You can definitely find some legit books here, but you're going to have to dig!…read more The exterior of the building is a bit deceiving, because when you walk inside the corridor keeps going on and on! There are many turns and nooks and crannies that books are stuffed into, so you could spend hours in here! Thankfully the books are placed into sections so there is a semblance of organization, but after that it's a free for all which is actually pretty fun :) The guy who runs the store is nice and likes to talk to you when you are paying for your books. I'll be back to see what else I can find after I finish reading what I bought :)

Sure enough, in the back of this teeny tiny shop the woman working there found a copy in the Christmas stock (that they typically keep boxed until after Christmas). She chatted with said kiddo for quite a while and found out his dream of becoming a "kingzard" (a king who is also a wizard) and found this amazing kids book on wizarding! It was a fantastic experience and we will be back next time we're in town!

This was my favorite store to visit while in Durango! There's nothing like a cute, local town…read morebookstore and this one did not disappoint. They had a local section about how Durango became a town and even more, along with popular books that were broken down in sections by genre. I picked up a couple books and the staff were super friendly. They give you a bookstore bookmark. I'll be checking it out again next time I visit Durango!

I can't begin to say enough positive and loving things about this store, and its wonderful owner…read moreDorothy (hence the name!). I have been buying books here for years, and have never found a better selection of tomes about spirituality, consciousness, awareness, astronomy, and other "New Agey" topics in a store this small, anywhere. At first glance it seems like a typical little crystal/bookstore place, but closer examination reveals a surprisingly solid selection of some of the classic spiritual texts, often used, and at truly fair prices. I have found some of the best books I have ever encountered about life here, and usually at a quarter of their original prices. Dorothy is not here to get rich; she is here to provide a true public service to those aware enough to seek the wisdom of history's greatest minds in figuring out why we're here and how to live a life of integrity and intelligence. She has given me so many great deals, and always with her wonderful smile and great vibe. It has always amazed me that I can never find mention of this place on goole or anywhere, and no one ever mentions it here in town. Dorothy and her husband have been running this place for decades, and apparently it has remained a well-kept secret. I hope this review can change that, as I can think of no one else in town who better embodies the Durango spirit than these two lovely folks. Their bumper stickers are also hilarious! Humor and wisdom go hand in hand... God bless you guys, and Buddha and Allah and Zoroaster too! You have brought a lot of love and light to our little slice of heaven, and I know I'm but one of many who are truly grateful that Under The Rainbow lives on as a beacon of intelligence in Durango.

This is a lovely combination bookstore and cafe, and I highly recommend visiting if you're in…read moreTelluride! I stopped by mostly to peruse their book selection, but I noticed they had a cute selection of knickknacks and souvenirs that were different from what you get in surrounding souvenir shops, so that was a plus. The book selection had a good amount of variety too, with both backlist and recent publications available. I also got an iced salted caramel latte from the connected cafe, and it legitimately was one of the best caramel lattes I think I've ever had. It seemed like maybe it was homemade caramel sauce instead of just a flavored syrup and the difference was apparent. If I ever find myself in Telluride again, I would definitely revisit it!

One of the main things I love about going to indie bookstores is the ability to find both new,…read moreunique books you may have trouble finding elsewhere, and editions of classics you've never seen before. Between The Covers indeed had both! Including a picture of the one I was most fascinated by. If I had more money to my name I would've wiped their collection of Where's Waldo books clean. Great selection (definitely look at the staff picks!) of books for all ages, beautiful Telluride merch you won't find in the town's gift shops, and other cool miscellaneous stuff like kids toys and educational materials. They had some playing cards with Spanish / Italian / Japanese translations that I thought were really cool. A must if you're in town!

I used to go to Amy's Bookcase when I was a kid growing up in Farmington. I spent many happy hours…read morethere. They had a deep science fiction collection, far better than any other bookstore in town, and the prices were always reasonable. When I left town for college I sold my 2000+ volume collection of science fiction and fantasy books to them, and although I was able to use the proceeds to buy a much needed computer, I always regretted losing those books to do it. After 32 years in the San Francisco Bay Area, I moved back to New Mexico. My wife Valerie and I took a trip up to Farmington so I could show her where I grew up. Imagine my surprise when I found Amy's Bookcase still there! And bustling with shoppers! And with just as great a selection as when I was a kid! Better, if I'm honest. I looked for some of my books (which I initialed on the top edge with a black marker). I was a little disappointed not to find any, but I picked up a few well thumbed books that I remembered fondly from my youth and a few newer ones besides. My wife and I will absolutely be coming back when we're in the area. It's a great store run by fantastic, friendly people, and they have a lot more than science fiction to offer. We can't recommend Amy's Bookcase highly enough. Jeff and Valerie
