Farenheit 451 Books - Carlsbad, California

Poupee C.

What a wonderful bookshop and the store owner was a pleasure to converse with. You can hear his passion 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!

Such a cool place! Bookstore with a decent selection of recent releases, but the huge collection of the used books and vintage art is where it’s at! They have a ton of discounted books in every category. A fun place to browse around for a long time. The person behind the counter was also really nice and chatted with us for a while. My only wish is that I had the ability to spend on a beautiful piece of vintage art! There are some real gems there.

A very quaint used bookstore with anything you can imagine. The owner is very friendly and informative. They carry from antique books to new releases. If you are a book lover, I recommend a trip here for sure.

This has moved and is no longer at the city center. Call the number listed on Google - owner is still helping customers and caters to book enthusiasts

Excellent bookstore, kind and helpful staff, nice variety of genres, fair pricing for both everyday reading and collectables.

If you need a book, don't go to one of those "free book bird-houses" outside someone's home; they always have the books you never realized you didn't want, like "How To Re-install Your Printer," or anything by Stephen King. That's why Fahrenheit 451 Books is your go-to place for books in Carlsbad. There's a healthy selection of used books, in good quality, at good prices, and some signed/rare/collectible books as well. Owner is super nice, and the store smells good - thank you incense! I can't stop going here.

This is one of the greatest book stores I've ever been to. So much care has been poured into this collection and it shows.

Fortunately, this book store in our Village of Carlsbad is still thriving 12 years after relocating from Inland SD. The owner is a lifelong bibliophile offering an eclectic revolving selection of modern, classics and everything in between.

Including a great selection of first prints and rare editions. All in the Heart of The Village within a few blocks of the Pacific Ocean, food, train tracks & drinks. What else could you ask for?...EnJoy!
