Sravanti TekumallaJuli 9, 2018The loveliest bookstore in SF. The gems are in the nooks and crannies. Very extensive non-fiction section with place to sit downstairs.
Shawn CalhounOktober 24, 2018The best bookstore in The City! Be sure to make it upstairs to the poetry section.

.:. sAgustus 13, 2015You can feel the history of this place as you go down each and every row of books. Do you like books? You have to check it out.
Liza PNovember 15, 2015The best book store in the world! Legendary place, and the people who work here actually read. Always ask for recommendations.
robb wongJuni 24, 2013Parada obligatoria en el tour literario de San Francisco. Después de estar viendo los libros, vale la pena tomarse una cerveza enfrente, en el bar Vesuvio, lugar al q solían ir Kerouac y los beatniks
Allison AbbottJuni 29, 2015Not as funky as I would have imagined it to be, but great selection (and obviously a worthwhile landmark for any lover of books or beatniks) nonetheless
KarenJanuari 14, 2023Has a good amount of literary works. Three floors total. Take your time and browse.
J TNovember 13, 2018Come here for the books and for a slice of history. Also check out the room on the second floor for events.
Tom EvansApril 7, 2013This place is fantastic in its selection of books, historical significance and proximity to the Beat Museum! Worth the trip to visit.
Jonathan DiazJuli 19, 2015So much history here. Go up to the poetry section and check out all the posters from Beat authors on the wall
Michelin Travel & LifestyleFebruari 5, 2013Relax with a book in the original Beatnik hangout, the first all-paperback bookstore in America when poet-owner Lawrence Ferlinghetti opened the doors in 1953. - Green Guide Editor
Henna Abbas MerchantJuli 7, 2016One of my favorites!! They're open late, making city lights a great place to hang out after a few drinks :)
Bobak EsfandiariFebruari 17, 2016Support excellent and civic minded bookstores! This is the beating heart of our first amendment.
SEGAJanuari 5, 2012An integral part of SF's beatnik history. The original publishers of Howl, they have a great beatnik section as well as other great books. - Kellie, Community Manager
squeaselOktober 8, 2014Any bookstore where you can shop till midnight, and catch Daniel Handler in a fez playing the accordion, cannot be a bad bookstore.
Bookstores don't get any better than this! Founded in San Francisco in 1953 during the Beat Era, it contains three floors of books, all housed in an historic building.
No public bathroom. The science fiction section is small and at the very back of the basement. They have great graphic novels. :)- Kian LaviNovember 17, 2015One of many amazing bookstores in the city. I get lost in writers every time I come here
Angie HarmonJanuari 9, 2016Extremely interesting book curation here. Really very unique in what it stocks, even among independent bookstores.
Juliana SaaOktober 7, 2019Un lugar lleno de nostalgia y buena literatura. Caminar por Culumbus St., tomarte un trago en el Vesuvio y luego ir a la biblioteca.

HISTORYMaret 29, 2010In 1956 founder Lawrence Ferlinghetti published Alan Ginsberg's beatnik classic poem "Howl", and faced obscenity charges for it. In a landmark ruling, the poem was protected by the First Amendment.
Paul FarrellOktober 13, 2015Sure it is of historical significance, but don't lose sight of the fact that it is a cracking bookstore
m dSeptember 20, 2016Cool bookstore they're open until midnight. Their collections are surely interesting.
Thought I wouldn't be able to find a replacement for NYC's Stand Book Store but.. this place is even better. Words, knowledge, ideas emanate from those shelves like no other.
Monica CAgustus 17, 2014Make sure you give yourself enough time here for some thorough browsing. I could easily spend hours here.
Rodrigo KanayamaJanuari 22, 2015Excelente livraria. Muita variedade, bons títulos e ótima classificação. Melhor que as grandes redes, com certeza.
MartinaJuni 6, 2019OMG. Absolutely worth it for beat generation fans. I totally love this bookstore. I need back.
Jonathan KramerAgustus 15, 2014Exactly what you want from an independent bookstore. It's quiet, has charm and a good selection.
Tiana DangerApril 23, 2015This place is magical. Get lost in it. And take a flick by the door- you'll know which one when you see it 😉
melMei 28, 2015Pequeña, atiborrada de libros, con gran variedad... ¡perfecta! además de tener su propia editorial publicando escritores locales
Owen HauptDesember 20, 2018It's so awesome! Take the Detour (app) called The Beat Generation and visit City Lights to learn some history of the Beats.
