I've even found a few treasures I DIDN'T even know existed. Whomever donated these REALLY did their homework, and MUST have been SERIOUSLY involved in the SAME hobbies and interests as long as I have (since the 1970s!!!!). On the 3rd Saturday during the months of February, June, and October, they have a store sidewalk sale here, with PRETTY GOOD deals. My wife and I ALWAYS look forward to returning here. Volunteer staff is VERY nice and welcoming. Cash or debit accepted. Northwest corner of Los Alamos @Whitewood. Hours: Mon-Tue-Thur 10-4 Wed-Fri-Sat 10-6 Sun Closed

Came in for a first time visit and we were greeted brightly upon entering, but that was it. We have…read morenever been here before, didn't know the store layout or how anything works. I had to look it up online to see they actually sell books as it strongly resembles a library. There were a few older women behind the counter, not one offered any help or asked if we had any questions, that would be a nice thing to do especially if you're coming in with young children. We ended up with a few kids' chapter books for $3.50 so that was a pleasant surprise as I didn't realize the prices were marked on the inside pages. They had an issue with payment and accepting Venmo so I ended up using a credit card and were offered a sheet of stickers upon leaving. Great concept, except for the mother who was reading obnoxiously loud to her child inside the store, I feel like we should all be using indoor voices if we're trying to simulate a relaxing library environment. Other than that, if the employees/volunteers had offered any assistance throughout our visit, it would have been 4 stars.

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. Support this small business and stimulate the local economy and our brains!

I love all used bookstores. I may not love all of them equally but I still love them. Anytime I…read morecan buy books at significantly lower prices, count me in. 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.

There's something here for everyone. If you want an Almanac from 1980, they probably have it…read more Looking for a rare beanie baby? You'll probably find it here. This is one of those places you can get lost in for hours upon hours as the sun fades into the moon. The prices fluctuate as the books come manufactured with the prices on the back cover, but that's a non issue.

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. She also let us know we could bring books to sell for $1 each or we could use it as store credit! If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping in for a great book and great company.

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
