Great selection of southwest books and a great resource for visitors to Bisbee. I recommend a visit to Bisbee Books and Music.

This is a great bookstore, with an added plus of a nice selection of art supplies. The book choices are well made and the shop also highlights local authors and local subjects. I could have spent hours in here. They also have an arrangement allowing purchase of digital books, which I intend to test very soon. read more

This isn't a big bookstore, but they have a fun selection of books on Bisbee's historical past and ghost sightings. They do have a very small selection of guitars but nothing really worth checking out if you're a serious musician. They get extra points though for their display of banned books they carry at the front of the store. Some of the books that have been banned in schools are amazing, such as Animal Farm. I remember when this was required reading in some of my old high school classes. It's worth checking this place out. read more

We stopped by while exploring Bisbee the other day. The owners were so friendly and very pleasant while answering all of my 11 year old sons questions. They have a great selection for being a smaller store and they are happy to help order anything you're looking for if they don't have it. If you're in the area it's definitely worth a stop - they have records, books, games, toys and even art supplies. Something for everyone so check them out! read more

Great informative owner who has a wide selection of books, records, art supplies, gifts, music and more. read more

I came in to this amazing bookstore a couple months back during pirate weekend! My girl and I loved this bookstore and were very welcomed by both owners! They recommend a Nautilus puzzle, which we are doing now and are blown away by how accurately their recommendation was to us! Thank you so much! We will be online ordering from them and when we can make it back to Bisbee we will definitely stop in! read more

I heard of an example of exemplary customer service by the new owners. A Florida customer who needed art supplies for a Mother's day gift contacted Bisbee Books for help. After working with the customer to select items within his budget over the phone with pictures, Ken wrapped and personally delivered the gift for his customer. read more

On December 7, 2019, as a featured artist, part of the Bisbee Books and Music Artist Series, I felt honored. This independent bookstore is a gem. Not only can you find just about any book on the history of Bisbee and it's surroundings, as well as a plethora of other books for literature buffs, children, with games to delight, there's musical options abounding...and reasonably priced art supplies, along with an ecclectic collection of clean used records. As the guest artist I was treated to a delicious lunch, the table for my art well placed in advance, and secure accomodations. This store is fast b coming a well loved hub in Old Town Bisbee. I highly recommend a visit here, especially for the holidays, as what better gift to give but art, music and books! 5 stars for sure! Thank you. read more

Wish I could give it zero stars... The guy who works in there strumming his ukulele was beyond rude to us and another customer that was in there. I would suggest going elsewhere for books unless you feel like being treated like crap. The second he did what he did, all the customers left the store. Being polite goes a long way... read more

Beautiful shop! Incredible selection for size. Anyone visiting Bisbee has to stop by this store!

I stopped in on a whim while wandering around Bisbee and ended up purchasing Christmas gifts. The shop has such a cool collection of local items and the employees are super-friendly without being overbearing. I will definitely use their online ordering/shipping feature when I return home because supporting small local businesses is important! read more

I love this store, I try to make it down to Bisbee a few times a year and every time I'm there I have to stop in at this magical shop. I say magical because every time I'm there they have something I'm absolutely interested in or the exact thing I was looking for or occasionally something I didn't know I needed. The most recent occasion was in November when I stopped in, I bought a book from the poet outside who was doing a signing and I really dug his verse. Once I went inside I didn't know if I was going to buy anything further until I looked to my right at the checkout and there was Turquoise paint. I'm an artist and I had just had a dream the previous night of a painting using that color. The only thing is, I didn't have that color at home and there it was. Not only that, but it was super inexpensive. So I picked that up. The friendly gentleman who rang me up said he'd like me to send a picture of the painting once it was done and I said I would. I finished it late last night and sent it to them. I also thought I could thank them here. I love this store and there's always something super cool that happens when I visit. It's just another beautiful aspect of Bisbee Magic. [Painting below: "Luna Nei Sogni Blu" (Moon in Blue Dreams), 01.15.2020, 16" x 20"] read more

Bisbee Books and Music - "Luna Nei Sogni Blu" (Moon in Blue Dreams) by Mitchell 01.15.2020 16" x 20" - Bookstores Near Me - Bisbee, Arizona

Bisbee Books & Music is one of the GREAT attractions in this special little corner of Arizona...they have a wonderful selection of new and pre-owned books, LP records and players, as well as art supplies, puzzles, toy plush animals and musical instruments, from kazoos to funky square ukes, to classic acoustic and electric guitars. You'll also find locally-made jewelry and greeting cards, fantastic local history, Arizona history, Native American and birding sections. Carol and Robert are your friendly tour guides to all this treasure, and it doesn't hurt a bit, that they are just a few steps from a great coffee shop and very tempting restaurant! Highly Recommended! read more

I love books and walked into this bookstore without seeing any signs that said don't take pictures. I got excited for two books that were side by side that I was interested in and pulled out my phone to send a pic to my fiancé. The man behind the counter yelled loudly while glaring and shaking his head at me. I apologized and quickly and put my phone away. I didn't get a pic. The entire time we were in the store this man glared at my sis and I that it made us too uncomfortable to continue to shop for books. I went across to look at jewelry and I found this man, on more than one occasion, glaring at me. I respect a shops right to not want pictures taken but the overreaction was totally overboard. These are used books, not art. You don't have to treat customers this way. I'll buy my books elsewhere. read more

Great selection for such a small space. I purchased many books for my grandson there as well as beginner musical instruments. Staff is knowledgeable. Cool and unique guitars for sale too. read more

Very friendly guys, and the store has a really interesting variety of things to check out. If you're in Bisbee, check it!

It's great having a nice independent bookstore just minutes from our home in a good location! I have purchased some very helpful books on Arizona birds & wildlife at this store. The owner was particularly helpful in helping me find books on native plants, as we are new to the Southwest, and are interesting in learning what is drought tolerant and suitable for our yard. I've been able to special order several books with assistance from the owner, including a surprise cookbook for my husband that contains recipes for homemade Mexican ice cream. It's so nice to support local businesses! read more

Bisbee Books & Music is as good as it gets! Locally owned and operated, it is a staple in the Bisbee community. It is a cute space with plenty of books (used & new), instruments, games, soap, etc.! I highly recommend making it a stop on any trip to Bisbee. Everyone there is incredibly knowledgeable and can recommend a great read, gift, or instrument. They also frequently have special events like local author book signings. Support your local business and shop Bisbee Books & Music! read more

The owner was very helpful and directed us to a book on birds of southern Arizona. Great location (across the street from the mining museum and in the same building as Bisbee Coffee). The store has a lot of books about the history of Bisbee along with some CDs and musical instruments. read more
