The Book Den |
| 11 E. Anapamu Ave., Santa Barbara CA || phone | |
|
This is a wonderful bookstore- always one of the highlights
of our frequent visits to Santa Barbara. Well do I remember
the year they had most of Rafael
Sabatini's books for sale- I brought home a boxload! Good prices, great inventory
that turns over rapidly; and once a year they have a big sale.
They are right next door to a high-end antiquarian art book store, Sullivan-Goss. |

And how many book stores can make a claim like that?(photo)
A good place to browse; much bigger than it
looks, with a wide range of books and good prices.
In fact, Main Street in Ventura is well worth an afternoon's visit, with this store, the Phantom Bookshop and many antiques stores and restaurants all within a few blocks of each other. |

Wells, Older Scientific and Medical Books, First Editions, Science Fiction, Childrens' and other Good General Stock Mainly by Dead Authors. With A Special Guest Appearance By The Unknown Genius of The Needle, Burin & Copper Plate, John Anthony Miller, Illustrious Etcher and Engraver This place doesn't look like much on the outside, but wait until you enter! A wonderful store that stretches out into rooms and nooks and crannies; every corner holds treasures. Good prices and a great collection. The web page is a little cutesy, as you can tell from their purple prose, but it loads fast and is very descriptive of their collection. |

Sullivan Goss Books & Prints Ltd. |

An antiquarian bookstore that specializes in art books. They have a
wonderful collection, and include illustrated books as well. I also love
their art prints!
Their web page has huge backgrounds and photos-if you have a slower computer, it will take a while to load. They are right next to The Book Den. |
