A bespoke bookstore for all ages in the heart of Carmel Valley Village, California.
Why are we reading if not in hope that the writer will magnify and dramatize our days, will illuminate and inspire us with wisdom, courage, and the possibility of meaningfulness, and will press upon our minds the deepest mysteries, so that we may feel again their majesty and power?
― Annie Dillard
We carry literary fiction, non-fiction, memoir, mystery, nature writing, cookbooks, children’s books, and so much more. Bestsellers and new releases are prominently featured alongside hidden gems and sleeper hits that are sure to inspire, challenge, and delight. If we don’t have a book you’re looking for, we’re happy to special order.
