Reviews
Cool book store with a wide variety of books and other knickknacks. I would have giving it a 5 star rating if it wasn’t for the unfriendly staff. Been here several times, every time I feel unwelcome and get a very judgmental vibe as soon as I walk in. Staff would rather talk amongst themselves or stare at the computer, and shop online, then welcome in or help customers. When I went up to pay it felt like I was bothering them and taking up their time. I didn’t even get a “Thank you for coming in” or something along the line. Every other shop I visited today for holiday shopping I was welcomed by a warm greeting and, even if I didn’t purchase something, got thanked for stopping by. It makes one feel appreciated and valued as a patron. If I wanted to be treated poorly as a customer I would just shop for things on Amazon. Won’t be shopping at this book store ever again.
One of the best spots on 4th Ave and in all of Tucson. I try to support them as much as I can when I want to buy a new book - I’ve called and ordered several new books and cookbooks with Antigone. A great place for planners and cards too.
This is such a cool bookshop, and it's not just for the awesome books.. they have a lot of cool stickers for kids, fun notebooks, super cute wallets, calendars and a lot of great gift ideas! It's great to just browse and you'll come away with some pretty cool swag... everytime you're on 4th Ave., make a point to stop by this place, it's a place to break away from the heat and get something awesome...
Great book store. Recently picked up Kurt Beals' new translation of Steppenwolf. Also got a graphic novel version of a Leonard Cohen biography here. My daughter loves it too we go every month.
Antigone is my go-to place for cards and gifts for people outside Tucson. They have a great selection of unique souvenirs. There is a parking lot next door for Antigone only, but it can get full very quickly. It's a small bookstore, but there are lots of different kinds of books. If you can't find what you are looking for, I'm sure the friendly staff will order it for you. Support small bookstores.
I love this bookstore and all it's other non-book items. It's hard for me to not browse for hours or buy a book here. The selection is pretty good for it being a small business and they also carry a lot of local artists and authors. The atmosphere is nice and the employees are kind. It's hard for me not to come at least once a month. If it wasn't for Antigone, I don't think I'd ever get back into reading.
Wonderful independent book store! Nice selection of children's books including Arizona/southwest and seasonal
Very awesome boom store. A great place to get stickers and lots of cool stuff. Everyone who works here is so nice. Definitely recommend.
I called ahead to ask for a recent release and the had it and held it until I arrived to pick it up. Personal and attentive service are the hallmarks of this business and that speaks volumes in this day and age.
