Welcome to Green Apple Books and Music. Our store on Clement Street in San Francisco has been a destination for bibliophiles for over 38 years. We buy, sell, and trade new and used books, CDs, and DVDs seven days a week. We offer a huge and carefully chosen selection of new and used books.

While we’re proud of our humble website, we encourage you to see the real thing, the reason Green Apple is consistently voted the best bookstore in the Bay Area. Please pay us a visit if you’re in town or call the store to check on a particular item.

Click the KFOG logo to see the most recent books reviewed by Green Apple's own Kevin Hunsanger on KFOG's morning show. And don't forget to visit the KFOG Archives where you can read and listen to Kevin's past gift suggestions!
