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.

I love going to this Barnes & Noble location. There's just something about the atmosphere that…read moremakes me feel happy and relaxed every time I visit. Whether I'm browsing for books, looking at gifts, or just wandering around, it's one of my favorite places to spend an hour or two. The employees have always been friendly and helpful, and there's plenty of parking in the shopping center. It can get pretty busy, especially on weekends, and the checkout line can move a little slowly at times, but that's really my only complaint. I also love the café. Grabbing a Starbucks drink and a snack while I browse is part of the experience for me. It's a fun place to spend time by yourself or even go on a casual date. One thing to keep in mind is that the café does not accept Starbucks gift cards, which was a surprise to me. Other than that, I highly recommend this location.

This review is based on my interaction with the staff at checkout. The actual store itself is…read morepretty great. Expansive selection and on the bigger side for a B&N. They also still have a cozy Starbucks inside with the OG 90s/2000s decor. Okay, onto the whole reason I'm writing this review. TDLR I was gypped into joining their rewards program. I go to check out and am asked if I am a B&N member. I say that I am not and the cashier proceeds to inform me of this "special offer" they're offering to non-members today only. All he asks is my name and email. In hindsight, this was a red flag and was most certainly a gig to get me to sign up without explicitly saying so. Low and behold, I get handed a rewards card and the receipt reflects my new membership. I immediately phone into their support line (there's no option to do this yourself online) to deactivate my account. Hey, I get it. As an employee you have to always ask people to join. However, please just do the honorable thing and be straightforward and respectful if they decline. I can deal with persistence. What I do not appreciate is deceit. Slimy experience. I will not be back.

They have a surprisingly good selection of fiction, nonfiction, mysteries, true crime, biographies, cookbooks, children's books and more, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. You can find some real hidden gems without spending a lot of money. The Book Cellar is run by volunteers who are friendly and helpful, and the proceeds help support the library and its programs, so your purchases go toward a great cause. It has that charming, tucked-away community bookstore feel that's getting harder to find. Whether you're an avid reader, looking for an inexpensive book, or just enjoy browsing used bookstores, I definitely recommend stopping by.

Everyone seems to be a medium here so they are delighted to talk with you about those things that go bump in the night, premonitions and apparitions and won't think you're crazy in the least. If you don't see what you're looking for, Celeste will order it for you too. It's run completely by volunteers and they are always so happy to see you and share their latest discoveries. There's such a wonderful variety of offerings that would include many items that you might usually find at a Metaphysical Bookstore, like gems and minerals, vibrational healing jewelry, incense and all kinds of Tarot Cars plus all Spiritually based books new and used. But then there are the more specialize tools for mediumship development classes. So you can find trumpets and slates and of course crystal balls too! There's also some wonderful inspired artwork that's really unique.
