Welcome to Latitude 33 Bookshop

Latitude 33 Bookshop is the kind of old-fashioned independent bookstore that so many of you remember: a unique place filled with a wonderfully eclectic and interesting collection of books. Our staff of avid readers love to recommend the perfect book for you or someone else. Come to us to special-order new or out-of-print books.

This site features the BookSense search engine, a powerful tool allowing you to search for and order books at any time of day or night. When you order from us via this site and pick up your books at our store, they usually cost less than at that other website - and you get credit in our Booklover's Club ($10 credit for every $100 in book purchases). Of course, if you prefer, you can choose to pay the shipping fee and order books sent directly from our supplier to you.


NOTE ABOUT ORDERING: This site is hosted for us by the American Booksellers Association in coordination with book wholesalers. Most books will say "Ships in 1-5 days", which is possible, if you want to have a book shipped directly from the wholesaler. Most of our customers prefer to have us bring in the book, avoiding freight charges. We order daily before 10AM, and over 90% of the books we order arrive the following business day. Order by phone or email so that we receive the order by 9:30 AM Monday through Friday for this next-day service.

A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose
by Tolle, Eckhart
The highly anticipated follow-up to the 2,000,000 copy bestselling inspirational book, "The Power of Now"
With his bestselling spiritual guide "The Power of Now," Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived "in the now." In "A New Earth," Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world. Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence.

"The Power of Now" was a question-and-answer handbook. "A New Earth" has been written as a traditional narrative, offering anecdotes and philosophies in a way that is accessible to all. Illuminating, enlightening, and uplifting, "A New Earth" is a profoundly spiritual manifesto for a better way of life-and for building a better world.

Eclipse Eclipse
by Meyer, Stephenie
"Third time is definitely the charm for Meyer. I couldn't put this book down. Like her earlier novels, Twilight and New Moon, this one captures more than your attention: It captures your heart." --Monica Shambaugh, The Next Page Bookstore, Decatur, IN

Quote of the Day
"A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity, and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon, and by moonlight."
