The Rebound Bookstore is located in a popular strolling area of coffee houses, bagel shops, antique and music stores, galleries and specialty shops, at 1611 4th Street in San Rafael, California, a comfortable village on the bay, just a few minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge off highway 101 and light-years away from mall culture. It is near the land of California gold, Sir Francis Drake's landing, Mark Twain, Dashell Hammet, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Kerouac, Ken Kesey, and George Lucas' Dream Works Studio. The area is home to two National poet laureattes (former national Poet Laureate Robert Hass, and current poet Kaye Ryan.) Its an area with more poets, playwrights, novelists, scientists, analysts and ism-makers, modern and post- than you can stuff into a corner coffee house.

As you can see we are also right in your own home, studio, or office. Writers and rock stars, punks and professors, poets and pundits as well as the modern word pirates and media speakers of the 21st century are found in and around our store. And now you are here with us.

The Rebound Bookstore caters to the traditional reader with an entire wall of current and classic fiction, an EXPANDED section of sci-fi and mysteries, and for those of us who just want it down and cheap, we've put up a well stocked section of TRRAAASH!, with romance novels, war and urban thrillers for those cold rainy nights or slow dreamy Sundays.
