C Daquin WOW! Stopped in on the way back from El Paso/Marfa visiting family & so glad we did. A LGBTQi+ friendly bookstore run and owned by women? I wish we had anything near as good in San Antonio. This bookstore is as good as any Ive been in (and were both pretty well traveled) you can tell there is true devotion to the craft of being a bookstore by whomever runs this. A lovely experience, we spent ages in here, and bought a ton of pre-Xmas presents. Its tempting - thats the word - and friendly - which is always so important. Theres some great sections, the second-hand books, free books, locals section, local history section, rare imprints, recommendations, poetry, feminism - it just goes on. I bought so many things having not seen them in bookstores as far flung as London, Provence, NYC. This is a real gem and if youre in Alpine or just passing through, be sure to pay them a visit, you wont be disappointed if you are a reader, a fan of books or just wanting to spend an hour looking at everything. Truly a credit to Alpine and the surrounding areas.
