If you are not a Bay Area architect or a student in the field, you may not have heard of Bill Stout's fabulous bookstore. But whatever your profession, this bookstore is a fantastic find for the discriminating intellectual or interior decorator in you. This Historic District mainstay will cure your craving for the finest in architecture and design publishing. Latest offerings include Gehry Talks; local hero Steve Tolleson's design book, Soak, Wash, Rinse, Spin; a volume about wild furniture designer Ron Arad; books on Charles and Ray Eames; and a particularly hard-to-find paperback on Australian architect Glen Murcutt. The location is close to chic cafés and stores, for that holistic consumer experience.
