Downtown Books

This is what used bookstores should be. In an old house with shelves jammed with books. This is the kind of store where you search through the shelves one book spine at a time, like a treasure hunt. I have found some unique older books here through the years. The owner is very nice and interesting to talk to.

My Hubby and I wanted to celebrate our Anniversary shopping at a local used bookshop when we found this gem. Such an incredible selection, great prices and Scott was a wonderful and friendly person to meet. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place to other book enthusiasts!

What a unique little (tiny) bookstore. We ended up stopping here on a trip through Albuquerque, where we found ourselves looking for used book stores. Large selection of books for such a small place – mostly older books, but a smattering of newer ones, also.

ABQ shop local shoutout goes to DOWNTOWN BOOKS on 8th. I love this place! Great location, great selection, great prices, great customer service. Will definitely be back. 10/10 would recommend

An amazing used bookstore.nI go into hundreds of bookstores – any town I’m visiting. I find them good ways to discover the coolest areas of town.nAnd this one didn’t disappoint.nI was only able to stay 20 minutes but found 5 books, all well priced.nSubjects are carrying and the owner had great selections of cooking, native histories, biographies, theatre, and an entire room of children’s/teens.nnThe owner, too, was so kind. Rare for a bookstore owner! They can be so grouchy but this man (I forgot to ask his name) was so helpful, kind, and energetic.
