Cannot believe I have not learned about this wonderful bookstore owned and operated by the grandson of legendary Wahrenbrock's in La Jolla!
Love, love, LOVE this little, quaint bookstore. The owner is always friendly and very helpful to find an author or title you are looking for. Been coming here for years and look forward to the years to come.
What a lovely place! They have a lot of nice old books, they're good quality, they have a very cute cat, and they're also very kind people. There's a little stand outside with books for 2 dollars and when we went to pay for our books we bought the two books we found inside and they gave us the books from the 2 dollar stand for free :] Very kind people. :D
Lovely store with lovely owners. Not your typical used book store. No romance section taking up most of the space lol. The on-site manager took a shine to my sister so we stayed for awhile.
A nice little Book store. The owners were very friendly and super helpful. A large selection of used and many difficult to find books. Went there with some of my unused books and they checked it out on the spot. Received a good offer. Definitely coming back here for some of their deals and offers next time. Check this place out for yourself and you might find some treasures.
