I'm a collector and reader of books, and spend a lot on books. It's a shame the owners have allowed rudeness to run the show. Based on reviews alone, I'll never visit. On principle. One or two reviews about rudeness is normal. This many? What is wrong with you? How dare you treat people who love books so poorly? This needs to be addressed. I read reviews of businesses and simply don't visit the bad ones and you shouldn't either. Children should never be yelled at in a bookstore by strangers! Are you kidding? Get it together. Address the issues that make you needlessly attack. Bad form, bad biz.

I usually try to not post negative reviews, but I had to spare everyone else from the experience I had here. The owner was horrifically rude to me for absolutely no reason, and screamed at me for offering to help him with something he was struggling with. Looking at other reviews it seems my experience is not unique. I would recommend going elsewhere.

Terribly rude experience!I love to visit local bookstores and support local authors. Unfortunately the store shop keeper was extremely rude and unwilling to help customers. I would not recommend to anyone traveling and wanting to explore local book shops. There did seem to be an interesting selection of books.

The store features books on the Southwest and features many New Mexico authors.

I will never set foot in there again, the entitled owner was incredibly rude. When I asked about one of the books in the window about the history of Albuquerque, he says, "Well that's the wrong terminology.' Like WTF, a book is a book. When he grabbed a book from the shelf and I told him that wasn't the book from the window, his reply was well then you're out of luck. As I was leaving I told him he didn't need to be so rude, he told me I was rude for not answering him when he said, "hello". Now I'm slightly hard of hearing and if he did say that I did not hear it. Now I know the customer isn't always right but if you get that quickly bent out of shape when I customer does not respond to your hello you might want to consider getting out of retail.

Very cool store. But, unfortunately, won't be back to buy anything. He was pushing the kids books but my daughter, 6 years old, wasn't interested in any of them. As we were walking out, he said, "I tried so she's not welcome." I ignored it. Then, he said it again louder. It's unfortunate that he's not a very good representative for the local authors.

John is an enthusiastic supporter of local authors. And Treasure House books thus has a huge selection of New Mexico-related titles.

Rude on the phone. Cool you have a specific genre not cool you can't be polite if I ask about something outside that.

Great independent bookstore on the plaza. Books you can't find elsewhere. Knowledgeable friendly staff and fair prices.

The shopkeeper was extremely rude. I asked about pricing, and he said all were 19.99. One of my books said 14.99, so I asked even though it is marked lower. He went on to explain that a certain author's books were 19.99. Then proceeded to pick a fight with me for asking. Pretty sure he may be suffering mental illness. Do yourself a favor and just download off Kindle.

The owner was exceptionally rude. I didn't stay to look around and make purchases as I do in every single bookstore I walk into.
