Lots of parking available on the Sunday that I visited! The owner graciously let me browse without pressure, and offered up recommendations based on what I was interested in. He also had several of his own publications available, one of which I took home with me. Lots of local authors in his inventory, as well as new and used copies of interesting and/or renowned titles from a multitude of genres. But the main highlight is their science fiction offerings, 100/10 would stop in again. Highly recommend for bookworms who have a penchant for small publishing houses!

He's incredibly knowledgeable about what he carries and about pretty much every topic you could ask about.

This place is absolutely worth a visit.

Small store, but packed with lots of goodies such as toys, magnets, honey, drinks, and lots more. My kids bought some little toys to remember the trip by.

It was way more than what I had expected! At first glance it seems like it's the tiniest thing, but once you start wandering through you'll notice that there are so many sections with tons and tons of all sorts of books, new and used! I only had a limited amount of time so I had to rush through but I was still able to find 3 books for myself... all used but in GREAT condition. $15 for all 3! The owner of the shop was also amazing... super warm and welcoming! This will definitely not be my last time visiting the store because I plan to return on my next trip back to Joshua tree :)

The store is located in the upstairs shopping "mall," along with a bunch of either tiny stores. I would estimate at least a quarter to a third of the books are of the sci-fi/fantasy genre. Here is where you may find some very obscure but excellent out of print titles. The fiction section is also well-curated. The rest of the books are a bit of a hodgepodge (travel, humor, etc.). I found the prices to be very fair. Be careful, though: some out of print books are priced accordingly. Worth checking out, if you are a book nerd.

I spent several minutes trying to follow my GPS before finding a stairway to an "upstairs mall" and realizing I should go up it. There were a fair amount of books, looking to good shape, organized in a way that made sense and priced reasonably. Unfortunately out of my several favorite authors, there were only two represented, both by one only book each which I had already read. I finally saw a store sign at the bottom of the stairway as I was leaving, partly obstructed and hard to see. They really need to do a better job of helping people find them.

This place is designed for spiritual practice with rooms for meditation. A very peaceful environment for your inner self. My kids and I found the sculptures really interesting so we took pictures for memory. We even found a road runner along the way which followed us underneath a tree tunnel. The grounds were extremely beautiful with a small pond area. You can have lunch at the cafe, but it wasn't open when we visited. It's a must you check out their gift shop because two kind ladies assisted warmly greeting us upon entering the store. They sold jewelry, t-shirts, so many arts, keychains, and so much more. Very spiritual vibes. I really enjoyed just walking around with the kids. We felt at peace.

There's usually always one or two kitties in the mood for either playing or being pet. You get kinda attached to some of them, but they're also up for adoption so they might not be there the next time you go. They do have some resident kitties though - Sugar is very sweet and not up for adoption. She'll always let you pet her. Staff is kind and will answer any questions about the kitties. I always ask if there's a lot of children or too many people when I go, and they'll let me know if there's too many. I just want to relax with the kitties and my book and it can be a bit noisy and distracting when it's a bit full. I'll usually go to Cafe Caprice around the corner for an hour and then come back for quieter kitty time. They also have cute local art up for sale around where you play with the kitties and it's nice to look at. I usually just grab a soda when I go there as I've already had my tea/coffee for the day, but would love it if they got their beer and wine license. I would totes have multiple glasses of wine whilst chilling with the kitties if they did that (the cat cafe I frequented in Charlotte had it). Overall, fun place to pet some kitties and get away from your problems for a bit.
