- Worst bookstore in San Francisco: Forever After Books - Haight-Ashbury - San Francisco, CA 94117

Your Say
James Lileks is a truly wonderful author. He has a great perspective on politics and pop culture. He's rather like an anti-Garrison Keillor...much wittier, insightful, a real person who likes the USA and not afraid to be an average American. Cheers to Lileks and may he continue to grace the web for many more years.
