Nicholas Potter Bookseller

This place is exactly what bookstores should be! With works carefully collected over decades, the shop 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 daughter-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.

Small but very nice bookstore with a great selection of titles (well-organized on top of that) and a friendly owner. Worth coming back for.

Brilliantly curated little shop, run by a bookseller committed to quality and fairness. I've been a customer (and friend) for many years. Loving used bookstores, I've visited many of this sadly disappearing breed across the country. Nick's has remained one of the very best. Don't miss it when you are in Santa Fe. His shop and his knowledge of books will enchant you, and, if asked, he will regale you with Santa Fe history and stories you will long remember.Am I a prejudiced client...absolutely. Do I exaggerate...not a bit.
