Bound Together is an anarchist bookstore and visitor attraction in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco. Its Lonely Planet review in 2016, commenting on its multiple activities, states that it "makes us tools of the state look like slackers".[1] The bookstore carries new and used books as well as local authors.[2]
The bookstore sits on Haight Street. It is run by a volunteer collective that includes "lifers" who have held shifts there for over decades.[2] Bound Together coordinated the first Bay Area Anarchist Bookfair in 1995,[3] which it continues to host annually in April.[2] It sends books to jails through the Prisoners' Literature Project.[2] A mural outside the bookshop, titled Anarchists of the Americas, painted in the 1990s,[4] depicts prominent American anarchists including Voltairine de Cleyre, Emma Goldman, and Sacco and Vanzetti.[2] The collective has struggled with rapidly increasing rent in San Francisco in which their rent increased twelvefold between 1983 and 2004.[5]
It was founded in 1976 and operated at the corner of Hayes St. and Ashbury St. from then until 1983. Some of the early members included Richard Tetenbaum and Joey Cain.[6] It was named "Bound Together Bookstore" during the 1976-83 period, then took on the formal name "Bound Together: An Anarchist Collective Bookstore".
