We were drawn in by the huge signs stating liquidation sale, 50% off etc. None of which is true. The books are really badly organized, all over the place, which isn't helpful. The categories are ok, but I found many books not in the correct area of the store. They have books stacked everywhere, in front of other books, on top of other books, on top of shelves, on the floor, everywhere. And not in any order, despite signs stating they are alphabetized by author. Some are, but might under the first, or last name, and some aren't. As I don't mind browsing through books, all of this wouldn't have warrented a 2 star review, that comes from the fact that most of the books are ridiculously priced. I looked a couple of booklets that were from the 50's, grossly outdated, and they wanted 12. I might have bought them for 3. Many of the hard back books were close to new price, even though they were clearly second hand. We did buy a couple of books, because we really wanted them, but we certainly won't be back.

Load of gems hidden here. Its definitely a huge collection of books, and they're currently being reorganized. So look in multiple places if you're needing something specific.
I love this place. I've noticed that a couple people have complained about the owner, but I've always found him to be very kind and helpful. It's really a beautiful bookstore and I highly recommend giving it a visit. I've been there many times since it opened, and never have I had a negative experience. Easily one of my favourite Mission stores.
