Robin's is cool, and is across from Izzo if you want to check out whether they've got any good Costume National. Tons of magazines.

There are a couple nice used book stores on 2nd St. just north of Market, but for the life of me I can't remember their names. One has an incredibly chill cat who hangs around most of the day. I have no idea why I can't remember either of the bookstores' names.

damn, they probably went out and spent the money on patches or bagels...i had made some xeroxed graff/music zines while traveling thru there like six years ago and left a couple there for free..
