The staff at Barnes & Noble Booksellers was very helpful on November 26, 2025 when I inquired about…read morethe location of a new book. The first young person who helped me directed me upstairs. Perfect. I found one lone copy, but where are the other 39 that she mentioned? I needed 3 copies, 2 as gifts for Christmas and an upcoming birthday. I looked high and low. Nothing. So I approached the older man upstairs. He finally exclaimed, "Ohhhh, the rest of these are being retained for a class, so what I can do is order for pickup for you." I appreciated the kind service, but I had to head back home to the southeastern part of the state soon. It's two stories and quite spacious even with many others shopping. The cafe towards the back was super loud. This is a nice location in what is referred to as Uptown Albuquerque, NM, at the Coronado Center Mall.

This is a good place to come for books if you're near Coronado Mall. We are members of their…read moreloyalty scheme too, as we buy lots of books. If you are like us in that sense, the loyalty scheme is good value. There are two reasons we are not fans of their coffee shop: first, they have one of those "dark pattern" card payment devices. It makes it very hard when you are paying to leave no tip. You have to keep hitting the damn "no tip" part of the screen over and over for it to work. You should know that this is a deliberate choice on the part of the management. When they buy the card readers, they can choose ones that make it hard for someone NOT to leave a tip. It's a dark pattern you can investigate on YouTube. And it's a really evil thing to do. Shame on the sleazy manager who made that decision! It should be illegal and they should be punished. Second, and this is a problem going back YEARS, if you get a hot drink, it is very likely it will be super hot, like nuclear hot, practically burning through the cup. It will be at least twenty minutes before it's a safe temperature to drink. You think I'm kidding? I'm not, and you've been warned. PLUR, baby! Bonus complaint: My God in heaven, they interrupt with harsh and seemingly unnecessary messages for staff over the loudspeaker very, very often. I know it's not a library, but it is a bookstore. And people are trying to engage with books. Shhhhhut up, already!

It can be difficult to find books for an eccentric like me, as I am always in the search for works in philosophy, religion, history, etc. Their selection is generous in choices in these categories as well as others, and I have already found 2 books I need for graduate school (and under $15 a piece!). Don't miss it, even just for a relaxing perusal.

They had a poster by the entrance that caught my eye on my most recent trip - they sell a SNES handheld console! It is fantastic. I was able to try it out because they had a used one for sale the day I was there. After playing on it for a few minutes, I knew I must have one and now I've fallen down the wormhole of classic SNES games. Pricing on the Supaboy S and the games I bought were all fantastic. I was not familiar with pricing, so I did a little peeking on eBay before making a big purchase and all of the games were very very good prices. I expected to pay a good bit more to buy local, but GA seems to price their cartridges for about the same as they're selling for on eBay give or take.The Supaboy system was also a good price - it was available a few bucks cheaper online, but I'm literally talking about less than a 10% difference and buying local means having a great store like this AND not having to wait. I have checked out the other Gamer's Anonymous on the westside and I liked this location more. The staff here is friendly, approachable, and knows their stuff. This location also has some fun games playing on retro systems to let you relive some fun memories for freeeeeee! I'll be back! Update: ended up swapping the handheld Supaboy for a genuine Nintendo console a few days later. The store was fair to me - I had opened and used the Supaboy, so they did deduct a percentage of what it was worth to trade it out - but the process was easy. I would continue to recommend them.

Need something to read but don't want to spend a lot of money? How about a new movie or puzzle?…read moreThis is your stop! It's a non profit store selling used books, magazines, puzzles and more. Profits are directed to local libraries and literacy projects in Sandoval County. There's a great selection of all types of books - fiction, non-fiction, history, hobbies and more. Prices are reasonable - most things are $5 or less. I picked up 3 books for $9. New these books would have cost me over $50. The store relies on donations so the turnover is constant. Plus, everyone working there is a volunteer. I'll be clearing out my book shelf and take some with me to donate the next time I'm in the area. Lets see - inexpensive books purchases and helping to fund literacy? Sounds like a win-win to me.
