"On any given day, [Green Apple] feels less like a destination and more like a natural part of life in the Richmond, a space where time softens, curiosity leads and the simple act of reading becomes something shared."

Thanks for including us, Su Yardimci!

Remembering Debbie Berne, book designer and big laugher Berne designed the β€œBerkeley Bowl Cookbook” and played banjo at music festivals around the West Coast.

We just learned that book designer Debbie Berne died at the end of 2025. Debbie was bright and funny with a keen eye for design. She was also a former Green Apple bookseller that we held in the highest of esteem. Sending our condolences to those who loved her most ❀️🍏

San Francisco is Dead A free event calendar compiled by the editors of McSweeney’s, an independent nonprofit publishing house based in San Francisco.

We love this new project from @mcsweeneys.net that wants to get us off of social media and out in the world together.

DreamHaven Books owner Greg Ketter emerging from a cloud of tear gas that ICE agents fired into the streets of Minneapolis.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will β€” now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

@annaleen.bsky.social I finally had time today to open up my package from @greenapplebooks.bsky.social and was so delighted to find it signed by both you and @charliejane.bsky.social! I’m just past the worst (I hope!) of an incredibly grueling move, and this was such a bright spot. Thank you both! ❀️
