Cute little town at the gateway to the White Mountains. The city was established in 1870 and…read moreincorporated in 1953. The 2010 census said the population of the city was 10,660. But the population swells in the summer with tourists. Show Low lies on the Mogollon Rim on the eastern side of central Arizona. It is at an elevation of 6,345 feet so a place for those living in the Phoenix area to escape the heat. It's a small enough to get around easy and, yet, large enough to have a variety of restaurants and shops. There are many lakes and creeks for outdoor activities. Show Low is a fun place to visit. There are plenty of activities to keep all ages happy!

Okay, the fact that this is the first time I've been to this place is insane! We came into town and…read moreI couldn't wait to come here. I check out bookstores in every single city I visit and I'm so sad I've never even looked beyond Pinetop. The selection of books is mind-blowing. Room, after room, after room of genres that are endless. Books for everyone, not just selective books. Like some stores try to do. I could have spent HOURS in this place. The selection of vintage books is also to die for. My husband found alot too. I couldn't believe the prices either. Books that should be $10 plus marked down to $3 and the staff was so cute. They gave me stickers and a cute pin! We ended up spending less than $50 on not only brand new books but yeah the vintage ones too that were easily $50 at any other store. I can't wait to come to back! Next time we stop in my husband is in for a long visit! :D

Let me start by saying that locally owned used bookstores are some of my favorite places to visit…read morewhen I go on vacation. This locally owned spot is around the back of the building tucked away in the basement of the building. When we first walked in I was immediately in love with it. It's beautifully organized. The books seem to go on forever and there are genres for everyone here. Everything is clearly labeled and it's all alphabetical by author's last name so you can easily find whatever you're looking for. The folks we interacted with were friendly, kind, and helpful as well. If you need help definitely don't hesitate to ask. The discount book section is really fun to dig through and my mom ended up with one of the bags loaded with books for a good price. I actually ended up buying one of the new books from the front area and it was comparable in price to what you can get it for on Amazon. I'd rather the local business have that than the giant corp so I didn't mind. I would say that their prices are decent but not quite as low as other places. They're still priced well though and it's definitely worth stopping in to have a look if you're in the area. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area.
