Book Gallery

Found this in a yelp post. Fantabulous book store that will exceed your used book expectations. When I first walked in, they had just received about 15 paperback copies in absolutely wonderful condition of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Pellucidar series, Tarzan & many others. I qrabbed about 8 of those & worked my way through the store. Just a great place to look & marvel at the many books available & the fantastic condition they are in.

A perfect place to browse and get lost among a huge collection of beautiful and rare books, magazines and artifacts. Wonderful atmosphere with classical and cinematic soundtracks playing perfectly in the background. Don't miss a chance to visit this gem of a bookshop.

📚 📜 One of the larger high quality used bookstore I've been to. Kind employees. The owner loves his craft and took his time to tell me book histories, show me all around the store, and had very pleasant conversations about everything I was interested in. Incredibly well organized, even with many boxes of books still waiting to hit shelves. I lucked in to some amazing books.nnHighlight of the day was showing me an extremely rare first edition of Dune. Astounding!nnI can't wait till my next Phoenix visit. 🏜️

Book Gallery is a not so secret spot that feels like a well-kept secret. It's a secondhand book store that is bulging at every corner with rare, collectible, and some current titles stacked and stuffed into aisles of tall wood bookshelves.nnThere were boxes filled with books not shelved, rows and rows of Arizona Highway magazine, and tall stacks of leather bound National Geographic. You could spend hours finding something you were never looking for.nnIt feels like walking through someone's attic stuffed with years of collecting, and yet at the same time, you get the sense that the owner knows exactly where everything is. It's quiet and worn and to any book lover it's the most beautiful sight…and smell.

Book Gallery is a hidden gem of a bookstore. I say hidden because we were two of maybe five customers in the giant store on a Wednesday morning. Though I didn't spot any recently published books, there were endless shelves and countless titles. Book Gallery sells rare and fine books (per their business card), spanning every genre and category one could imagine. Mike, the owner, spent all the time we were in-store taking business calls, cataloging books, and chatting with a customer about their recent finds. He gave off a sort of wise wizard vibe, very fitting for the owner of a rare books bookstore.nnI recommend setting aside at least an hour or two to browse, it was more of a museum experience for me. I was grateful for some seating to peruse several treasures I came across, shooting me back in time to when the texts were published.
