My favorite haunt by CSMobileUser via Citysearch on 7/24/2009
There's a great spirit about this place.
Great Sci-fi Fantasy resource! by ordulph o via Insider Pages on 9/15/2006
This store has the best selection in San Francisco of Science-Fiction and Fantasy books. Since they carry both in and out of print books, you can usually find exactly what you want to find. Their staff is 95% friendly and I shop here…

If science fiction is your thing and you live in the Bay Area, then you probably already know about Borderlands. If not, or if you're new here, Borderlands is a very specialized bookstore--science fiction, fantasy, and horror. That's all…
