Don't take this wonderful store away! Also, the huge booksales at Fort Mason are run by them and that draws thousands of people. They are a vital part of Fort Mason!

Thank you for signing Rebecca. Have to admit that between the wonderful Reader's Bookstore and Green Apple Books I've acquired a veritable slough of your eloquent writings on gender, history, politics and the art of walking around with open eyes and hearts. You're a treasure yourself!

Besides being a great bookstore and place to hang out, this store has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the SF library system. It makes no sense at all to close it--it's a genuine SF institution.

Damn! I love this place! I find books I'd find nowhere else. It's a treasurehouse and a support to SFPL and it should live forever.

We need independent bookstores to help stymie corporatization of America!

Keep the store. Many families and individuals make it a ritual to go there to purchase books.

The bookstore generates lots of good will for FOSFPL, by being an appealing site and community asset identified with the Friends organization.

Nothing can replace a brick and mortar book store.

Thank you Ward! As an artist and designer of note, you can well appreciate this worthy reservoir of books and images.

A great idea we need to implement this in most major cities.

Books are still physical objects, to hold and to love, and so we need bookstores to ensure this magical companionship. Save this place!

This is one of the best and brightest spots in Ft. Mason. Can we just put things on hold and ask the fort for a rent waiver or reduction for the rest of the year until we see what's up with a vaccine. Please save the Bookstore!!!
