B,

The two musts are City Lights and Green Apple. Green Apple is north of Russian Hill at 506 Clement Street and has a superior used Poetry section (top floor at the back). It had it all there. Really. Except for The Pines, which was glaringly absent, though, who would sell that back?
For music, go to Amoeba near Haight/Ashbery--unbeatable for used cds. They have Everything.
Have too much fun. What are some of your other plans?

And if you really want to splash out completely looking at books, you have to also cross the bridge and go into Berkeley.

Pegasus Books Downtown on Shattuck, Moe's Books on Telegraph, and SPD.

City Lights and Green Apple it is. And, on to Berkeley if we have time, which I hope we do... We've already mapped out our "vacation" to Amoeba, and I've sold both of my wooden legs to be able to afford everything that I'm going to buy. Zach - any books that you regret not buying, that you want me to pick up for you?
