Apple Seed: A New Addition to the Green Apple Books Family
Green Apple Books rocks my world! This mostly-used bookstore has been a San Francisco staple for over 40 years, feeding the minds and hearts of thousands of customers with millions of nutritious, yummy reads. Green Apple is the bookstore where I once ventured to sell some of my less loved books in a fit brought about by too little space in my apartment (to shelve all my books) and too little income (to, ironically, buy more books). I was amazed by the expertise of the book buyer there – would love to sit on his shoulder for a day – and have since happily meandered for hours through the enticing nooks and shelves of Green Apple Books.
On December 26th, they are opening the Apple Seed, where they will hold a warehouse clearance sale. Green Apple wants to reduce their overflowing inventory and is pricing these books to sell - "50-75% off the already low used or sale price." Empty your canvas totes and backpacks, this is serious stuff. The Apple Seed is located at 248 Clement Street at 4th Avenue (just two blocks away from Green Apple). Many of you might recognize Apple Seed as the old Busvan for Bargains storefront, a place dear to my heart for helping me throughout my twenties to furnish many an apartment.
A few doors down is Minh’s Garden (208 Clement), which is hands-down my favorite spot for Vietnamese anywhere. Go, say hello to Kim the owner, and have the imperial rolls, pho ga, or chicken rice in clay pot.
If you need the info, Green Apple is located at 506 Clement Street (cross-street is 6th Avenue) in the Inner Richmond, where it is surrounded by a delicious mix of restaurants and Asian markets. Eat, read, and be happy.
