If you love to read and like the feel of an actual book in your hand, you'll love Collected Works Bookstore & Coffeehouse, Santa Fe's largest independent bookseller. Browsers will find a wide variety of both fiction and non-fiction titles for adults, young adults and children. They also have a good selection of books on New Mexico, the Southwest and Native American topics, area guidebooks and maps. In addition, they hold over 300 events a year including author readings and signings featuring both nationally-known and local writers. Their monthly open mic event allows unpublished folks to read their work. There are also opening receptions for artists whose work is displayed in the shop and the occasional acoustic music performance. The coffeehouse, introduced in 2009 when they moved from their original digs on San Francisco Street ,is a great place to rest while enjoying a drink of snack.

Best Shopping: "On a cold winter day, grab a book, order hot drink and snack and curl up by the wood-burning fireplace and read. The welcoming ambiance is a far cry from the wintry weather outside the door."

Recommended as Best Shopping Because: Every traveling reader who still loves the feel of a book in their hand needs to know where to buy the next one while here.
