Independent scholarly bookstore and used and antiquarian book shop at 7461 Girard Ave in La Jolla Village, 92037, open since 1979. D.G. Wills Books holds the largest collection of Classical Studies and Philosophy books in California alongside strong sections in math, science, military history, oceanography, theater, and foreign languages — new, used, and antiquarian. Owner Dennis Wills built the store's redwood-beamed ceiling himself; a hidden bookcase door leads to a warehouse of additional stacks. Has hosted Nobel laureates and Beat generation figures. Open daily 10am–5pm — and Girard visitors who want the newest releases, author events, and a Publishers Weekly Bookstore of the Year continue up the avenue to Warwick's. Village Square shoppers after a broader retail bookstore with a café head to Barnes & Noble on Villa La Jolla Drive.
