My favorite bookstore by Allison I. via Judy's Book on 6/6/2006
I absolutely love Booksmith on Haight Street. This is the perfect place to go if you're looking to browse for a new book. They always have great selections featured on their tables, and good recommendations from the staff. They also get…
booksmith by Jason D. via Judy's Book on 6/3/2006
Booksmith is the only store in the Haight that sells new books. That seems crazy at first thought, but I guess it says something about something. Or maybe not. I always assumed from the name that it was one of those mall style bookstore…
Tourist-oriented with shallow selection by ordulph o via Insider Pages on 3/28/2006

Independent bookstore in the Haight by Tung P. via Judy's Book on 8/21/2005
The Booksmith is a decent sized bookstore. It's the only one on the Haight, at least that sells new books. The staff is knowledgeable and not overly earnest like you'll find in some small stores. The offer a good mix of mainstream and less…
Booksmith by Sibyl G via Insider Pages on 8/14/2005
This book store has your typical selection of reading materials, but the service staff are rude and less then helpful. I have attempted to shop there on a number of occasions and always end up feeling like an idiot. They do have a good…
