By - posted 6/24/2021 No Comment

A Book Scavenger Hunt is coming to San Francisco on June 27th and yes, you can keep any books you find. The concept originated in Los Angles 6 months ago, but now it’s coming to San Francisco for the first time.

“We’re excited to be starting The S.F. Book Scavenger Hunt. We started The LA Book Scavenger Hunt 6 months ago and are looking forward to hiding books throughout North Beach, Nob Hill, The Lower Haight, and many other neighborhoods.”

How to participate?
Images of the books will be posted online on Sunday at 2 pm; each image contains a link to the location coordinates. Click on the photo and follow the link to view the book’s location and if the book has been found. Most participants click the found button, but some do not; a “No” could mean that the book is still available. You can also use the full list at Morphkey, linked below.

Featured authors will include some more famous writers since this is our first SF event: Look for Julio Cortazar’s Hopscotch, Haruki Murakami’s Absolutely on Music, Fernando Pessoa’s The Book of Disquiet, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s Strange Pilgrims, Anna Kavan’s Ice, Kobo Abe’s The Box Man, Robert Walser’s Berlin Stories, Tete-Michel Kpomassie’s An African in Greenland, and more!
