Rakestraw Books is a gem: small, perfect, and the more you peer into it, endlessly deep. The love of good books animates and inspires the place; the staff is passionate and smart - every visit offers equal measures of entertainment and instruction. And Michael Barnard may just be the best bookseller in the Bay Area - which, given the competition, is high praise indeed.

Founded in 1973, Rakestraw Books is a small, independent bookshop that remains dedicated to the principles espoused by its founders: to sell a variety of books of merit; to help readers discover those books; to sponsor events that bring a diverse range of writers and artists to our community; and to accomplish these tasks in a manner that is both professional and friendly.
