Parking is a little tricky in this area, but there's a reasonably priced parking lot adjacent to the store. I had brought over some records from New York City, however the shop owner (Tito) wasn't available to appraise them. I ended up just donating the records, I'm just happy that a few of my records will be circulating around Puerto Rico. Let me know if you end up buying any the following (because these records used to be mine!): The Police - Synchronicity Fleetwood Mac - Rumours Michael Jackson - Off The Wall The Pretenders Fleet Foxes EP Alejandro Escovedo - Big Station (new) Joe Walsh - Analog Man (new)

I know that they do other services too: graphic design, vhs to dvd transfer, cassette to CD, and other stuff... I went in with an old LP and needed it transferred to Digital or CD. Murchison was able to get it done in less than 2 days and even improved the sound quality. Many times when I stop in, there are local musicians recording in the music studio in the back. The best thing is about this spot is that they have the biggest collection of reggae, soca, calypyso of even the most hard to find tunes.

My only complaint is this place is going to be so popular, I wish they'd made the new location even bigger! Definitely recommend this place.

2017's 100 reviews challenge! 4/100 Best library in town!…read moreI've been looking for what seems like ages, for books related to Puertorrican myths and legends... I've called and visited so many libraries in PR I have lost count. During this past week I decided to go to Rio Piedras, "barrio" in San Juan, Puerto Rico's capital, where a lot of libraries surround one of the University of Puerto Rico. After going to 4 different libraries, I ran into this one. Little did I know I had found a gem in the middle of Río Piedras... One of the employees there took me to the second floor, where old, vintage and classic books are hidden from the public eye. Several first editions. This librarian took me on "a trip" down Puerto Rico's most interesting stories... after an hour or so I left the store with around 7 books based on the topic I have been looking for and every book ranged from $5-15. I took 7 books for little over $70.00 and when I reached for a CD of Puertorrican traditional songs, the librarian gave me the cd for free. This place is the best! They have from the newest to the oldest books! Do NOT hesitate to visit it if you love books.

It is not huge but you can wander for a bit among the stacks and find mysteries, adventure, fiction, nonfiction, classics and current popular books to choose from. There is an assortment of titles and authors available in English and Spanish. If you traveled with a young or teen reader, they too will be happy. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable bibliophiles willing to recommend or help you find a book. They have a seating area and a very nice cafe. If it is a rainy day and you are looking for something to do, it could be a nice escape. So, by all means, make way to The Bookmark.

Came during the week on a Tues and it was not too crowded, which was a welcome treat as I do not like shopping malls at all (nor shopping in general). I really enjoyed this mall, though, as it has a bit of everything including some non USA stores. Mall doesn't look like much from the outside and you cannot tell (at least from our entrance) that it looks like a mall until you get outside. Very clean, upscale, and has something for everyone.
