I am a lover of books. Reading is a passion and my taste ranges from classics to cookbooks. I also can't resist a great book shop; I love the hunt and have been known to spend many hours reading in the aisles. I had heard for months and months about Omnivore Books in Noe Valley, San Francisco. Unfortunately it took me quite sometime to make it over for a visit, but I have to admit the words better late than never really rung true for me on this trip.
Friends had described it as a little shop filled to the brim with books, new and old, devoted to food & drink. Boy they weren't kidding. I was over-whelmed by the volume and mix of titles they stock. There are shelves and shelves filled with books; luckily the proprietor is a lovely, patient woman who happily answers questions and makes recommendations. I was lucky enough to be able to gift myself a signed copy of Out of the Kitchen by Jeannette Ferrary.
The shop is small and warm with a very knowledgeable staff. If you are looking for a gift this holiday season, for the foodie in your life, they have many signed copies of new and perennial favorites. On a side note this spot used to be a butcher shop; this owner kept some of the old fixtures definitely check them out they really do add to the total fanciful feeling of the store.
