Make this make sense Coas Management I've once brought by expensive books I have acquired throughout my travels and store credit wasn't applied until I complained. The credit applied did not seem fair given the condition of the books. This time im trying to buy books with in-store credit I have accumulated yet im told that's not possible, that a percentage is taken off/discounted. So basically the "in-store" credit i have accumulated (160.00) does not coincide with the rate discounted. I could have sold my books online vs taking it to a business that conducts fishy business. I want my in-store credit to reach 0.00 so that I may never do business with you all. Be more transparent with your "in-store credit" policy for books. Sincerely a salty combat veteran

Passing through Las Cruces and we have to hit our favorite used bookstore. The staff here are so incredibly knowledgeable. So many excellent books. It's not set up like a library or even a larger bookstore so don't be afraid to ask for help. PS There is a great (hidden, but worth the search) vegan coffee shop within walking distance (and two excellent-but-small museums too) within walking distance. I took my three little kids in with me to grab a coffee and the staff suggested steamers for them with their house made flavor syrups. So good! Bonus: the staff were all friendly and kind-- an excellent break from the soul-crushingly lame big coffee chains.

What a great bookstore right in the heart of Las Cruces! If you’re a bookworm, this is the place to be. There’s basically a genre with almost 100 books to go, with a couple copies at different prices. There’s about 5 different sections of the store, divided really nicely and all are wheelchair accessible. If you’re in the area, would highly recommend!

Been going to Coos for years. Great selection and able to use credit towards purchase of used books. The staff has always been courteous and helpful. Would highly recommend. Steve and Cheryl Larson

This is a great place to lose yourself for an indefinite period of time. I stopped in on my way through Las Cruces, anticipating spending a few minutes browsing. Then I went in and realized as I wandered that the inside seems to go on forever. Twisting and turning through a maze of rooms that all seem to lead to another, I kept finding something new to look at. If you like to read actual books and not electronic versions, this is a must see to appreciate kind of place. The staff is extremely helpful in navigating to a certain author if you ask. Great bookstore.

Many treasures. Lost myself for two hours. Their music scores selection is insane
