It can be difficult to find books for an eccentric like me, as I am always in the search for works in philosophy, religion, history, etc. Their selection is generous in choices in these categories as well as others, and I have already found 2 books I need for graduate school (and under $15 a piece!). Don't miss it, even just for a relaxing perusal.

I am so impressed with the quality of service from this book store. My cousin in Vancouver, BC…read morewanted to send me a book for my birthday. She was having challenges with purchasing via a Canadian cash order. The staff at Garcia's were able to work out the exchange issue with her. My cousin told me that I would get a text when the ordered book came in. I was perfectly happy to go by the store for the book when notified. However, Garcia's went above and beyond as only a small business who values its customers can do ..they HAND DELIVERED the book to my house!! I called to thank them for their outstanding service and wanted to encourage you all to shop at Garcia Street books!!

This place is exactly what bookstores should be! With works carefully collected over decades, the…read moreshop has unique and beautiful books you're not likely to find elsewhere - and at good prices too. The owner is super friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about books. I could have spent hours browsing and chatting. I'll most definitely be back! The shop doesn't open straight onto the main road but is still right in the Santa Fe plaza. From Palace Ave you go through some iron gates and through an outdoor hallway. It can look like you're not supposed to be there, but you are, so don't be put off - this gem is well worth the few extra steps! If you appreciate books you'll love this place. Don't miss it!

My sister and I have been searching for a special copy of The Call of the Wild for my…read moredaughter-in-law. She read it as a child and said it was a favorite book and inspired her to become a veterinarian. Mr. Nicholas Potter, Bookseller of Santa Fe, advised our search (from California and New Mexico) and introduced us to the Limited Edition Classics, although he did not currently have a copy. When we found a copy through a different bookseller in Pennsylvania, we consulted with Mr. Potter on that purchase. It turns out he knows that bookseller (clear across the country) and he vouched for the validity of his descriptions and his business practices. Clearly he is dedicated to the profession.

Thank you for allowing readers to not only touch but leaf through your rare collection, this is quite unimaginable in most used and rare book stores. I never thought I would be able to flip through a first edition of Oliver Twist as well as view original pamphlets that Dickens' works were printed in (ephemerals, as I learned). I hope to come in again the next time I am in town!

The shop has a LOT of fine stock and I wish I'd had more I could spend on transferring some of it to my own little location. As it was, he sold me some good titles I could take back to Texas with me, treated me like a colleague, and completely failed to behave like I was a tourist--and that's a GOOD thing! ::martha::
