Escape the hustle and bustle of downtown San Francisco at Alexander Book Company, just a half block from the Montgomery Street BART Station. Once inside this three-story book haven (accessible elevator available for patrons) you will find everything from top selling New York Times blockbusters to unique choices in the foreign literature, California historical, essays and music sections. Don’t forget to look for the Indies Introduce Debut Authors titles as you walk throughout the store.
