I loved finding this new bookstore in the MSA Annex! It has a wide selection of new and used books, including a special focus on borderlands and local interest. Lots of great gift items like soaps, candles from Good & Well Supply company, children’s toys, and even vinyl records. I found a tear-off 2026 calendar designed by Karel Martens in Holland, with each day a bold graphic of the day’s number. Put this on your list of local Tucson businesses to support!
Stopped in here several months ago--very interesting and thoughtful selection of books in a beautifully appointed store. I look forward to returning next time I'm in Tucson!
A gem of a bookstore. They have LPs and a mix of excellent-condition, curated books! It's a great selection of local & SW titles, art books, vintage and MUCH More (even children's books). Thankful I was there for a book reading from an amazing author. Can't wait to explore again during my next visit to Tucson. Thank you!
I wandered upon Desierto Books when checking out the MSA Annex. They are super clean and have a simple layout. Their vinyl selection and books are really well priced and have a wide selection. Books are primarily non-fiction, but there is a wide range for everyone with a small section for children’s books. The owners are extremely kind and cordial, offering to help but still allowing for browsing. They even offered to allow our dog inside the store!

Curated books and vinyl for the Tucson community, celebrating borderlands culture and local art.
