Amazing atmosphere with lots of books to chose from. Quiet music and friendly service makes browsing a very pleasant experience. Would 100% go again.

Carpe Diem Fine Books is a Monterey gem. I have purchased books over the years and I have sold books as well. It's a pleasure doing business with the proprietors and look forward to future transactions.

Go here! Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I felt like I could get lost just walking through all the aisles. Small but cozy. They also have a huge hidden section of all sci-fi/fantasy books.
PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE OPEN BY APPOINTMENT/CHANCE (we are usually in the shop each day so just let us know when you’d like to stop by). "Out of print, collectible and unusual books in all fields of interest delight enthusiasts... the bookseller maintains an ever-changing inventory and an appreciable selection of paintings, photographs and works..."
