Book Mountain Paperback Exchange

This is hands down the best bookstore in town. They have the fairest prices and best selection. My husband and I have been trying to find something that meets our expectations after being regulars at Half Price Books, and we found it!

Great bookstore in Santa Fe, we found out about it checking on line the area for another bookstore.We stopped here on a Friday and they close at 6 pm not at 7 pm as it's on Yelp and Google. Sunday closed.We stopped by next day since we were in the area! Parking in the back!The store is big, very well organized, has great customer service and many rooms with many bookshelves. A paradise for book worms like us!Prices are decent, we met other nice customers and chatted with them. It's a nice hangout as well.Great books selection and left with many goodies, had to restrain ourselves since we were taking a plane and didn't have so much room in the luggage.Nice store in Santa Fe, if you live there, check it out. If you visit and need a book, stop by. Very inviting and cozy!

This is a wonderful bookstore in Santa Fe. The owner was warm and welcoming and gave us a helpful tour to explain how things were organized. Great selection, too-- not to mention great prices -- I highly recommend stopping here!

Excellent experience - the owner and shopkeepers are friendly and wonderful to chat with. Took advantage of their 50% SciFi sale and walked away with a lot of books - will definitely visit this gem again! Organized. Free Bookmarks. Something for everyone. Helpful in hunting down a title. Smells like a good read and a bit of pipe tobacco. Warm welcome. Friendly staff.

Book Mountain has been a Santa Fe staple since the mid-seventies. Peggy and her husband used to be on the touring circuit with their folk music act and used this storefront to satisfy the local book reading population ever since.They were the longest-running comic book store in Santa Fe too, satisfying the kids and adult collectors for decades before they sidelined the store with True Believers, who eventually broke off into their own store, breaking a few hearts and a lot of feelings.But if you are into book exchanges that were more active in the 1970's and 1980's due to economic downturns in the economy, this is your place to find both new and older books to read.Note that you get an account when you do your first buy that gives you a membership discount, and they don't rely on computers or take credit cards. Everything is hand-written.

Peggy is getting s little grouchy in her days and starting to be a little rude especially to kids. We have been going here for years and have always purchased books to enrich our school curriculum . We are homeschoolers and Peggy doesn't realize the potential she could have if she would cater to the homeschool community buy excepting books for homeschooling. But need less to say it is a great little used book store.

IF YOU LIKE THE GREAT FEELING and smells of book shops, like to get significant discounts on used books when you bring some in, this is the place for you. (Unless they already have what you want to give up). PLUS you'll be shopping locally, supporting small family-owned business. Indeed, the folks are knowledgeable...I went there once, described an authors style (couldn't remember who) and they "named the author" in one second!! Nicely organized. Lots of parking

Love this place, it's full great finds! The owners are great and Rick is always super knowledgeable when it comes to great book suggestions.

An incredible selection and very well organized by genre and then often by author. The best deal is to bring them paperbacks and get store credit! With store credit your books are a pittance of pocket change. Reduce,Reuse, Recycle and save money and time shopping.

the owner was funny and welcoming, they had a HUGE book selection, all their hardbacks were 3 dollars, and their paperbacks were sold for 40% their original sale pricethe inside is bigger than it looks, btw, when you walk in the room you see is no where close to their full collectionthe owner aslo really knows what they're selection is despite the fact they aren't electronic
