It's the best time of the year for San Franciscan book lovers-- September means it's time for the largest book sale on the West Coast! The 46th Annual Big Book Sale was held at Fort Mason this weekend by The Friends of the San Francisco Public Library. It's a giant warehouse sale of books and media from all genres, and all proceeds benefit the San Francisco Public Library. Today was the last day of the sale, so everything was $1 or less! With over 300 tables and a selection of over 300,000 titles, book lovers from all over the Bay Area can come home with bags full of treasures.

So many books.
