Bookworks Review

I called to see if they had some books for a friend of mine's daughters first birthday. They had them . Went over the guy said he would have them wrapped up. Which I admit thought he meant they just have in the bag but it was completely wrapped a lot nicer job than I could have done. These people love books which is good the only bad thing I can say about is you can't go in and browse at the current time . Otherwise I would probably still be there. Your local bookstore and they ordered books for me that I wanted and always had them for me when they came in. Just remember we got to keep our power local by here. I cannot speak to the Malcolm x had about losing your power giving up your power . You just listen to the speech without any contacts pre-notions. And like they say a mind is something not to waste .You're like I remember a couple teachers in junior high Ernie Pyle in high school Rio grande. Don't believe us look it up yourself if it doesn't sound right

Knowledgeable people who are always friendly and ready to help; especially if you've got kids in school who need that certain book

I am stuck in Colorado unable to join my family in Albuquerque for the holidays due to the pandemic. I've never even been to this bookstore, but they went above and beyond in fulfilling the order for my mom's birthday present in November and were so responsive and communicative. It couldn't have been easier to work with them, and I just placed another order for Christmas presents for my ABQ family because I was so happy with their customer service.

This is an excellent used book store. We have found so many great books here and the staff is always very helpful. It's also perfectly located next to a Flying Star so that you can enjoy a nice place to read your new book with a fresh cup of coffee. This is our favorite book store in ABQ.

It's been a while since I've been here but I saw an author speak here about the dog rescue he created. Very nice place, I'm one of those weird people that still reads actual books. Love the smell. I worry about our culture, we need places like this to gather and share ideas. Hope it stays open forever.

Fabulous curation means this bookstore is a great place to holiday shop. Very knowledgeable staff have lots of recommendations for the readers in your life. I love the extensive collection of holiday cards here too - I got some lovely English countryside cards for my family. Recommended.

Best indy bookstore in town. Supports local authors, sponsors useful events, knows books inside and out.

Love browsing the books, and other items they offer from local artist greeting cards, cute grocery bags, lip balms, lotions, and even candies depends what day you go there's always something interesting.

I went in for one book, left with 3! Great service and selection.

Really like this little bookstore located right on the Plaza in Old Town.

Great selection and price. Local with excellent service and convienent online ordering.

I love to support the local bookstores. But I have gone in multiple times, and the workers have not been helpful. Last time, my wife asked for a child's book she didn't see on the shelves. She wad told that they probably have it in the back, "just not unpacked yet. " no offer to look, noir to leery het know when the boxes were unpacked. She had to ask when they might be available and was told .. sometime this week or next. We ended up going to a larger chain bookstore and getting the book there.

Nice but very busy they did have free gifts wrapping

A pillar of the community. Great people, great events, great suggestions, great special order service.

Independent book seller with an impressive selection of new and used books covering many genres. They also host author events.

Great local bookseller, one of few remaining in Albuquerque. Many local writers featured and many events. Great place for children's books.

Great Independent book store. Book readings and signing frequently. Friendly and helpful staff are welcoming to all.

Not helpful. Rude. Won't be back. Can shop online and not deal with the snarky attitude.

It was a very active bookstore, and was very nice and inviting. I will absolutely come here again.

One of the last remaining independent book stores. Great service from staff.

Such a nice local bookstore for all your reading needs. I've had them order books for me in the past, and I've always received them pretty quick. Check them out and choose local!

Only discovered this book store back in March. Excellent experiences with shopping online a few times during the pandemic. Great selection available and received orders promptly. I wanted to support a local bookstore rather than buy from Amazon and so glad I found this place! I hope to come and visit the store in person in the near future. Keep up the great work guys! :)

Terry had a great display of seasonal books and new books. I loved the staff picks and their book descriptions.

Goids books and very quite but not very good service

Wyatt (I hope I got his name right) is the best! Always has recommendations that are spot on!

In the digital age of the book buying experience, the hometown bookstore has all but disappeared. While they may not have the vast stock of the online retailer or the big name megastores, what they lack in size, they make up for in passion and knowledge. They have always been helpful tracking down books or finding new stories that I might not have otherwise found. They other point of note is the sheer number of Author talks they have at their store and other locations. So go grab a book, check out an author talk and support your local establishments!

