Popped in this unassuming little bookshop after a altitude-adjusting hike nearby. This is a cute…read moreshop that features a variety of books from Native American history to culinary cookbooks to the latest thrillers. The store owner is a sweet lady who was kind enough to show us around and introduce us to the cuuutest friendly cato named Sammy! Well, she introduced herself, really, which was just purrfectly fine by me. If you're in the area, do come by for a visit! It was so nice hanging out on a hot desert day while in the gorgeous Taos!

I love this store! Great selection of mostly-used and out-of-print books, as well as used records,…read moreold postcards, and antique music books. I recently bought three vintage Time-Life books here, and they are awesome. If you go in here, you will undoubtedly leave with a treasure. It's what I like to call a "treasure hunting spot." Be sure to check out the dollar bin out front. Sometimes you can even get free books out there! All in all, this place is pretty cool.

This is just the kind of little used bookshop I envision when I romanticize opening a dusty little…read moreshop with all my favorite books. It is a tight space, but the staff was friendly and they seemed to have a steady stream of locals coming in for their special orders. There was a little bit of everything. I found a cute Norman Rockwell Christmas book, so it was a winner for me :) I would make it a regular stop when in Taos!

I love a fair trade shop and this one was welcoming and chock full of delightful surprises! The…read morestaff was friendly and welcoming and helped us find various options, as well as had some great suggestions. My purchase of a bracelet made locally was an easy sell as it is beautiful, but there were many other gift items and purchases that I would have liked to make. The prices weren't too bad and each has a story of those who made it, which helps to remind a shopper that their purchase goes toward someone's fair livelihood. Love it! I'd go back and get all my gifts if I had more time, but definitely worthy of a look and a browse.

From outside it looked like a store I could have spent some money at, but after I entered, while…read moremasked up, I was approached by the owner who demanded I apply chemicals to my skin before being welcomed to the store. I refuse to inundate myself with chemicals to passify a business owner living in fear. To respond, I did come in. But I was not made to feel welcome, to even look, because I didn't care to use your chemicals. I had just washed my hands. That should have been enough I feel. "Local" or not, it's chemicals. You tried to force it, I refused, and spent money elsewhere that day. You didn't offer to sign anything accepting any responsibility for adverse effects I might have even . . Main point, You don't get to impose your stuff on my body, and I just hope you'll look at what kind of customer experience I had there and maybe grow from it.

Hundreds of fossils, geodes, ancient stones, petrified animals, etc., almost like walking through a museum! A fascinating place for young and old! A word of caution tough... the old adage "you break it you buy it" should be remembered here. Although many of the items are stone, they're still breakable, and some are quite expensive! Ask for help if you want to touch something! LOL The staff is great, knowledgeable and ready to assist. Well worth your time if you're in the area!

I am writing to update my prior, not-so-positive review of this store. My initial review was mixed:…read moregreat in-store experience, followed by a sub-par encounter when I tried to order additional items by phone, text, and email (I tried all three). As I learned when the owner responded to me, it turns out it was a perfect storm of bad luck (illness) that led to the non-responsiveness. Since that review, not only has the proprietor (Max) reached out, but he also agreed not to charge me until the products were in route. All in all, I regret my earlier intemperate comments, and am now upgrading this store to five stars, to match the outstanding visit we had to the physical store when we visited Taos in October, and the excellent follow-up experience I am now having since Max re-emerged after his illness. (You could tell when I wrote the initial review that I had mixed feelings about leaving it; turns out I should have held off.)

Came for a leather workshop offered by Max (beginners level) and had a great experience working on…read moreveg tanned leather for the first time. Max obviously knows leather well and explained everything from where the store sources their leather, to leatherwork process, to stitching more difficult items like handbags. The store offers various items like vase/kleenex box covers, small totes, notebook covers, belts, etc. Everything is handmade, down to the prints that are pressed into the leather when creating products. Max even took out his kit of metal stamps and showed us how he hand-stamps the surface of the leather, which was awesome. I was also asking a lot of questions and he was able to characterize a lot of his work for me. Really cool experience that I would recommend for everyone!
