Adorable bookstore. Very well organized, with a solid selection of books. I found a cute positive mantra book by artist and writer Maybell Eequay for $11, which is a great price. The customer service is fantastic. I especially liked that they offered to gift wrap my book.

I don't know how I never realized that was a new book store where it used to be another generic boutique. Well, welcome culture, we love books for everyone. Specially if the aisles are so well organized. Camino Books looks a bit like a book store meets small library meets gift shop. Charming and perfect location.

Stop #1

Stop #1 on our San Diego Bookstore Crawl!! This place is AWESOME! It has all the genres here and on the shelf, and staff recommendations are included as well. It was crazy-stupid busy yesterday due to the Independent Bookstore weekend, but their staff handled it with ease and kindness. There is a delightful place to grab some pastries in the same mall as the bookstore, so you can TOTALLY make a day out of coming this way. Respectfully Reviewed.

Such a cute bookstore! The space is clean, well-organized, and has comfortable seating where you can sit and read. They have a great selection of books along with greeting cards, calendars, bookmarks, and other fun finds. I also loved that they offer complimentary gift wrapping and do it so nicely. A wonderful spot to browse and relax.

Cute but very small bookstore. It seems aimed exclusively at children and yet we didn't find our favorite classic board books

Great people, great comics, great place overall. If you're in the area, you have to stop by.read more

Hubs found another "happy place" in SD County!…read more Knowhere G&C is located in an industrial area of San Marcos, near an antique mall, several home furnishings stores and next to San Marcos Deli. This seems an ideal location, with plenty of free parking and, judging by the flow of pedestrian traffic in and out of this shop on a "Comic Book Wednesday" many customers agree. Hubs declared a large selection of comics, games and collectibles. He proudly emerged over an hour after parking with a smile on his cute nerdy face and a bag filled with reading materials in his hand. He was very surprised and happy that his purchase amount ~$80TL awarded him with a cool graphic novel. Happiness shortly turned to a bit of confusion when he took a moment to peruse his receipt and discovered he had been charged about 4x the amount he should have been for a comic. He checked online to make sure he didn't grab a ltd edition, or special release, and determined he hadn't. I waited while he returned inside. About 10 minutes he reemerged - HAPPY AGAIN! Seems the clerk, Daniel (guessing from the receipt ), didn't catch it and agreed it had been incorrectly priced. He further apologized saying he usually catches the comics over $20 and confirms the customer is aware when they are purchasing a more expensive issue. So Daniel was sorry he missed that completely. Hubs confirmed that he was still ok receiving the free graphic novel and was assured, yes, his purchase amount still qualified for the free novel. The over charge was returned to Hubs and he was happy with the store, Daniel and his customer service. Knowhere G&C has been bookmarked for our future SD road trips. Cheers! "CC"

Awesome local comic shop in Oceanside!…read more Super friendly and helpful staff, cool product offerings, and close to my house...win-win-win Definitely planning on returning here in the future! :)

Well, I won't go back here nor suggest this place to others…read more I had been a customer here for years, ever since they opened and have spent a decent amount of money in here in this time. This is primarily because my daughter loved going in here. Today was no different, I took my 7yr old daughter in. Almost immediately I noticed that they had a "Gaston" comic book which is a feature that focus' on Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. I so, ph that's cool and the guy behind the counter (the owner of the shop) stated that that Disney is doing a series on Villains. I thought that was an interesting perspective because a hunter protecting his town from a beast doesn't seem like a villain to me. Whoa, this guy got triggered. He became upset/irate and proceeded to tell me how wrong I am for having that perspective. The more I tried to engage him the more emotional and upset he became. He began to get so upset that became concerned about what my 7yr old daughter was witnessing. I stated that I was fine to have a conversation with him but I didn't appreciate being yelled at and talked over. He became more upset and I though it best to cut our shopping short and leave. On our way out, he thought it important to get the last word in and yelled "don't come back!" Well, my daughter became upset and cried her eyes out. The whole thing was traumatic for my kiddo and appalling for me. I can't imagine ever treating someone like he treated us, without any concern for my daughter and our business. I would suggest staying away from this place and the owner seems unstable.

I have been going to Comickaze since the very early 1900s and have never been let down. You get a…read morevibe that this is a place ran by true comic book and pop culture fans. You're ALWAYS welcomed when you enter the establishment and a genuine greeting not that auto pilot hello/welcome BS most places do. I have a special needs sibling and when asked if she wants to go here, it doesn't even take a second for her to shoot up and say yes. My sister never wants to go anywhere but here, not even a second thought it's a yes. Not sure where people are saying it's hard to find stuff, but everything is so easy to find, even my sister can find what she wants in seconds. For the disabilities that she has, it's a breath of fresh air that I can see she feels relaxed enough to not want to cling to me. Everywhere else, they're inches away, here the moment we park she bolts to the door and acts like I dont exist. This place will always be a 10/10 for me and my family. My kid is now 2nd generation Comickaze, and he goes straight for the kid section. This place has it all. Their prices are beyond fair, no one else will beat their prices.

Comickaze is a really fun comic book store…read more It is incredibly well organized and easy to find the comics or books, you are looking for. They have walls and walls and walks of soft & hard cover comics/graphic novels. If you cannot find it here, then it doesn't exist!
