Went here today to get some new books, a good variety of classics and more modern books. Very affordable too. The staff I met today are super nice and knowledgeable. Nice little spot.

Came into the shop as a visitor, but I loved the staff and their selections. If I lived in San Diego, I'd be a regular.

COOL STORE ! We stepped inside here to buy some books for our 7 year old grand daughter. My wife is better at this stuff than me so I headed across the road to Tang Records ( a waste of time ). Mary the manager helped out a bit and my wife bought $54 worth of books for our little girl !

Great Mom & Pop shop surviving as one of the few enduring vestiges of nostalgia that I hope will persevere in this newfound age of screen-to-screen sociality we seem to now exist. Friendly & fun with super well-priced used books, 5 for $4 table and will research & order rare manuscripts for you as well as let you leave your bags while you strole the hood and/or shop more! Great music always playing, interesting inventory, memorabilia & art to peruse and an overall enjoyable atmosphere! A++++

no. They insist on paying for the used books they sell. YES, I KID ;) They are the best placed for used books. If you bring them books they will accept them even if only to donate charitably. ☀️SHINE!!!☀️ 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

If I mail you a postcard, will you consider selling my book in your stores? It is available in bulk from Authorhouse, and under authorhouse login, if you enter Assassination Instruction by Gary Lee Puckett, you should be able to see the book.

I have a complete set of Child Craft books from 1939, full set of Young Folks treasury from 1917 and one book titled "The Patchwork Girl" 1913. All are in very good to excellent condition. Are they worth anything? Do you take books on contingency?

What are the requirements for them to buy books

Good physical condition, has to be something they feel they can resell.

How’s the comic book selection here?

Pretty decent. Depends on what kind youre looking for. They also have an online catalog available on their website - if you know what you're looking for. Hope this helps !

Is there a good selection of children’s books?

Tahlor Zook | Aug 18, 2018

A good range of age groups for kids books, and if you are looking for something specific, if they don't have it they will order it for you.
