      Las Cruces is home to the largest used bookstore in New Mexico and it is, in a word, amazing. If there is a genre of book they don't have it likely doesn't exist. They also have everything from records to DVDs as well as new books. You can even donate your previously owned items for store credit. The staff is always friendly and helpful and I've yet to visit without taking something home. From time they will have special events and book signings, often from NM authors. Simply said, if you love books this place is for you.

      Staff. Super friendly. Books. Huge Bookstore. Each section is well in order. Fiction & non fiction. Large Anthropology section may be largest i have seen before ever. Art section, books are older, Needs more recent acquisitions like Half spruce Books. Cleanest bathroom ever!! These guys respects well all and they deserve 5 stars even more. I supported them today and hopefully will come soon:)

      Books, books and more books! Unfortunately this bookstore isn't open at the present time due to COVID-19. I highly recommend visiting when it's back in business. It' so big...you might even get lost! I'm being serious here! Lol. Don't leave the kiddos or whoever you go with behind somewhere!
      This is probably one of the largest bookstores in the area. I could easily spend hours in there. They mostly offer used books. You'll find some new ones. I found Coas back when I was a college student at NMSU. I'd enjoy hanging out whenever I had time. I'd sometimes study in there. Coas has something for everybody, people of all ages. The last time I went, they had a coffee shop as well. I remember the coffee tasting very good. Go to Coas, you won't regret it.

      Located in the heart of downtown Las Cruces. This used bookstore is a great place to go to because the city's library is closed during the pandemic. The sections of the store include children's, fiction, media (CDs, DVDs, records), puzzles and even a comic book section. They also accept donations & do trade in.

      Super helpful staff and a HUGE selection of books. I was able to buy the entire Harry Potter series in hard back for a steal. They even helped me pick up a few of the missing books from the other location. I could stay here for hours and browse.

      Simply amazing used book store, what a selection! I read a lot of science and technology books. They don't have a science section. They have a whole bunch of sections like microelectronics, mechanical engineering, systems science, computers Thomas Edison....ect. You get the idea, they have so many books that usual sections in other used book stores are greatly subdivided here. Just amazing everything I could find here, awfully impressive. I'm from out of town, but I'd be here all the time if I lived in Las Cruces.
