“This is ascended master Alex I like this shop a lot and they even had tiny crystals for my magical dolls, they have the essentials although I did not find any tigers eye there”
“One of my very favorite bookstores in San Diego! Huge selection, beautiful interior, and helpful staff. There's always something interesting to find on these shelves!”
“If your into some romantic, fun, spicy, and even cozy reads, this cute little nook of a book shop in the heart of La Mesa is just the spot to quench your thirst. ;) ❤️”
“My favorite book store for sure, I always love to go and peruse the zine library even if I don't have a lot to spend, I can usually get some local zines for $10 or less. Plus the super cute shop cat is an absolute treasure. The decor and atmosphere are just so cozy and beautifully currated I wish I could spend the whole day in there!”

“Warwick's is everything an independent bookstore should be—and more.
As the nation's oldest continuously family-owned bookstore, Warwick's has been delighting readers for generations, and somehow it just keeps getting better. The book selection is outstanding, the staff is knowledgeable, and the author events are constant, bringing everyone from bestselling writers to rising stars right into the heart of La Jolla.
And don't make the mistake of thinking it's just a bookstore. The gifts, stationery, cards, and unique finds are every bit as irresistible as the books. It's the kind of place where you stop in for one thing and leave with three.
In a world of online shopping, Warwick's remains a reminder of why local businesses matter. It's a La Jolla institution, a community gathering place, and one of my favorite spots in the Village.
If you haven't been lately, you're overdue.”
“San Diego has many excellent indie bookstores, but the book catapult is one of the best. They have a great selection of new books, including an amazing children's section with books for all developmental levels. The staff is always helpful and knowledgeable, and they have frequent community events for you to connect with other readers.”
“It’s huge and definitely busy, but not overwhelmingly crowded, which makes for a really pleasant experience. I stopped by the café inside and ordered a latte along with the lemon loaf, which was labeled as the barista’s favorite and it did not disappoint. Both were delicious.
They also offer a variety of drinks and sandwiches, giving you plenty of options. The staff was very friendly, which added to the overall positive vibe. It’s an easy place to spend an hour or more just walking around, and it can also be a great spot to study or get some work done, though it may get busier at times. I’d highly recommend checking this place out.”
“As the author of The Grant Colson Thriller Series and The SERA Archives Thriller Series, I appreciate local neighborhood bookstores, and Bluestocking Books in Hillcrest is a fun and unique shop.
I even found a copy of one of the old Piers Anthony fantasy novels I grew up on. Those books helped push me toward becoming a writer, along with my shelf of nonfiction polar and mountaineering titles.
The staff here is super courteous and the prices are more than reasonable. It’s great having places like this in the city where people actually know the books, understand the genres, and can point you in the right direction for whatever you’re hunting for. I also noticed the romance shelves while writing The Maui Desire Romance Series, and it’s a thoughtfully curated section that fits the store well.”
“Kiddo is into Manga... as us OGs know this can be a minefield. Staff was SUPER SUPER helpful in steering away from the more explicit content variety.... B&N actually wraps the individual book so that kiddos can't thumb thru it.
Store is clean... a bit small from what I'm used to... selection is still good... has all the same areas just fewer options (but still good). Plenty of parking if you're ok with walking.”
“An incredibly well-selected collection of new and old books fill the shelves at this bookstore. I almost left with a stack of books, but my eyes were bigger than my budget. Speaking of budgets, the prices were great. Even with my limited budget, I still left with a nice lil stack. I will definitely be coming back next chance I get.”
“I was just here last week, and this week they already had different book setups. I love them so much with how they're always on top of things, even when they think they're disorganized, they're still the best.”
“It’s really cozy and the staff is very friendly. They helped me go through all the vinyls multiple times just to find one particular record I was looking for. Customer service 10/10.”
“Visited for the first time today and I was very impressed. It had so much more than I expected. I wish I got the name of the worker today because they were so nice and helpful. Parking wasn't too bad when I went(Saturday - Noon). I picked up a few things but I'll definitely be back for more”
“I heard about the Black from a very good friend that we recently lost. He grew up in OB, and the black was one of those stores that was part of his life there. I'm glad I was able to have a moment to remember him in a place he also loved.”
“Just went in here once so far but I was very impressed by the curation of the children's book area as a mom. I will definitely be back with open wallets and hoping I don't go too broke buying all the goodies. Beautiful shop!”
“Captain Ann is a delightful shop owner and has always taken care of our vessel and crew. We are going to miss working with her. Thanks for everything Capt!
Crew of HOS Mauser.”
“Great place to go if you're an avid reader! I personally am not. Lol
But my mother went here quite a bit. The owner, several years after her passing, still remembered my Mom. Very nice Man.”
“Was strolling down Adam’s Avenue and came across this place! I was surprised to see such a large selection of books. The shelves are a bit crowded inside but loved their focus on metaphysical and spiritual books. Came away with 2 new reads!”
“Library Shop SD is a charming little gem, especially if you love books and unique gifts. The selection is thoughtfully curated, with everything from literary-themed items to locally inspired finds. It has a cozy, welcoming feel that makes browsing really enjoyable. The staff is friendly and helpful, and it’s a perfect spot to pick up something special or support the local library. Definitely worth a visit!”
“Great campus bookstore with plenty of Aztec merchandise. I was surprised at how reasonable the prices were. I was able to find a nice SDSU T-shirt for $19. The customer service was also very friendly and helpful.”

“Great scented shea butters, oils, jewelry. The Rihanna and Kush butters smelled amazing. The owner was very kind and knowledgeable while showing me around the store. They have a great book and clothing selection that sends great messages. I bought some stickers with quotes from the store. Very easy going atmosphere.”
“I love coming here to see what gem I can pick p for cheap. From $.25 to $4 for books, cds and dvds - you will definitely find something you will enjoy.
A great spot to pickup children's activity books or classic National Geographic Magazines.
Friendly staff and organized.
Truly a bookworm's paradise.”
“I am taking EMGM 105 and 106 and the bookstore staff was very helpful in helping me find everything I needed for class. The bookstore is a little hard to find, there aren't really any signs. At least that I could find. Its kinda in the middle, back. Its building K1. If you see the child development building in front of you, before you get to the building go around the building on your left and its the next big building.”
“Huge variety of items. Surprised how large it was. Best of all there’s food. Really yummy pastries - almond croissant was way better than any of the chain coffee stores!”
“Love walking into this store and discovering something that I suddenly want to read. The owner is so knowledgeable and passionate about literature. My favorite bookstore in San Diego.”

“GIVEGive generously, give freely. It makes a difference.PRIOR REVIEWDropped off a bag of clothes to give, the guy working there was especially nice and I thought very upbeat. It's important and as he said every little bit makes a difference. It's true! Have a great day.”
“I had such a fun time here! I work nearby and I’d seen this bookstore multiple times and decided to go in and look around. I was not disappointed. They have a huge selection of books. They also have a hefty selection on legos and little Knick knacks. I loved roaming around and just seeing all the different things. If ever in the area I recommend going in and just looking around for fun or if you’re looking for a book I think they’ll have it available (:The kids selection is pretty big. The biggest selection I’ve seen so far!”

“Great selection of books and hilarious stickers. Enjoyed reading the little signs posted around and looking for all the other books I will add to my growing TBR pile”
