Nicholas JavierAugust 8, 2014Too much great to say about this place. Good lightning, lots of unique selection and good recommendations. The used books boxes are fantastic, and always updated. (And full)- Wilson Favre-DelerueSeptember 19, 2016Enormous bookstore offering books and periodicals aplenty alongside a well curated selection of fiction and non-fiction staff favourites.
Bookshop Santa CruzJuly 9, 2013We buy used books every day of the week, first-come-first-served, starting at 9am. Line up on Front St. before we open, or call us at 9 to make a same-day appointment. Limited space available!
One of my favorite bookstores! Definitely feels like a local bookseller and community institution. Good collection from across the literary spectrum.- Ann Marie BNovember 9, 2014Great selection of new books. Use the staff selections to guide what you choose, because they have great taste!
Great bookstore. Wide selection. Knowledgeable employees.

Kimberly AllenSeptember 14, 2013I love this bookstore so much. Since Monterey lost its major bookstore, I have so deprived.....
Stanley PrattDecember 21, 2011Some great books on the history of this area. The one on Hwy 17 is fascinating.
Vincent StrifeMay 1, 2012Don't go here if you want to be respected by the employees. I have never been treated with such rudeness before. Order your books online.