Awesome local bookstore! Been around forever. Will order you any book and used too.

Great independent bookstore. You'll find interesting books here as well as cute gift items. They have interesting events here as well. Located in a small plaza next to a very good place to eat.

Awesome bookstore with neat events. It's a perfect little stop off before grabbing a bite next door!!

I must admit, I have not been inside the store and so my five star review doesn t really reflect what may happen once you get in those doors. However, I can attest that the staff and their kind hearts deserve more than five stars. I drove there today, as a new arrival to Albuquerque hoping to procure a few books to keep me company while I am here for the next three months. I am very new to Albuquerque so I googled bookstores in Albuquerque and Bookworks had great reviews. I was very excited to peruse their offerings, but was unfortunately unaware that they are closed for browsing at this time. I knocked on the door and a very nice gentleman answered and informed me of this. He asked if there was anything specific I was looking for and I told him that I was simply looking for some books to read as I just recently moved here. I thanked him for his time and returned to my car, sad and disappointed. To my surprise, as I was getting ready to leave, I saw the gentleman had walked out to my car with a handful of books. He told me that he had brought a few advance readers copies for me to have and said, Welcome to Albuquerque. I m not exaggerating when I say I teared up a bit at the incredibly kind and unexpected gesture. So, please know that you cannot go into the store right now but they do offer online ordering with curbside pickup. Also know that by patroning this bookstore, you are supporting local, genuinely kind people. Thank you for the books and thank you for making my day!

Gave them my book to review so I could sell it there. They never returned my calls.

A great local bookstore, I highly recommend it. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff!

I love it because it's not like a Barnes and Nobles. They are a smaller business, they support local authors, and I can pick many other different books from their selection.

I used to live in ABQ, and I specifically remember this store for its friendly vibe and helpful employees. I spent A LOT of time here.

Great place to talk to somebody that truly knows books! I needed a couple books for my son's birthday and they had some great choices. They even wrapped them up very nicely for me which was a nice touch.

Very cool local bookseller with an eclectic mix of titles

This is a book store from the movie YOU HAVE MAIL. Such a fun book store it have the heart and soul what READING is all about. Love it. The whole area is so enchanting. The time of year to go get a real book. Curl up and enjoy.

Love this Store & the People who work there. So Very Helpful & Kind.

I love this place! One of the best bookstores I've ever seen. Lots new books and magazines. Very friendly atmosphere.

Excellent independent bookstore. Lots of author events. Great childrens section. Free wrapping. Book club meetings. Great staff and service.

Just a very nice store, with papers, cards and invitation offerings. Very nice and helpful staff...

Great book store. Looking forward to seeing the renovation

Fabulous story that reminds me of my childhood. Wonderful collection of books. Excellent place for a gift or just to relax.

Large
selection of BOOKS!!

This is a great local book store with a nicely curated selection of books in a variety of genres.

Love this bookstore! Great curbside pick-up! Can't wait for them to reopen!

This place is a place to avoid. The employees are downright hostile and mean.

Went for a reading by David Sedaris. Place was cramped hot and most had to stand. I left early.

Curbside pickup on prepaid orders. It's scary during the lockdown. Shopping local now so I can shop local later.

Great staff, always willing to order books not in stock, calls when books come in.

Great local bookstore. Host great events. I went to the Rick Riordan event very fun.

Large selection of NM authors, gifts and novelty items. Artsy knee high socks and funny magnets too!

Super local bookstore, very personal and great author presentations.

They are great people, extremely helpful. Enthusiastic, friendly, informative. You can't help but love the place, the books, and the people.

Delightful independent book store. Could spend hours there.

The staff was very helpful and incredibly nice. They have fast turnaround on ordering books and a great selection in store. A great local place.

Great place to browse. Wide variety of books for kids and adults. Friendly and helpful staff. There is much more than just books.

Quaint place with a great collection and friendly staff.

It is a cute bookstore, however it is also not very organized. The sections are kind of just thrown around making it difficult to find anything.

Great story time. A fair amount of unique books. Good customer service. Very impressed.
