Folio Books is a queer and woman-owned independent bookshop in Noe Valley, San Francisco founded in 2013. We sell new books, stationery, puzzles, games, and more. We strive to curate a diverse selection of books in all genres with staff specializing in literary fiction, science fiction/fantasy, YA, romance, and children's literature. Our greeting cards, gifts, and stickers showcase many local creators. Our small but mighty team of booksellers has over 50 years of combined experience working in bookstores across San Francisco. We love to provide recommendations to our community, support local authors and creators, and share the one thing that brings us all together: BOOKS!
