An amazing bookstore that will hold you hostage for hours if you allow it to. A diverse selection of books new and rare. Jessica one of the 2 owners goes above and beyond to ensure every customer feels “special” as she and the RHBS team value everyone!! I was simply thrilled my rare and unexpected find on Mary Queen of Scots signed by the author. While in SFO, if you love books this is a must do!! Visit, you will NOT be disappointed.

Heard great things about this bookshop, so naturally I needed to experience it for myself. There were a ton of cute gifty items and plenty of greeting cards to go around. It felt like a good balance of books and stationery, which I always enjoy.

This ancient bookstore is a treasure trove of history and knowledge, where the scent of aged paper and the quiet whispers of the past create an atmosphere of timeless wonder. Its shelves, brimming with rare and forgotten tomes, invite exploration and discovery. The store’s charm lies not only in its vast collection but also in the stories etched into the walls and worn bindings. It is a sanctuary for curious minds and a haven for those who cherish the written word.

What a gem! It used to be bigger but that is still exists is a marvel! Huge specialized sections about ART, war, countries, design, poetry, California, travel, games, women, fiction, photography …. Also a very big antique section. They also have greeting cards, souvenirs and Knick knacks. Come and support this jewel. Not many used bookstores left and this is a good one!
