William Stout Books

Fittingly, William Stout Architectural Books is located in an 1850's office building in San Francisco's first official Historic District, that rare downtown collection of 1906 earthquake and fire survivors Jackson Square, a excessively charming enclave, filled mostly with antiquities dealers, shadowed by the leviathans of the Financial District. An enormous selection of titles devoted to architecture, design, the decorative arts, fine arts, and urban planning. Tomes technical and artistic, new and used, with architect monographs and some offerings published in-house.

I pocketed several local interest titles before seeking lunchtime pasta in nearby North Beach.
