ET AL. BOOKS

In the back front of our Mission gallery, 2831 Mission, San Francisco. New and used books.

Jackie’s pics: an every-other-month subscription service in which Jackie Im chooses a book for us all to read.

Jackie will select a book that she has either read and loved or a soon-to-be-released book that she's excited about. Each book will be accompanied by a little written text by Jackie and links to interesting related content online.

Selected books will be mostly fiction (with a few non-fiction, essays, or poetry sprinkled in) and will hopefully be something that you love as well. Books can be shipped as well as be picked up in our shop in the Mission

->$120 (collected at the bookstore)
->$140 (shipped anywhere in the US)

The only thing we care about as much as (or more than) art is reading and books but also maybe food…

Presented with the space to do something in our mission gallery, our thoughts quickly went to a thought we had now and then: having a bookstore. We spent the majority of our free weekend time out looking for books and reading some of the things we got.

Our concept: a tightly-edited array of new fiction and art books: the books we love and/or want to own/read.

Then a collection of vintage treasures: art, science fiction, fiction… good books, and lots of them. And maybe some vinyl. And who knows what else. We’re working with selectors who bring an inventory of incredible stuff that it will be hard not to just take home ourselves.

We’ll see where this goes. Maybe we’ll take your orders, getting you any book you are looking for. Maybe we’ll publish some things (we’ve done a smidge of publishing in the past).

What do you want from a new bookstore? Let us know and if it’s something we’re interested in doing we’ll try to make it happen.

Looking for a book?

Our stock will vary wildly from day-to-day - we are carrying the best books we can find new and used, and the best used books our partners are willing to let us stock.

But, while we can’t do a stock check for a title, we CAN find you anything you are looking for - we have access to a vast catalog of new books for you, and can work with you to get anything your heart desires. Contact us
