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.

It is family owned and a true independent book store. The owner is wonderful and the staff is just great. They have good prices and I bet they have what you want.

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

He is an absolute joy and ray of sunshine! So friendly and thoughtful and tells the best jokes, lol. I love hearing about his life and how he and his wife came to own this little treasured spot. Last trip he said to me, "I don't care if anyone comes in and doesn't buy a book, it's just so fun to watch people come in here from all walks of life and find joy in these ol' books." And that's how you know, someone truly loves and cares about what they do and their customers.

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 even found a couple of hard back Nancy Drew books I read as a kid! There were a few classic Golden Books too. The middle section has some great table books. There's a mixture of classic and new and it was fun to search.

This store is the one I send all the visitors to when they come visit me because there's something very uniquely Palm Springs about it and it's just a great way to find tchotchkes and books, cards, and other collectibles. Bonus: it's right next to the KOFFI that has the outdoor garden patio that you can sit in.

I believe this spot used to be a legal firm, but I was delighted to discover that it was now taken over by the just fabulous team! If you've wandered into their street front store for a gift before, then you definitely need to take a stroll through the little park in the back to this location. If you are like me and have struggled to find gifts for those most difficult people in your life who seem to have everything this might be the perfect one stop. Stunning and unique coffee table books to bar sets and elegant candle offerings. Every corner is styled beautifully and super easy to browse. Often times I feel overwhelmed by these boutique shops, but everything was well spaced with easily located price tags. I spoke with an associate Shannon who is an absolute sweetheart, and happy to walk me through the shop and explain every corner and provide suggestions and offerings. I felt so horrible because I wasn't here to buy gifts, but this will be one of my recommendations for anyone looking to get an elevated present. Understand that these are curated items and the price reflects this. I recommend that you take some time to explore every corner because there were a few small gift items that were more limit budget range. I can't wait to come back and do some serious shopping when I have the time!

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!
