Page 1 Books

A new and used bookstore, complete with a rare book area and gift shop. The store is laid out by reader age and genre, so children, YA readers, and adults won't have an issue finding books. An associate asked if I needed help while I was browsing, and then the associate up front let me stack books behind the counter before check-out. Both were friendly and helpful. The only two suggestions I would have are I'd love to see thrillers parsed out from general mystery, and then I'd love to see an LGBT romance section; there's paranormal romance and then general romance with LGBT mixed in. Overall, a nice store to browse with a good selection to browse through. I found three used books I had no idea I needed, and the total was only $12.

An amazing independent bookstore with friendly staff and an inviting presence. Lots of great books and displays to browse away the day. You can also bring in your "retired" books and trade/sell them to purchase new selections! Win! Support local and keep small businesses alive!

I love this bookstore. It's what bookstores were like when I was growing up. I love the kid selection for my granddaughter, and I can always find unique books for my daughters classroom to follow her curriculum. If I'm looking for unique titles or books to appeal for special gifts I find it. I love the local authors collection! It's just a good nostalgia of books.

I love stopping by this store! They have it well organized and an abundance of books, you are sure to find what you want! All the staff have been super friendly every time I go in! Definitely worth checking out!

Page 1 probably has the best selection when it comes to local bookstores in Albuquerque. Overall the store is organized very well and I love the front area where there are so many different themes to help you find some interesting reads. This last time I went in I think it was Mystery Book Week according to the round table in front of the cash register. They also have a great selection of used books, I do wish there was some way of telling which copies were used though before pulling them off the shelves. I prefer to buy used most the time because those copies are more affordable as well as it's a great way to make more sustainable choices. The used books are all mixed in with new copies so you kind of have to do some digging. Parking is available but the lot is kinda set up weird. The little shopping center that it's in is always busy and has a ton of random businesses.

Ermahgerd this was such a WONDERFUL place to turn a speciality bookdealer loose! Their Southwest section was full of desirable Texana (my own specialisation) and I walked out with ten items averaging $10 each to take back to my own little shop. If I hadn't already spent myself out earlier in the trip, I would have glommed onto even more.

I just discovered this little gem today! How rare and special to still have a small local bookstore near by. The people were so helpful and friendly! They also had some great gifts. I can't wait for my sister to visit, so I can bring her here!

The bookstore is ok-their local section is good and I love their battle of the books section (even though it's in the back). Their local section is easy to find and well stocked. Honestly however as a parent that tries to keep their kiddo engaged I wish they would support kids reading more. The gentleman (loose term) at the buying counter is extremely rude and dismissive and rarely takes even the most perfect books while the used options for kids is slim. The staff in the back is usually wearing earphones and clearly annoyed at being disturbed with inquiries. It's definitely not the bustling community bookstore it once was.

greatest small book store ever, love them. always fun events happening and interesting ideas! the staff is great and lovely best ever!

My favorite Albuquerque bookstore! Amazing selection of new and used books; plus courteous, friendly service at all levels. The staff is just the best, so helpful! An added bonus: a delightful gift selection.
