I will be travelling to San Jose and San Francisco in February/March. Does any forum member from that area want to meet up? Or can anybody recommend a place to get language-learning materials there?

I ordered my copy of Assimil Using French from the European Book Company in San Francisco, but I have never been there in person. The address is 925 Larkin Street and they are closed Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday. www.europeanbook.com

In Berkeley (a short subway ride from San Francisco) there are two very good second hand bookstores that both carry foreign language books (including learning materials):
Moe's Books on Telegraph Ave (http://www.moesbooks.com/moes/; their online cataloge only lists the rare books) and Black Oak on Shattuck Ave (http://www.blackoakbooks.com/) in the Gourmet Ghetto, a place you'll want to visit anyway. Moe's usually has more language-related material, but both are worth checking out. There used to be another great bookstore, Cody's, with a big foreign-language section, but sadly they had to close due to competition from online bookstores. Since you are studying Mandarin, another place you might find interesting is the New China Bookstore in Chinatown, SF (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=New+China +Book+Store+san+francisco&fb=1&split=1&view=text&latlng=9484 933983577361674).
