Boots to Books walking tour of literary North Beach is here!
Not up to the challenge of a seven-mile ride, or just looking for a new activity? Check out the latest iteration of Bikes to Books: a one-mile walking tour and minizine of literary North Beach. Boots to Books covers some familiar terrain from the Bikes to Books tour, plus new territory and authors, including a foray into Chinatown. For adventurous fans of literature, local history, and Flânerie.
Includes a secret fold-out map! shhhhhhhhh
For the DIY inclined, we’re posting the pdf and folding instructions for the minizine, printable on a single 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper, or you can pick up one already cut and folded for $3 at:
- City Lights Bookstore
- Needles and Pens
- Other Avenues Food Store
- Dog Eared Books
Watch for an opportunity this spring to take the walking tour with us, or seek us out at the #geobeers meetup on Thursday, January 3, at 6PM at Elixir on 16th & Guerrero, where we’ll bring a stack to fold and share.
Let us know if you fold one up by pinging @burritojustice and @enkohl, hashtag #BikesToBooks and #BootsToBooks
Quick folding advice:
- fold in half horizontally, then in quarters (edge to middle).
- if you fold both forward and backwards, it makes it easier to cut later
- fold in half vertically, then in quarters
- cut along the three dotted lines (look for the scissors *don’t go too far, just three squares in)
- find the front cover, and then it should fold into place
And of course, a GIF:

That map is amazing, fits in my boot, well first in a plastic bag then in my boot…gets stinky in there.
That minizine is incredible!
