Nice bookstore. A good collection of books. Was not blown away.

Great local shop. Friendly people and nice location. It’s the only place I buy books in Santa Barbara.

Asked for the nerdiest section and was pleased to hear well the whole shop. Great service and decent selection.

Book Den is one of my favorite book stores. Its a lovely gem nestled across the street of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art—a book worms dream. Its a must-visit if youre ever in SB. Make sure to check them out.

We love this bookstore! We come here every time we are in Santa Barbara.

Awesome book store with great prices on used books.

Very cute book store in Santa Barbara!

Sure to be a book lovers favorite. A classic bookstore with oodles of charm. The salesman was very friendly. They offer a diverse selection with old and new books offered. History and psychology sections were abundant. I highly recommend stopping by the Book Den.

The selection was mediocre and staff ignored me.

Best bookstore in California...we always stop by when were sailing South. We end up spending couple of hours roaming through and buying books from their great collection. Always find books you dont see anywhere else

This book shop has a good collection of books for adults, and a fair sized section for kids of all ages. Theres a nice section of autographed and otherwise-special books.The only reason Im dropping a star is because it is overly hot in there. Theres no moving air of any kind. Not sure if its for the sake of the books, but its certainly not for the sake of the customers.

Very friendly and helpful finding a book that I wanted!

Hole-in-the-wall book store that is much larger on the inside than the outside. Carries a wide selection of books from Percy Jackson to 1984 to a discussion on psychology principles. Staff was quite friendly, and was very well acquainted with their selection of books.

Everything you could ask for in a book store. Old and new. Great prices.

Great location next to authentic Chinese and Italian restaurants! The art murals behind the bookstore are worth checking out. Excellent selection of books! Friendly customer service. Very few places to sit and read.

Small but well stocked bookstore. Patronize your local bookseller! Discover books you will not find elsewhere. (And ask them to add Madeline ffichs Stay and Fight.)

Everything you want in an independent bookstore: new and used books, knowledgeable staff, free bookmarks, even a rare books case. Low prices too.

Great feel to the bookstore. Very pleasant staff, amazing selection and who knew, used and new books for sale!!Ask about the new resident puppy!

This was a cute hole-in-the-wall place that my daughter and I found. They had a pretty small Young Adult section, but had a lot of the really popular series. Most of the books were being sold at full price, and there were a couple gently used ones you could grab for a couple dollars cheaper. The staff was really nice and they had a good mix of every genre imaginable. Definitely recommend, especially if youre willing to support a local business.

What a great find. This is a great little book store - a nice change from the bigger more corporate chains. They did carry some hard to find items although a bit pricey, worth the find. Very helpful employees. A good visit while downtown.

I live in CT and ordered a specific hardcover book that is out of print from another source for a special time sensitive gift. It arrived without a dust jacket and I had mere days before I needed to gift it. I tried innumerable other dealers and online stores, and nobody could deliver in time. I finally stumbled upon The Book Den and called with my fingers and toes crossed. Joaquin answered and in a matter of minutes had located the book, provided an accurate appraisal of the condition, and arranged expedited shipping. On top of this refreshing competence after dealing with many not so competent people, he was warm and clearly a professional and informed book dealer. He had even read the book and noted his favorite parts. I should also note that in addition to the stellar customer service, a pristine book with protective plastic sleeve arrived as promised, and all for a fraction of what I paid for the first dud. They have absolutely earned a customer in CT and I would highly recommend this business to friends across the country.

Great independent new and used bookstore. I found some oldies but goodies. Superb browsing! A must for bibliophiles!

The Book Den is a book lovers dream: a quiet sanctuary tucked away in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara that will fill your readers heart with gladness. Head down for a glorious hit of old book or pick-up the latest literary must reads. The staffs editorial taste cant be beat.

Great local book store.

Great staff good selection of new and used books dont miss this place

W/ Amazon taking over, i always try and visit any independent bookstores and get my books there. This one is a cute little one with a great selection. You also get 10% if you have a KCRW membership.

This place is a gem! Great selection of new and used books with a knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Awesome place to relax and flip through some pages.. however there is no section on natural science or nature in general.. and that is what I was looking for.

Honest to goodness mom n pop, brick & mortar book store. Found a couple of good titles and browsed a bunch more. Loved that place.

Clean and nice inside, great selection of new books but the selection of used books is fairly limited.

Great selection of books and knowledgeable owners.

Lovely place will continue to buy more books here

I consider this a pretty decent bookstore with a good mix of popular, classic, and early edition books. Not a bad place to take a seat and read a chapter, too.

Best kept secret in Santa Barbara. And it shouldnt be kept a secret any more.

Excellent. Good selection and very knowledgeable.

These guys are great!! Real, old-school, rare and used bookstore. Even if you arent looking to buy a book, its worth the visit.

Its a great mom and pop book store

A nice place to browse new and used books.

Quaint little book store with a mixture of new and old books.

I make a point to visit the Book Den every time Im in Santa Barbara and every time they have the book Im looking for in stock. I cant say that about any other book store, small or large.

Great place to find book Treasures
