“Very interesting and fun bookstore to look around. In addition to English books, there are a large collection of books in Spanish Portuguese. The owner is very knowledgable and fun to talk to.”

“One of my absolute favorite shops in Santa Fe. I’ve been coming here for almost 10 years and it has never let me down. Employees have always been welcoming and helpful. Bonus stars for shop cat 🐈⬛”
“Spectacular bookshop with an incredible inventory of art, photography and poetry books at really fair and below-market prices. Also an impressive literature section (and more — you’ll find at least a few books you can’t live without). Leo is so fun to chat with, very knowledgeable and friendly!”
“What a find. So glad we drove past this store on the way to Tomasita's. Best bookstore, used or new, I've visited in years. Was such a pleasure to talk books with David. Super well curated selection of fiction. I'd disagree with others about pricing—~$8 is definitely in line with used books in very good condition. Can't wait to come back.”
“Garcia Street Books is one of my favorite bookstores on all earth, and I have been to hundreds, all over the world. For me, it ranks with my number one, City Lights in San Francisco, and Shakespeare and Company in Paris. For the same reasons:
* First and foremost, the curation and selection of the books for such a small store is unparalleled. It is a selection by True Book Lovers led by the current owner Jean Devine, supported by her staff and fiercely loyal customers, like me.
* Secondly, it is completely unpretentious and makes the books the superstars. They are beautifully displayed and carefully arranged to support easy discovery of genres. Books are alive and tactile. Jean recognises this and supports it by creating an atmosphere that invites bibliophiles to pick up, read, browse, sit down, and relish being in a bookstore created by other Bibliophiles. The atmosphere is both friendly and inviting and reverential.
It is one of the great treasures of Santa Fe which is replete with treasures.
Go to Garcia Street Books. You will be in a Temple for those that truly love reading and books.
THANK YOU, always, Jean, for creating this glorious haven.”

“I'm so glad I had a chance to visit, even though I only browsed. The most exciting parts of the store were the staff/tutor recommendations and the books written by faculty. Lots of good stuff, and friendly staff. Bags and things are supposed to be kept outside, but they were kind enough to let me leave my bag behind the counter (I'm a tourist practically living out of a backpack). Store highlights are definitely mythology and classics. I took an Uber in and enjoyed a nice, pretty, long walk back to town. Two thumbs up.”
“What a neat place!
Passed by it + although it was closed I had to look in the window.. Older styled maps + all kinds of antique style books..
What a great find. I love stores like these that remind us of past days loved.. a true memoir of times past... but also brought into the future. Thank you. :)”
“Cool little nook for buying books, minifig painting and other eclectic activities. The staff are soooo friendly. I liked all of the LGBTQ positive things . Got my tarot cards read. Such nice people”

“Oh come on! This place has the largest and best seating area in the neighborhood, it's super quiet with soft music playing in the background, and there's a fantastic bookstore attached as well.”
“Wish I knew about this before I visited Santa Fe I was amazed when I stumbled upon this gem. I was in the area cause I visited Meow Wolf and we just so happened to get a treat next door At Kakawa Chocolate House Luckily I wondered in I will be coming back with more time to spend going through all the books they haveThey were helpful and kind and allowed me to browse threw any book”
“There has been a lot of care put into this B&N location. Each category and section has been carefully organized and thematically decorated. It really helps to pull people in to seek out a book they may not have otherwise found. It was wonderful seeing a busy bookstore where people seemed genuinely happy to be working. We’ll be back!”
“A bookstore and adventure in one! It is the kind of bookstore where you find a treasure by letting your curiosity take the lead. It is my favorite bookstore in Santa Fe.”
“A classic used bookstore, books are piled high all over the place. Fun to just poke around and see if something catches your eye. Proprietor was very friendly.”
