Spent Independent Bookstore Day at this fine San Francisco establishment which is currently ranked #21 on Huffington Posts's 50 Of The Best Indie Bookstores In America (here).
AND completed the Book Lover Quest challenge of visiting at least 10 independent book stores from the list. It was a fun experience to visit more than my usual three stores in a month. There are two in San Francisco that I still plan to visit for the first time.
