"Book lovers will fall head over heels for the Ateneo Grand Splendid, definitely one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world. But beyond the ornate bookshop, Buenos Aires is a great place for readers. From traditional bookshops (Eterna Cadencia, Clásica y Moderna, Aquilanti y Fernández Blanco) to street vendors in parks (Parque Centenario and Parque Rivadavia) to alternative cozy places like La Internacional Argentina (a place to discover new Argentine talent), Walrus (with books in English), and La Revistería (for comics and manga), book nerds will certainly find what they’re looking for." - MATADOR_NETWORK

My favourite bookstore around the world. They write a note of introduction/summary/review for most of the displayed books. Love the vibe there too. Can’t wait to be back.

This is a wonderful bookstore!! You can really feel the love for books and I wish I wasn’t just visiting the area, but lived nearby and that this was my bookstore ❤️ Large selection, well organized and lovingly displayed. Lots of fun treasures for book lovers, including wrapped books with a single sentence written on the wrapper. The young woman at the register was friendly and welcoming. Loved everything about Booksmith. Accessible, with items both high and low within reach.

Booksmith is a beautiful and well-curated bookstore on Haight Street, and one I would recommend visiting if you’re in San Francisco. There are so many good reads here - the only thing preventing me from buying all of them was I didn’t have enough room in my suitcase… :) Each book genre is not extensive, as it’s a indie bookshop, but it’s thoughtfully intentional and there’s something for everyone. I thought their recommended books were also well chosen! If you are shopping for kids… The children’s section has beautiful picture books, graphic novels and books from early readers through YA. There’s also an assortment of wrapping paper and cards, if you need to gift your purchase.

Love this bookshop - cozy, special, friendly, well-stacked. They hand-write these beautiful department-signs and the staff sticks notes with book-reviews next to the books. Awesome. Drop in when you are near. Absolutely worth it!

This place *is* Dog Friendly! I couldn't find thatvlisyed anywhere explicitly, but their Instagram showcased Dogs that had visited so decided to try my luck when I was road tripping from Seattle to California and we love to visit bookstores and I was traveling with my dog so wanted a place where we could all stop and stretch our legs a bit. Found this place and they said my little Mia was welcome to come in as we shopped. They are small but have a good variety. I liked there "It was love at first line" section which is a wrapped book with the first line written on the wrapping and if it was a hardback ($7) / paperback ($5) and fiction / non-fiction. My friend had been debating on buying a book at another store but decided not to spend the $30 and fate shined upon her and she bought a hard back, only to unwrap it and find the book she wanted at the last store! It was a fun surprise. Since it is San Francisco, parking was tough, but after a few circles around the blocks nearby we were able to find a spot, and spent $1.80 for 45 mins.

Great selection of new and old. We in particular love the new school classics that they have with the brightly colored binding covers, bringing classics into this century for a new generation of readers and collectors. Awesome finds also include the DIY dust jacket paper, literary onesies, notebooks and journals, and calendars.

Amazing selection! Awesome place with friendly staff! They have wrapping paper that can duo as posters that are super great quality and very cheap! Definitely recommend!
