Organic Books

I stumbled upon a must-see bookstore in Nob Hill: the family-owned Organic Books. True to its name, the bookstore has an organic vibe--it's like they sprinkled a little bit of literary magic on the place. The owner, Kelly Brewer, is friendly and helpful, the kind of person who makes you feel like you've known them for years.The display at the entrance had a few of my favorite authors, and it was as if they knew I was coming. A local artist created the mural at the back of the store during the pandemic shutdown, adding a touch of artistic resilience to the ambiance. This bookstore specializes in local; I found some unique greeting cards and books from local artists that you won't find anywhere else.What truly sets Organic Books apart is its commitment to our community. They accept book donations, facilitate trades, and directly support our local authors by buying their books. This is a place that not only sells books but also nurtures our literary community. I'm overjoyed to have discovered Organic Books, and I can't wait for everyone to experience this haven for book lovers.

Recently moved to ABQ and this has easily become one of my favorite book shops with a large selection of new and great selection of used books. You won't be disappointed if a new reader or avid book lover!

The vibes? Amazing. The staff? Amazing. The selection? Amazing. I'll definitely be coming back if I'm ever in ABQ!

I found this little bookstore while I was parking to eat nearby. I went in to explore and I felt like a kid in a candy store. They have so many genres of books. Looks of newer bestsellers. They also have the books that have been made into different television series prominently displayed in case you like to read the book first or last. I let the gentleman at the register know I have a book club andI would post their information so the members could support local businesses. He was super sweet and encouraged me to take stickers and a bookmark. I left with just three books. One was a cute Spanish/English crossword book which I figured would be perfect to help practice my Spanish.

This is a GORGEOUS family owned used bookstore in Nob Hill. It is owned by writers and caters to readers! They have everything from cookbooks to the latest fiction and, of course, local authors! This is the indie bookstore Albuquerque has been waiting for!Kelly is one of the owners and she is simply phenomenal. I can't even tell you how much I love this place and how excited I am to have them here! The prices are so good and my days of Amazon buying are over! This is my new favorite place to be in all of Albuquerque!If you are a reader, this is a must stop! Seriously! Until you check it out for yourself, you won't understand the magic! It's everything I've ever wanted in my dream bookstore!

Small space but good selection of new books. Their classic section was a bit limited but I still found something to buy. Owner is very friendly.

Cute independent bookstore that has such a welcoming and relaxed vibe. I really loved the atmosphere here. They have a good mix of books and it was fun to browse around. I will definitely be back.

Great selection for a small indie bookshop. Wish their tables were more clearly organized because as a first time visitor it all felt jumbled. Wish this was my neighborhood bookstore.

Very nice neighborhjod bookstore in a very convenient location.In terns of stocking their shelves, and knowing what's goinv wih current bioks in print, they're outstanding.They're also very effucient and friendly ordering bookd they currently don't have on their shelves. They're vrry heloful with book ordering in person, over the phone, or by text.However, their behavior, conduct and demsanor st the front desk is uneven and unpredictable. Thus ranges from truly warm and welcoming to offputting. A neighnor told me this morning that they were so rude on first visit that he never went back.I used to live in another city, where the bookstore in my neighborhood was a true community builder. I often had super cool conversations with staff over a period of several years. They've even contacted me since i moved to let me know that they missed me. Sweet.They would also promote local writers, and help promote and stimulate local community events.Organic Books -- seems like they might be confused about the extent to which they wish to serve a similar community role.As a relative newcomer to Albuquerque, I sense that morale is a little bit low these days. Activiste have told me that about 8 years ago, it was as if the air went out. Might have something to do with the Great Recession. No one here seems to know.A bookstore can play a very special role in helping to revitalize a city's sense of vision and purpose.I wish Organic Books every success fot now and in the future.

I ordered a book online and discovered when it arrived that: 1. it was damaged, and 2. the price was significantly higher than the list price on the book. I was gifting the book to a friend and did not have time to send it back, but I did contact the store for a partial refund to reflect both the pricing and the damage. My contact was answered with a total refusal. This is another example of the "small business trap" of gaining a sale and losing a customer. Definitely, do not buy online from this vendor, as they will dump damaged items at inflated prices on you.
