Which is the best specialty bookstore in San Francisco Bay?

It's Borderland Books! Yes, we're happy and proud to update you that Borderland Books was chosen in the recent Best of the Bay poll in the San Francisco Bay Guardian as the Best Specialty Bookstore!

Borderland is a unique bookstore and is San Francisco's home for science fiction, fantasy, and horror books. It carries both new and used titles within their specialties, as well as eclectic periodicals, British imports, small press titles, videos and DVDs and many other items of interest to the fan or collector of genre literature. And no, you won't find there items such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Star Trek books.

As mentioned Borderland Books is part of Eco-Libris bookstores program, which means that customers customers at the store can plant a tree for every book they buy there and receive our sticker at the counter.

Kudos to Borderlands and if you're in SF and a fan of science fiction, fantasy or horror books don't forget to visit them. The store is opened 7 days a week and the address is: 866 Valencia, SF. You can find more information on their website: http://www.borderlands-books.com/. Don't forget to check out the events calendar - they host authors almost every week and have many other interesting events.

Yours,

Raz @ Eco-Libris

Eco-Libris is now available in two more bookstores

At the beginning of the month we announced here that you can find Eco-Libris stickers in three independent bookstores in Northern California, all of them members of the Northern California Independent Booksellers Association (NCIBA), which Eco-Libris is proud to work with.

Now I am happy to update you that Eco-Libris stickers are available in two more independent bookstores:

1. Borderlands Books - 866 Valencia Street, San Francisco, CA 94110, http://www.borderlands-books.com. Borderland Books is specializing in and selling only Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror (both used and new ones). It is also a NCIBA member.

2. Mary Jane Books - 215 Western Ave. Albany, NY 12203, http://www.maryjanebooks.com. Mary Jane Books is located on the corner of Western and Quail in beautiful Albany, NY and is independently owned and operated by SUNY graduates.

In these bookstores you can buy a book and balance it right there on spot. You will receive a sticker of Eco-Libris that you can proudly display on the new book, and of course a new tree will be planted to balance out the paper used for printing your new book.

If you're a bookstore owner and you want to get more details on how you can join the list of bookstores that provide their customers with the opportunity to balance out the books they bought on spot, please email us at: bd [AT] ecolibris [dot] net
