    This independent bookstore has all the charm of Alpine along with a great selection of books. I particularly loved the variety and quality of their specialty sections and displays including their section on the big bend area, border issues, poetry, and staff picks. They even have a small used section and a handful of free books. In addition to books they have a selection of puzzles and stationary including cards by local artists. If you love books this bookstore is worth going out of your way to visit.

    Cute children's section in the back. Best sellers, non-fiction, thriller, classics, horror, and fantasy just to name a few genres available. They support local events and artists/authors.

    I love this bookstore. It's a charming, old school independent bookstore with a great stock of books and wonderful employees who wear their love of books on their sleeves. I make a point to stop at Front Street Books every time I'm lucky enough to be in Alpine! Don't miss their regional book section(s). I really like picking up some Texas fiction I've never heard of or a book about Texas landscapes when I'm here! This bookstore is surprising and lovely.

    See all
