Lighthouse Books is a quaint little shop of used books, a real bookstore for real book lovers. Stepping in feels like entering a different world, full of character, charm, and quiet stories waiting to be found. It is a winding, wonderful bookstore where the books stretch to the ceiling and the aisles are narrow, with more squeezed in than feels possible. It offers a great selection of used books, including rare, hard to find, and unique books across all sorts of genres, sorted and organized alphabetically by genre. It is reminiscent of that used bookstore smell and quirky collection, a treasure hunt where you never know what you’ll find, from Tibetan poetry to timeless classics. As the proprietor says, "Sooner or later, all books end up here." The shop is known for its incredible and unbeatable prices, considered the best prices in the Monterey area. The owner is always kind, which makes shopping there personal. It is the perfect place for someone open to finding a new book rather than searching for a specific author, a pleasure to be lost in where you will absolutely keep coming back.

Bought a copy of Cannery Row here. Where else would you want to buy one?
