for books of any sort for babies through adults, i'd highly recommend the catalog :chinaberry(1800-776-2242). The owner describes the catalog as a cozy place for buying books and other treasures fo the entire family. each book is they carry has been carefully selected. their catalog is like a magazine (on newsprint). each book is described in detail. they specialize in children's books, which is how i think they started, but they have branched out a bit. we have greatly enjoyed everything recommended by chinaberry.

I like Cody's both on Telegraph and 4th Street. (While the collection of children's books is definitely smaller at the 4th St store it's easy to shop with my 2-yr old there because she can spend an endless amount of time arranging and rearranging the Peewee Herman-like kids' furniture. If I have a particular book in mind (and even if not) I also like to shop at Amazon.com. I've been able to locate books that are out of general distribution.
