Located in a charming 1930's Carmel-stone building in historic downtown Monterey, since 1995 Carpe Diem Fine Books has offered a discriminating selection of out-of-print, and out of the ordinary 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 by appointment and by chance (best to call ahead). We can generally arrange to be here times convenient for you, so be sure to visit the next time you are in the area.
