“Fun little indie theater. It seems like they mostly do second run movie classics for $5. I Love the trippy entryway.. it's small but cool and I like the purple painted space. One thing to note though is that they charge an automatic 20% gratuity. Fortunately, not on the ticket prices. As someone who's worked in the service industry for a long time in many different types of tip-based jobs and also independent movie theaters, I feel that it's quite excessive for just handing someone a candy bar or taking one step to scoop a bucket of popcorn. The tipping system is based around workers that get paid less than minimum wage so I'm curious if they pay a living wage there to their employees. If so, tipping should not be mandatory. Not to mention that if it's mandatory it's not a tip, it's a tax”

“My family and I perused their book stall in Albuquerque at the book faire in mid March, and the owner was engaging and talkative with my and my sister’s 5, 4, 3, and 2 year olds. It’s difficult for rare books lovers who have preschoolers to shop for books, but the owner made it a pleasure! What a treat to be able to shop without stressing out over my rambunctiously curious children upsetting or offending a rare book seller! I can’t wait to shop in your store when we visit Santa Fe.”

“We visited GSB on a Sunday morning. The store is an independent bookstore, which is my favorite kind. They carry new books (not used), and a small assortment of additional products (tote bags, bookmarks, etc).The bookstore is small so there’s not a super wide-ranging selection. I wouldn’t recommend going to GSB with a certain book in mind you’re trying to find. It’s better to go and browse and see what strikes your fancy.In the half hour or so we were there, we found five books to buy for $94.32 including tax. One was an analysis of Snape, the Harry Potter character, by author Lorrie Kim. It was aptly named ‘Snape: The definitive analysis of Hogwarts's mysterious potions master’.Go check GSB out. They’ve got a free book cart outside for a suggested small donation, plus sections inside to peruse.”

“Amazing selection of books in Spanish! Plenty of children’s books! Hours of operation are very limited. The manager, an older gentlemen will speak nonstop on his adventures in Mexico. You’ve been warned.”

“Cute book store with lots of new books and new titles. Mostly a kid's and young adult book store but they did have some adult (I was there looking at kids books) I didn't buy anything but lady seemed friendly. Also has some candy and cold drinks.”

“Unexpected treasure trove of books to choose from. Purchased several of local interest to bring home to read and continue our interest and appreciation in New Mexico. We enjoyed visiting with the owner. Books are such an important part of our home and we are so thrilled to have added some more to our collection. Thank you for that unexpected treat.”

“What a fun idea for a bookstore- all travel related! I was excited to find out about its existence. I like the local bookstore feel of the place and building it's in. It's great that you can custom print big maps, or buy folded maps of all different areas and trail networks. Downsides - the selection was really lacking for many parts of the world, including South America. I'd like to see a wide variety of books and goods, including more eclectic fun things related to travel- stickers, funky supplies... And lower price points on at least some kinds of things.”

“This is my favorite book store in Santa Fe. The selection at this tiny store is incredible. The shop owner seems so knowledgeable, like he has read every book in the store. Prices are so reasonable. Being in this shop, I feel a sense of peace and home. I wish all bookstores were like this one!”

“Place is awesome. Incredibly friendly staff. All George R. R. Martin books are signed. They even have all of his games based on Game of Thrones as well as some warhammer and D&D models along with some GW paints. In the back is a section of collector/rare signed books.”

“Very Helpful!! Thank you! Also, had the good quality maps, that the stores don't carry anymore. We've had enough lack of cell service, floods & fires on our backroad journeys to value carrying. Happy Trails & Thanks again!”

“I'm so glad I had a chance to visit, even though I only browsed. The most exciting parts of the store were the staff/tutor recommendations and the books written by faculty. Lots of good stuff, and friendly staff. Bags and things are supposed to be kept outside, but they were kind enough to let me leave my bag behind the counter (I'm a tourist practically living out of a backpack). Store highlights are definitely mythology and classics. I took an Uber in and enjoyed a nice, pretty, long walk back to town. Two thumbs up.”

“I have been a customer of this wonderful antiquarian bookstore for over twenty years. Each visit always includes at least one pleasant surprise, and sometimes more, as Andre Dumont, the proprietor, knows his customer base well and is always on the lookout for unique and rare titles to add to the budding collections of his customers. Andre has helped me build an impressive collection of Wagner-Camp and small regional, southwestern press material. He is always inviting and jovial and willingly shares his encyclopedic knowledge of Western Americana. I eagerly await the arrival of his catalogues and usually plan my visits to Santa Fe around a trip to his establishment, leaving plenty of time to wander through his stacks and chat. It is a rare pleasure to be able to visit with Carol, his wife and collaborator, when she is in the store in a rare respite from her demanding real estate sales schedule. I highly recommend a visit to this establishment, you will not be disappointed.”

“Amazing bookstore with a wide selection- it is somewhat chaotically organized. It’s like exploring a fantastic collection of books. If you love books this is the place to be.”
