    I really enjoy exploring this book store. They carry a wide variety of interesting used books in good condition (and some new). Lots of interesting books to look through but everything is organized and not cramped.

    The MSA Annex is such a great concept and I love the addition of a bookstore to the places to eat and shop. Desierto had friendly staff and a peaceful aesthetic with a lot of space and natural light. It was much bigger than I anticipated and I enjoyed perusing the shelves and seeing all of their finds, including the vinyl section. I like the inclusion of a classic and vintage bookstore to Tucson's list of bookstores and Desierto does it very well.

    This is such a cute bookstore. Most of the books are sued and in good condition but they do carry new books. It's such a cozy place either way room to sit and read and they carry amazing little gift and candles. The staff is friendly and so welcoming. The prices are fair. If you're looking for a bookstore that carries unique books and records this is the place.

    Desierto Books is a peaceful space. I like that it's located in the MSA Annex shops where you can do some other shopping, eat, and drink. I enjoyed the selection of books and that they have records for sale as well! The employees were very informative and so knowledgeable about books in general. The price point was lower than I anticipated on their books, which I appreciated. Take a look at their rare books cabinet! Interesting older editions to view. It's lovely to have this book store in the neighborhood and I look forward to stopping in again!

    My friend and I came in here briefly to see if they had a specific item (they did not, but thats…read moreok). The person helping us out was really nice and told us when we could check back to see if the item was in stock. I also walked around for a few minutes. There was a special buy one get one 50% off sale going on which seemed like a good deal. I didn't have a lot of time to browse though, so I did not take advantage of that sale. Hopefully they'll have it again soon! This Barnes and Noble seemed like any other one. I would come back here if I was in the area.

    What a surprisingly large, two-story BN here in Tucson. I was weirdly surprised by how small the…read moreHarry Potter section/supplies were. Maybe interest is waning. Anyways, I stopped in for a journal and found a beautiful blue leather lined journal with a fleur-de-lis on the cover. Then I stumbled across a "part-time" adult daily planner that was undated. Normally I wouldn't go for undated but this one spoke to me. The store is laid out really well and is very spacious. I appreciated the small Hanukkah display that was available. This is where things went a little sideways for me as I looked at the items on display. Two parties have a responsibility here, the buyer, Barnes & Noble, and the supplier, Paper Source. I'm so confused as to why either party believed an ornament was appropriate here. For what? We don't have anything or celebrate for which we would use an ornament. A Hanukkah bush is not a thing. The other thing that confused me was the with challah. Such weird items for Hanukkah. There isn't nor should there be an equivalent for every Christmas item to Hanukkah. They are not the same thing and there is no equivalence. Other than these weird Hanukkah items, if I were in the area again and needed to come back to BN, I would definitely stop in here. And per contract/usual, there was a decent sized Sbux cafe inside the store. One which I will never visit since I do not give my business to Sbux.
