One of the coolest Bay Area bookstores, just for their sheer selection. There's not only a PLETHORA of books to choose from, but munchies too! What's more to ask for? There's a whole section dedicated to self-published authors. It's a must visit every time I'm in the neighborhood.

I love stopping by at this borders. They have a great selection of books, magazines, music, etc. And the best part is that you can sit there easily and read through their items while sipping on a coffee from the cafe.
