About
You'll find it packed with used books from floor to ceiling. Green Apple Books in the Richmond neighborhood has been a local institution since 1967, and its neon sign makes it look more like a grocery store from the outside. Inside, the shelves are stacked high with everything from literary fiction to obscure titles, and the store also carries music, reflecting its Yelp category as both bookstore and music venue. Hours are the same every day: 10am-9pm, making it an easy stop any day of the week.
The crowd tends to be a mix of serious readers, students, and locals browsing. It's budget-friendly for a neighborhood known for its independent shops. If you're exploring the Richmond, you could also visit Amoeba Music nearby for more records and books. The best time to come is during the week, when it's quieter and you can browse without crowds.
