Old Capitol Books

About

Old Capitol Books is a woman-owned bookstore located in Monterey's historic downtown Monterey. We stock a wide variety of used and new books, with everything from best-selling novels to radical political theory to local interest topics. We are also a venue and art gallery, hosting lectures, book clubs, philosophy discussion groups, poetry readings, and much more! Independent bookstores are locally owned and usually owner-operated stores. They cater to the needs of customers in a way that chain stores cannot. Independent booksellers care deeply about books and readers, authors and writing, and not just about making money.
