Originally built between 1850 and 1860. The building has a beautiful ceiling complete with vigas and latillas.

Fun, charming and organized store. Lots of history books and non fiction but has some used gems of all sorts. I never leave without a book, has great kids section. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Owner who orders the books brings their cute dogs sometimes.

As far as bookstores go, they have a great selection of unique books. The owners are knowledgeable and helpful if you are looking for book ideas. The place is a destination itself, the art and artifacts inside are interesting.

Owner does not want photos of the location done for security "reasons", the place is not a fort Knox place has doors that look they are going to fall. Owner looked lost I had to explain my intentions as if they where a child. I offered delete photos and will do so. I feel that the owner doesn't realize the community wants to help out. Note I was intending of purchasing couple items not anymore.

Wonderful bookshop, located in a 4 room adobe building on the town’s main square. Great selection of books peculiar to the area and it’s history as well as best sellers and classic novels and books. Very well curated: on the day of our visit there was a display of books on campers, vans for camping, and little houses together with some toys of the same theme. Fun! Electic and educated taste, worth a stop to browse and enjoy the ambiance.
