    I loved the fact that this new age bookstore was tucked away down a flight of stairs, which added to the fact that I was intrigued by it. There is a huge selection of books along with all kinds of spiritual items, incense, candles, etc. I loved that there was a variety of spirituality followings represented and the store itself smelled amazing. We didn't have a ton of time to spend in this store but the young lady at the counter gave us a friendly greeting and left us to explore the rows of shelves. Definitely something for everyone here!

    Yes! Finally, my philosophy degree can get some practical use...by telling you all that 'metaphysical' book stores are not only almost exclusively full of wishy-washy wishful thinking crap...but also that they are misusing the term 'metaphysical.' Let us get educated: Metaphysics (thank you Wikipedia, I heart you): is the branch of philosophy concerned with explaining the ultimate nature of reality, being, and the world.[1] Its name derives from the Greek words (met) (meaning "after") and (physik) (meaning "after talking about physics"), "physics" referring to those works on matter by Aristotle in antiquity.[2] Metaphysics addresses questions that have existed for as long as the human race - many still with no definitive answer. Examples are: * What is the meaning of life? * What is the nature of reality? * What is mankind's place in the universe? * Does the world exist outside the mind? * What is the nature of objects, events, places? A central branch of metaphysics is ontology, the investigation into what types of things there are in the world and what relations these things bear to one another. The metaphysician also attempts to clarify the notions by which people understand the world, including existence, objecthood, property, space, time, causality, and possibility. -- Ok, so New Agers thought it would be a cool idea to high-jack this respectable and ancient field of inquiry by stealing the term metaphysical. This I suppose was to bring out the fact that they were interested in what was beyond this physical world: i.e. spirits, faith-healing, or self-faith-spirit-Buddhist-incense-psychic-clairvoyance-healing, or whatever. Anyway, the Lighthouse Bookstore on the corner of Pearl street mall and Broadway is one such shop. I came in here not on my own volition but since someone else was enamored. Nonetheless, I bought some incense - not because I think it will help me to see another dimension, or help me meditate (which I'm not against btw) but simply because it smells nice? The guy at the counter was quite aware of his role as liaison to the 'metaphysical' which I guess didn't come off that well, since the guy in front of me yelled something at him and left in a huff. Eh....incense was cheap. The other stuff I wouldn't suggest, but hey...it's your time and money, yo'

    No, I have never bought books here but it is a decent store for other things. For years, our family…read morebought a lot of tech items here, before the big box tech stores came to Boulder and before office supply stores expanded their stock. And before online shopping. But if you are looking for CU logo gear, for yourself or for gifts, this is the place. Anything you could probably think of, at better prices than some of the Logo Gear websites out there. And you can actually get a better sense of sizing than using many of the inaccurate size charts I found online. I have looked at some of the commercial and touristy shops around Boulder, the "sports" retailers around Boulder and Flatiron Crossing and even "our favorite hardware store" but I could not find the size and color I needed for a gift. Boys grow up fast! I found just what I needed, I got a good walk in on a nice day as there is no dedicated parking here. The Book Store is in the basement of the UMC so plan ahead. There are off campus options to park and walk or bus to the UMC if you are not a local. For an off season shopping time (NOT Back to School, NOT Football Season, NOT Christmas, NOT Graduation) I thought they had a decent amount of stock in a wide range of items. Next time I need something like this, I will just go here first.

    This campus bookstore has a main level that is 85 % MENS clothing. REALLY? The campus is at a…read moreminimum HALF WOMEN. But women- go find your little section in the basement. Message heard.
