Welcome to Verbatim Books!

Verbatim Books is a primarily secondhand bookstore with a selection of over 50,000 gently-loved and antiquarian books. We also carry new zines, tarot decks, and eclectic small press titles. Our stock is extremely curated to help you find quality editions of classics, favorites, and new discoveries. We want to have “something for everyone,” and have sections for almost every genre, including literature, poetry, children’s, middle grade, YA/teen, horror, SF, and graphic novels.

Our zine corner is full of works by local zine and chapbook creators, as well as a growing selection of the best new releases from small presses and micro-distributors such as Fiddler’s Green, Burn All Books, Half Door Press, Caboose Press, Eternia Press, Microcosm Publishing, Genderfail, and more! We also carry new titles from over 300 local authors.

In the past, Verbatim Books has helped to produce popular community events such as the North Park Book Fair and the San Diego Book Crawl. We have hosted performances for hundreds of local authors, musicians, artists, and poets. Check out the Events page for more information on our upcoming events!
