A bibliophile's dreamland tucked away in a quiet corner of El Paso with floor to ceiling books and an owner with encyclopedic knowledge of his inventory. He took the time to answer numerous wide-ranging questions and offer many suggestions for other readings. He knew many of the authors personally. 24 of us were studying at UTEP for two weeks; a third of us visited the store. All of us left with at least one gifted book and a deep sense of gratitude for the personal attention and thoughtful recommendations. A unique place, proprietor, and one of the many reasons to fall unexpectedly in love with EP.

Small, but very cozy. Staff was very knowledgeable, professional, and extraordinarily helpful. Selection is a bit more on the non-fiction side, although there is a substantial amount of fiction as well. Likely a great resource for college students, and students of the world. More than fair prices for high quality and good condition books. A true gem, will be returning in the future for sure.

Friendly and engaging owner. They greet you the second you walk in. Clean, organized shelves and an abundance of genres. I asked for help and they took the time to try and find a book then showed me several suggestions. I received a discount, great conversation and an amazing first visit. Definitely going back!

Great bookstore! I loved the local El Paso author books offered there. Couldn’t leave without snagging a couple of books! The owners/staff were also incredibly nice. 5/5

I adore this bookstore. I stumbled upon it by accident. They have a mix of old and new books. Their customer service is top notch. The owner is such a sweet person, and he’s so helpful. No other bookstore can compete with their prices either. For example, I left with 4 books the other day and only paid $40. If I had gotten the same ones at Barnes and noble I would’ve spent well over $80. Do yourself a favor and visit this bookstore.

A charming and lovely book shop tucked into the corner of a shopping center on the West side of El Paso. I am in love with their world history section. Very friendly owner. Wish I lived here so I could join their book club.

I love supporting local small business owners and Bill's store did not disappoint. He helped me find just what I was looking for. I appreciate his dedication to knowing everything he has in stock and the touches he put into his store. Scrabble tiles on custom tile holders provide a whimsical and witty touch to finding your way around the store. All people who entered were greeted with kindness and enthusiasm. If you need a book and he doesn't have it he will find it for you.

We stopped in yesterday on our way through town and the selection was wonderful, pricing was good. Lots of stuff we had been looking for for months! Owner had a very helpful knowledge of everything in the shop and will help you find what you need. Also has a wealth of knowledge about the authors themselves. A perfectly cultivated bookstore!

I visit El Paso a few times a year, and any time I'm in town, I have to pop into Literarity. The owner, Bill, has a passion for books that's palpable the moment you step inside. Every section feels lovingly curated, the books are in excellent condition, and Bill is always at the ready with a pitch-perfect recommendation. I can't emphasize that last point enough; tell him about a book you loved recently, and you'll end up with a great conversation and a few new books in your hand. Literarity may be small, but I'd put it up against just about any book store I've ever been to. To me, it's everything a book store should be.

One of the finest, most wonderfully-curated indie bookstores I’ve ever seen. Bill was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and the selection was drool-worthy to say the least. It’s clear that so much care and love goes into the place. Can’t recommend the experience highly enough.

I always find a couple of books that I like and the atmosphere is very warm and cozy. I went in today not realizing they were closed and the owner was nice enough to let me buy the book I had just picked out when he realized I was in the shop. I will definitely continue to come here whenever I need a few new reads and recommend it highly to others

Literarity is a wonderful rare book shop. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for old, rare, or unusual nonfiction and history literature. Bill is a great bookseller and will also help you locate rarer books from other reputable sellers he knows. Plus, he makes great recommendations. I absolutely love this place.

Such a cute bookstore!! Lots of books in many categories, extremely helpful owner, and when asked about books if he didn’t have them he added them to the buy list. A very cute, must support, local business.
