I'm super happy this place is still around. My husband and I went here after breakfast with my…read morefamily and the book selection is very good. The prices are a little higher than other library bookstores, but I don't really mind; all the funds go back to the SD County library and I am in full support of that! Customer service was great and they even offer one free book to each child that comes in. Not bad!

You can recycle the box with twice the amount of books you'll take back home with you. If they don't have a title you're looking for, tell one of the friendly volunteers and they will personally call you at home when they get one in. There's something for everyone at "the bottom shelf." Stop at Joes Hardware on the way home. They have shelving for your newly acquired treasures.

I checked here on a whim, to see if they had a copy of The Daily Stoic, which I'm always losing. What the heck?! They had a copy. I was so excited. It was actually a brand new book and it was only 4 bucks. Couldn't believe my good luck. So cool. Always support your local library. If you want to buy a book, definitely come here first. Highly recommended. 5/5 stars baby!

I've even found a few treasures I DIDN'T even know existed. Whomever donated these REALLY did their homework, and MUST have been SERIOUSLY involved in the SAME hobbies and interests as long as I have (since the 1970s!!!!). On the 3rd Saturday during the months of February, June, and October, they have a store sidewalk sale here, with PRETTY GOOD deals. My wife and I ALWAYS look forward to returning here.

Came in for a first time visit and we were greeted brightly upon entering, but that was it. We have…read morenever been here before, didn't know the store layout or how anything works. I had to look it up online to see they actually sell books as it strongly resembles a library. There were a few older women behind the counter, not one offered any help or asked if we had any questions, that would be a nice thing to do especially if you're coming in with young children. We ended up with a few kids' chapter books for $3.50 so that was a pleasant surprise as I didn't realize the prices were marked on the inside pages. They had an issue with payment and accepting Venmo so I ended up using a credit card and were offered a sheet of stickers upon leaving. Great concept, except for the mother who was reading obnoxiously loud to her child inside the store, I feel like we should all be using indoor voices if we're trying to simulate a relaxing library environment. Other than that, if the employees/volunteers had offered any assistance throughout our visit, it would have been 4 stars.

What a wonderful bookshop and the store owner was a pleasure to converse with. You can hear his…read morepassion for books in his voice. Anyway, we had planned a weekend trip to Carlsbad and searched for used bookstores in the area and Farenheit came up. So glad we stopped in and were able to walk out with a few books. Many vintage finds for all you collectors. Look closely and carefully as there are so many nooks and crannies in the shop where hidden gems can be found. You can find art books to cookbooks to history books. Please note that the shop's lease for this location is up soon. If you and anyone know of a space in Carlsbad Village, please contact the store owner Philip. He and this community deserve to have a bookstore. We are never too old or too young to learn. Grab a book and enjoy a good read! Lookout for the bargain books! And I loved the music played during our shopping experience, French jazz, which set the mood for our lunch in a local French cafe. Support this small business and stimulate the local economy and our brains!

This is a small shop but they've probably got something that will catch your interest. I bought a fat history book (no, not a book about the history of fatties, come on, now) for 1/3rd the normal price. And it is in perfect condition. I also appreciated the notes throughout the store encouraging the reading of banned books. Seems an appropriate message given the name of the bookshop. Plenty of free street parking in the area.

This is one of those places you can get lost in for hours upon hours as the sun fades into the moon. The prices fluctuate as the books come manufactured with the prices on the back cover, but that's a non issue.

It is so cute and artistic, the smell alone walking in had my book heart SOARING. The prices were so reasonable, the woman working the front desk (wish I remembered her name) was kind and helpful.

Had high hopes for this bookstore. Especially since it was…read moreremodelled and new ownership if I'm not mistaken. Staff was not welcoming at all. Atleast the older gentleman that was there. Children's section was small and don't have any classic books. Everything was so political and liberal. (Not just books for gifts) Which doesn't fit a bookstore. Wish they could have just focused on books and had a great section for children with seating and all. This was more of a "doing it for the 'gram" type of store
