“Wow - what a perfect rainy day activity in North Park! From the second you step in, you're greeted with stunning displays of books and a cozy vibe that brought me back to my Scholastic Bookfair days. I felt like I could've stayed in there forever, cozied up on a lounge chair. Their selection of used books is massive and I even saw some signed copies. It's well organized and there's a great selection of more familiar books and some I had never heard of. I wish there was a little more curation at times with recommendations but it satisfied the avid reader in me to be able to peruse everything at leisure. I walked away with three books for $24 which is an absolute steal in my opinion. I don't think I saw anything over $30 for a hard copy signed book so the value is definitely there. This is such a lovely neighborhood bookstore that had me wishing I lived closer.”

“My new favorite bookstore! Amazing curation of books and just as amazing customer service. Latino-owned business with community at its heart. Amazing selection of books that are rarely seen, if at all at any other bookstore. The branding is ?, the little trinkets and decor Everywhere invokes a sense of Chicano whimsy that is unmatched. In love with Libélula and will definitely make this a must-stop on all future visits to San Diego. Much love - Alex @ravg.arts from LA ♥️ Tlazocamatli ”

“Great bookstore in South Park. I love stopping by whenever I'm in the area. They have a really amazing curation of books, one of the first places in SD where I was able to find Asian translated fiction. Staff are really friendly and knowledgeable so if you ask for recommendations they'll definitely have some ideas!”

“An old theatre repurposed to be a book store is probably the best use of the space! It's a regular Barnes and Noble with regular Barnes and Noble pricing, but the atmosphere is very cool with the theatre feel. Parking is in the back, and unlike regular Barnes and Noble stores, there's no cafe.”

“I had such a fun time here! I work nearby and I’d seen this bookstore multiple times and decided to go in and look around. I was not disappointed. They have a huge selection of books. They also have a hefty selection on legos and little Knick knacks. I loved roaming around and just seeing all the different things. If ever in the area I recommend going in and just looking around for fun or if you’re looking for a book I think they’ll have it available (:The kids selection is pretty big. The biggest selection I’ve seen so far!”

“It was nice and quite exactly what I would expect of a book store and was overall a really nice place.The only complaint was that the books were sort of scratched but nothing bad”

“Just went in here once so far but I was very impressed by the curation of the children's book area as a mom. I will definitely be back with open wallets and hoping I don't go too broke buying all the goodies. Beautiful shop!”

“Great book store. They're also selling frozen dumplings that's so good. Great selection of tea and dry snack. We need to support the store and help out local businesses.”

“The Black is an institution in OB. Not just for the stoner crowd . LOL! The Black has something for everyone. The Black is still a head shop, but oh, so much more! T-shirts, hats, souvenirs, gag gifts, guitars, ukes. They carry some kitschy foreign made stuff, but also some really unique and fun local items. We try to pop in every time we are in OB. We've always found the staff to be very friendly, helpful and welcoming. This time around I found a bad ass old school Judas Priest "Screaming For Vengeance" t-shirt.”

“I am taking EMGM 105 and 106 and the bookstore staff was very helpful in helping me find everything I needed for class. The bookstore is a little hard to find, there aren't really any signs. At least that I could find. Its kinda in the middle, back. Its building K1. If you see the child development building in front of you, before you get to the building go around the building on your left and its the next big building.”

“This is a fantastic shop. They have everything you need and everything you never knew you needed. Wide selection of herbs, oils and candles. Diana provided wonderful service, answering any questions I had and was very friendly. The prices for everything I purchased were more than fair. I will be back!”

“This is a must go place among many other attractions in San Diego. In fact, it got to be in the top 10 list for being such a splendid and magnificent architecture in the heart of San Diego, offering a place for book lovers, knowledge seekers etc. There are multiple levels with a huge collection of books, computers, secluded areas to focus on one's work and beautiful views of the beautiful city. There is also an auditorium for various types of events adjacent to a small open area. Parking is nothing to worry about. Come, park and enjoy this luxury.”

“We had a large group, the restaurant was full. We were seated without a long wait, orders were taken in good time and food served without a long wait. Then we were forgotten. Food was excellent and prices reasonable but we had to hunt for service after we received our meal. Too bad.”

“I make it a point to visit bookstores wherever I go. I found this charming store while walking around. At the time didn't take any photos inside due to them doing a remodeling. Prices are good. They were running a remodel sale. The store is small but the service and selection are great. Overheard one of the employees assisting a customer and could her the joy in recommending them Lion Witch and Wardrobe. If you needed any special order books the staff is more than willing to accommodate you. Highly recommend supporting this local bookstore.”

“I know people already wrote about the significance of this place to the Beat Generation of SD, so I'm not going to write more about that.Jack Kerouac alley is right next door between this book store and Vesuvio Bar, by the way.”

“*This review is for the Clockwork manicure robot* The Clockwork nail painting machine is SO COOL. IT'S A MUST-DO. You don't need to be a student to go into the SDSU Bookstore and get a robot manicure! It's only open when the Bookstore is open, but the website's time slots for appointment booking is accurate. There's a bathroom in the library next door but not in the Bookstore. If you have a friend who has done it, they have a referral link that's 20% off. Also, after you go for the first time, they send you a link for 50% off your next visit. The normal price is $10. The only thing I don't like is that the nail polish they use does have a chemical smell. It took me 45 minutes for my first robot manicure, but I'm sure I'll get better at it, so it'll be faster next time. I do wish they had a baby pink color! You also get to keep the nail polish remover pot and take it with you so you have it to remove your nail polish later!”
