They sell just about any hippie or new age item you could want: books, reference books, spellbooks, tarot cards, incense, incense holders, sage smudge sticks, candles, crystals, wands, singing bowls, deity figurines, totem animal statues, prayer flags, and embossed velvet bags to hold all the pretties in. They even have a "reader" (which I presume is of the tarot card or palm variety) in the shop on most weekends. But you don't need to be a earth magic practioner or wood nymph to enjoy On Purpose's wares. They also have plenty of gifts, cards, art, gorgrous jewelry and home & garden decor. The friendly staff will be happy to help you find whatever you're looking for.

They have used and brand new books, but buying used that are still in in mint condition and low price is amazing. We were told that they accept used books of any kind and will get a lifetime credit that never expires. Once you get a credit and buys a used book, the price will be less 50% from the written price. This is an awesome deal. We will surely come back here.

They just don't have too many bookstores left like this one. As the name suggests, you can bring your gently used books in and they will keep a record of them, and you will receive a discount of roughly half off of whatever you decide to buy in exchange for bringing in your old books. This turns out to be a great value considering the good condition and broad variety of the books that they carry. We can always find something good to read, and the price is definitely always easy on the pocketbook. The lovely people who work here are very well informed. I was looking for a classic by Pearl S Buck, and she knew exactly where it was located in the store. I have confidence in these guys, and I know that I can check with them before I go look elsewhere. A must see for any avid reader or bibliophile.

It felt like they actually know what readers are excited about because they had so many of the newer, popular books in stock instead of just one copy tucked away on a shelf. The staff was incredibly kind, and the best part of the whole visit was spotting a signed copy of Caraval in the window for my stepdaughter's birthday. It felt like one of those little moments that was meant to happen. Basically... if you need an excuse to wander Sutter Street and accidentally leave with a stack of books, this is it.

The inside was pretty big with adult books in the middle, children's book on one side and crafts on the other - such as yarn, ribbons and even greeting cards. They also sold lotions, soaps and lots of book accessories. Staff kept to themselves and didn't really ask if we needed assistance finding books which I thought was odd, but they weren't necessarily unfriendly either. The few books I looked at, seemed to sell for face value and nothing was marked up or down. Overall, I thought it was a nice store and would stop in for another visit the next time I'm in town.
