When you think of the largest independent bookstore in New Mexico, you likely think of rows and rows of books, reading tables, and friendly staff. What you probably don’t think of is the view surrounding the bookstore. COAS Books can be found at 317 North Main Street in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and the view from the outside of the store may be more breathtaking than the one inside the store.
The Organ Mountains rise from the landscape, towering over Las Cruces and COAS Books. The view is absolutely breathtaking, and you will want to spend all day browsing these shelves.
In addition to COAS Books' expansive selection of new and used books, COAS Books also carries regional and out-of-print books, CDs, Vinyl, audio books, and games! No matter what you are looking for, you can likely find it at COAS Books.
COAS Books has been a part of Las Cruces, New Mexico since archaeologist Pat Beckett started a publishing company called COAS Publishing in 1973. Since that time, COAS Books has expanded beyond archeology and provides books for the entire Las Cruces community.
COAS Books also gives out trade credits for their books. If you have stacks of books on your shelves, bring them over to COAS for a discount on your new choices! Now that's a good deal!
Beyond just selling books, COAS Books also hosts book signings with local writers and artists.
Being a local New Mexico Bookstore, COAS Books also has a large section of New Mexico-specific reads ranging from New Mexico History to New Mexico Cuisine.
