San Francisco graphic novelist Raina Telgemeier has grown in popularity with every new release. Her latest illustarted memoir “Guts” was the top-selling book in the entire United States when it came out in October 2019, leapfrogging recent releases from Malcolm Gladwell and Stephen King.
But she still keeps returning to an aging school desk at Green Apple Books on Clement Street in San Francisco, which has sold thousands of signed books from Telgemeier since she moved back to the city in 2015.
