Parnassus Books | An Independent Bookstore For Independent People

Update

We are now open for browsing Monday-Saturday 10am to 6pm, and Sunday 12-6pm. Please click here for our safety guidelines. We are also still offering curbside pick up! Simply place your online order, wait for the email that your order is ready, and a friendly bookseller will deposit it safely in your vehicle, contact-free. We can also ship your books.

To get started, look up the book you want in the search bar in the upper right. (Or click here.) That's also where your cart will be.

Not sure what you want? Check out our Staff Picks, Bestsellers, or bookseller-curated Reading Lists — including our Anti-Racist Books list and Anti-Racist Books for Young Readers. We also have Book Bundles: You choose the genre, we choose the book and extras!
