Prices are comparable to San Diego but unfortunately that is the case for all Mexico regarding books, not just for this bookstore.

I had a terrible time coming in here to pick up some tickets I ordered online with Ticketmaster…read more This is the only Ticketmaster location in Tijuana, so it was the only place I could go. They didn't speak English, which is fine, as it should be a fairly easy transaction with my limited Spanish. But they didn't like my credit card because the numbers were on the back and they couldn't use their ancient credit card slip system. They told me I'd need to call Ticketmaster and change credit cards, which wasn't going to happen as I don't live in Tijuana and wasn't going to negotiate that hour-long phone call. They got back on the phone with Ticketmaster after my insistence, and couldn't reach a human. They kept trying to give up and send me away, but I told them I was not leaving. Finally I told them they can use a pencil to take an imprint of the card. The second guy tried the machine and lo and behold, it took an imprint just fine. Why couldn't the girl try that 30 minutes prior rather than wasting my time? Then she wrote the details on the slip and screwed up and had to rip it up and start over. I know these guys don't actually work for Ticketmaster, but if they're going to be the agents for people who need to pick up their tickets, they need to be better trained. This was a train wreck of an experience, and after 45 minutes in the store and much frustration, I finally walked out of the store with my tickets. It could have been a 5 minute visit.

Este café/librería es un lugar ideal para venir a pasártela tu solo. Pides un café te pierdes en tu propio libro o en el libro que puedes pedir prestado. He visto de este tipo de cafés en otras ciudades y países, pero no en Tijuana. Aquí hay muchos libros de los que puedes escoger, si lo prefieres puedes sentarte y ver a la gente pasar. Obvio que también puedes traer tu propio libro o revista, pedir un café y disfrutar del sillón que esta disponible para clientes. La mayoría de los libros son usados, pero todos los que he usado están en buenas condiciones. En lo personal, es muy peligroso para mi venir aquí. Puedo pasar horas y horas y horas sin darme cuenta hasta que empieza a oscurecer y sin darme cuenta se me fue el día.

It's a small bookstore, with mostly second hand books. They have a section of books sold by local authors, with all profits going directly to the authors - which was nice. There is also a shelf of books just for people to peruse while in the store - an attractive prospect, on their comfortable couches and with coffee available. Not a place to go if you have something very specific in mind, but perfect to browse and read and escape the noise of the city for a bit.

Lo que mas me gusta de aquí es que hay una buena combinación entre libros nuevos y viejos lo cual hace que este lugar tenga una colección súper ecléctica de libros. Los dueños son muy amables y relajados, cuando estuve aquí me la pase horas y horas nomás viendo y leyendo libros y el dueño no parecía ser molestado con mi presencia, el seguía leyendo su novela. Esta librería esta ubicada dentro del Pasaje Gomez, que para turistas puede que sea un poco difícil de localizar pero todos los locales lo conocemos bien. Lo que me gusta mucho de este pasaje, y de esta librería es que hay una cervecería justo alado del local... entonces literalmente puedes venir, comprar tu novela y pasarte alado a tomar una cerveza y empezar a leer mientras ves a gente pasar.

If your thing is Spanish pop from the 40s and up until now, this store was meant for you. They have all genres, both in Spanish and English.
