Any chance I get to stop by here is amazing. This place is magical: rare, vintage, reference, and odd books, vintage prints and sheet music... in every category you could imagine. Half the fun is the discovery as you wander through narrow passage ways, looking through shelves as high as the ceiling. Definitely a gem!

The gentleman who rings out my purchases at every visit to this store has always been so knowledgeable and welcoming. He gave great recommendations based on the books I bought and introduced me to my new favorite author. Amazing store, wonderful experience!

Wow! What a treasure trove. An authoritative collection of scholarly studies and classics along with fun finds for everyone. Some new, some used, and some very collectible. Worth the short walk up Girard Street.

A true bookstore gem. Selling new and used books, this is the kind of place you could lose a few hours perusing the bookshelves. The owners are delightful and very helpful, and have been in the book business for over 40 years. Every corner of this unique shop is filled to the brim, with an extensive and unique collection of books. They definitely don't make them like this anymore.

amazing selection of new and used books (in the back). Nearly every genre is well represented, and if you’re a serial book-browser, you will have a hard time leaving this place. I have spent hundreds of dollars a year here, easily. The prices are about the same as you would find on Amazon, they don’t over-charge for used books which is very refreshing. This is one of the few bookstores I still visit. Warwick’s across the street is good, too, but this one has a much deeper selection. I mean you will find a book on 12th century Jewish theology if you look hard enough. It’s incredible. I don’t know what the other reviewers are talking about in regards to the staff members being mean. They are older, they may be curt, but not mean. If you’re looking for a serious place to book-browse, go here; if you want a place that will hold your hand and treat you like royalty… I wouldn’t expect that from a book shop

Families with children, do NOT go here. I should have read a few reviews before attempting to visit this bookstore. You are made to feel very unwelcomed. There are at least 3 very wordy "warnings" posted in the store for families with infants to wear their babies. My children are not infants but I still felt the oppression of the shopkeeper's attitude. I wanted to support a local bookstore and I've always had great experiences, but this is not one I can add to the list. My children did not do anything to harm these books except touch regular, non collectable children's books at the front of the store. Honestly, how is a kid supposed to pick out a book if you don't even let them take it out and look at it? If families and children are not welcomed, my suggestion is to not offer any children's books.

It is a beautiful little bookstore. Definitely a place to visit in San Diego! We found out about it last week because they were hosting a book reading for Yale professor Marci Shore presenting her new book "The Ukrainian Night". We really enjoyed it! I think this book store was around for a while and became very famous in the area. They host many books readings with famous authors, and they have many beautiful old books for sale. Highly recommended!

This book store has character. And it has quite a few books. They have all types of genres and walking through and seeing everything is like a fun little maze. There’s also a back section with many used books for a reduced price. The guy who I’m assuming owns it is kind, quite intelligible, and very sociable.
