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

Owner is incredibly rude and smells like ramen. Really tho, we tried going in and she got all huffy and asked what we wanted. Its a book store...we wanted books. Pretty straight forward. Also, the ramen.

Who has an appointment only book store sounds like some spy type s***
