I love bookstores. My husband and I regularly have our "date night" in a bookstore. Spending an hour or two wandering around grabbing a selection of books to keep us busy for the next few weeks... Its a perfect evening as far as I'm concerned.Green Apple Books, one of our favorites, has been around for over 40 years. They buy, sell, and trade new and used books, cds and dvds. They have been voted Best Bookstore in the Bay Area many times over and have 4.5 yelp stars with over 670 reviews!
Green Apple Books has a "FREE" box for books they can not use. It's filled and emptied and refilled throughout the day, mostly by people whose books they could not buy for whatever reason. They also have children's books on "remainder" (as-new books at less than half the original price). The owner told me that on Sunday mornings, the store is always full of parents buying remaindered kids books on their way birthday parties. So much better than a plastic peice of crap.
So lets see..... free books, low cost children's books and a place where you can sell your used books. Oh wait, the best part: SUPPORTING A LOCAL INDEPENDENT STORE. The more and more I learn about the importance of shopping locally, the more I am convinced that it is the single most important thing each of us can do to help right the economic conditions we find ourselves in.
