VIA (Travel Magazine of CA Automobile Association.)

Located in a charming 1930's Carmel-stone building in historic Old Monterey, since 1995 Carpe Diem Fine Books has offered a discriminating selection of out-of-print, signed and unusual books in all fields - with a special emphasis on the history and literature of California and the West. More than a bookshop, we also feature art and collectibles of the Monterey area.

We are open 12:00 to 6:00 pm Tuesday through Saturday and can generally arrange to be here at other times if it is more convenient for you, so be sure to visit the next time you are in the area.
