Quick Update: Pop-ups and San Francisco(!)

Tomorrow at this time I will be on a flight to San Francisco for a very exciting, not-work-related trip to the Bay Area. If you recall, the city made the news twice in last week's round up. While I don't expect to have too much downtime, I am hoping to catch one of these pop-up bookstores in action on Friday afternoon. The only one I know for sure will be open is Scanners, which seems pretty compelling. Hopefully I'll get a chance to stop by and snap a few pictures. Or... is that allowed?! I'm getting the vibe from the artsy website that it might not be... Anyway, if anyone knows of any other pop-ups in the area, let me know.

And since I'm on the topic of San Francisco, the city has a host of amazing indie bookstores that are not pop-ups. I recommend City Lights, which is both a bookshop and a publisher. Similarly, Modern Times Bookstore has been an important part of SF's Mission District for 40 years. Both are worth a look if you find yourself in the area.
