Our family has certain kinds of places we visit anytime we go on vacation, and a used bookstore is at the top of the list!
On a recent trip that took us to Canyon, TX and Taos, NM, we kept the tradition going strong! We visited Burrowing Owl books, which is located in a historical bank building, in Canyon, and Great Used Books and op. cit. books in Taos.
We meandered through the stores, found some great deals on used books and enjoyed excellent local flavor!
A visit to the Desert View Watchtower on the eastern portion of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. Constructed in the 1930s, it offers magnificent canyon views and a tie to the Native American history of the Canyon.
I was visiting a friend, and this was the view from their house. I could understand why they built their house facing this direction. I was taken by the beauty!

I love visiting a GOOD used bookstore! I’ve been rather disappointed in recent years at how chaotic and poorly organized many of them have become. Piles and piles of books without categorization or order is a disappointing thing to find. These two certainly seem worth going out of the way to see. Thanks for bringing them to our attention.
My wife and I would always go to the local zoo on our vacations. However, we both loved hitting old bookstores but as we got older, we only browsed the large print section.
