    A fine selection of essential oils to choose from! I'm in the market for these, also!
    Carl M.

    I stopped in this lovely shop Saturday October 4th and I was taken in by the wonderful vibes right away! The first thing I saw was several "Crow" related items - and Crows are very high up on my Totem Pole! In fact: I believe Crows to be Alien Minds right here on Earth - and I am very fond of them. They are highly intelligent. I found many wonderful things: Jai and Alejandro were extremely helpful ... and she opened the minerals/gems case and showed me the Bismuth Crystals I was interested in - they were very affordable! She went in the back and looked for a certain type of Essential Oil for me also. Such wonderful customer service: and I want to give a shout out to both of them for making my day! I would recommend this store to all of my friends! They have outstanding service, selection, and value! I will return to purchase something: very soon!

    I'm always a fan of this store! It's a favorite to find all sorts of crystals or metaphysical items. The staff are so friendly and welcoming to anyone with questions. They even humored me when I tried on a pair of earrings to see if my annoyingly sensitive ears would react to the metal! Some items can be a little pricey but are on the low-cost side of things when you factor in location and comparative costs to similar items. The selection is HUGE, with some of the crystals being equally as large. If you have friends that are into crystals and you need a place to shop, this is an excellent place to start, as the employees will help you find a good gift for them. Anything from Moldavite to tourmaline to a huge selection of Nag Champa incense in the back of the store.

    What a wonderful bookshop and the store owner was a pleasure to converse with. You can hear his…read morepassion for books in his voice. Anyway, we had planned a weekend trip to Carlsbad and searched for used bookstores in the area and Farenheit came up. So glad we stopped in and were able to walk out with a few books. Many vintage finds for all you collectors. Look closely and carefully as there are so many nooks and crannies in the shop where hidden gems can be found. You can find art books to cookbooks to history books. Please note that the shop's lease for this location is up soon. If you and anyone know of a space in Carlsbad Village, please contact the store owner Philip. He and this community deserve to have a bookstore. We are never too old or too young to learn. Grab a book and enjoy a good read! Lookout for the bargain books! And I loved the music played during our shopping experience, French jazz, which set the mood for our lunch in a local French cafe.

This is a small shop but they've probably got something that will catch your interest. I bought a fat history book (no, not a book about the history of fatties, come on, now) for 1/3rd the normal price. And it is in perfect condition. I also appreciated the notes throughout the store encouraging the reading of banned books. Seems an appropriate message given the name of the bookshop. Plenty of free street parking in the area.

My first time here I purchased a few children's books and a 300 piece puzzle. This summer, my youngest son has fallen in love with large puzzles. I never pay full price for kid things. Why? They lose interest in them so quickly! I really didn't want to pay almost 20 dollars for a puzzle on Amazon....and then I remembered this bookstore. I called to make sure they still had a puzzle section and they sure do! They have such a lovely variety too! I'm sure you'll find something you like. My kiddo was thrilled when I let him pick two puzzles and I picked one. You can't beat the prices....and they offer an credit policy too! Three puzzles cost me less than one puzzle at a big box store or online. Stop in here and support local business. I'll be back!

For a book whose spine is parting? Missing pages? C'mon. Don't even bother looking at most of what they call "Vintage" books. They ask a king's ransom for them. I found paperback after paperback that was priced at over $20 each... for a book barely 50 years old and a cover price of $1.50. Outlandish. I actually performed a reality check and went to Ebay to check on 7 or 8 of those titles. In each case the books sold for much less on Ebay than Helen is asking. They most definitely need to adjust their pricing schema. It's not like they're paying rent in downtown La Jolla for goodness sake. I was originally, upon walking in, going to say their large, diverse selection is a strength. Now I understand it's simply a function of them not selling their books at a good turnover rate at all... consequently, their stock piles up. Shame.
