Folio Books

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

After 10 years of being your neighborhood bookstore, we are sad to announce that Folio Books will be closing our doors. This journey has been humbling and gratifying. We are proud to have been a part of Noe Valley and the Bay Area book community. We have been shown so much love and support and are thankful that Noe Valley values local small businesses.  Our mission from our first day of business was to make Folio Books a welcoming and warm place for anyone who entered, and we are beyond grateful for our patrons and community members who have responded in kind. We know Noe Valley will continue to be a place for collaboration and friendship.  Folio Books was only possible because of our staff of booksellers, both past and present. Their tireless efforts have been awe-inspiring. They have gone above and beyond to make recommendations, find that “one book with the red cover,” and share their passion for books with everyone who walks through the door. They have always been the heart of Folio Books.  Thank you all again so much for the most amazing 10 years.

With love,
Folio Books

FAQ
Will I receive my prepaid preordered book?: We will contact all customers to arrange refunds for preordered books or arrange to have the book shipped directly to you. If you ordered a signed copy of a book, we will contact you about the author’s preferred alternative bookstore for preorders. 

Why is the bookstore closing?: The decision to close Folio Books was an intensely personal one for all five co-owners. We hope you will respect our privacy during this difficult time as we and our staff say goodbye to what has been our home away from home for the past 10 years. While we may not be able to answer every question, please come laugh with us, cry with us, and share your memories.
