 The definitive rattlesnake museum and gift shop |
202 San Felipe Northwest Suite A Albuquerque, NM 87104 United States +1 505 242 6569 http://www.rattlesnakes.com |
When you walk through the doors of this Old Town museum and shop, you may find yourself warily glancing behind the door. But there are no snakes slithering about the store, their crawl space is in the back room where you will find the most complete collection of live rattlesnake species in the world. Once you have toured the museum, return to the gift shop where rattlesnake memorabilia is the hiss. Just try and get through the front door without buying a Rattlesnake Museum logo T-shirt.

Good reading and better coffee |
521 Central Ave NW Albuquerque, NM 87102 United States +1 505 243 4492 |
It is a good thing that size does not determine success, because if it did, this wonderful little store would not survive the downtown crowds. If you are looking for a book with which to pass some leisure time, you can certainly find one here. Although the store is small, the inventory is not. You can find used titles from every genre. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee, espresso, and cappuccino permeates the air and you can enjoy a cup with your book. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Uncommon scents |
208 San Felipe Northwest Albuquerque, NM 87104 United States +1 505 243 0859 http://www.desertperfumes.com |
There is a great deal more for sale than sweet-smelling potions in this narrow, but well-stocked, shop, which is connected to the Hacienda Restaurant on the Old Town Plaza. There are books, for example, hundreds of them, and each one having to do with the history, geography and/or people of the Southwest. There is also a wide selection of silver and turquoise jewelry, as well as nativity sets, figurines, Native pottery, leather goods, and stained glass. Out of film? This store carries a wide variety of sizes and speeds. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A ton of books |
113 Cornell SE Albuquerque, NM 87106 United States +1 505 232 9090 |
The narrow aisles and hodgepodge stacks of used books in this store may seem cluttered but if you are looking for a particular title, author or subject, the owner can walk you straight to it. The store has been in the same location across from the University of New Mexico for over 30 years and regular customers bring in boxes of books to trade for others. The shop has acquired hundreds of collectors' books and some valuable antiques. Review © 2007, Wcities |
