I visited Maria's while visiting Durango. The selection is great. A really wide array of books that remains well curated with excellent staff selections. The staff was also lovely and happy to chat about books and upcoming events. I could've stayed for hours, just browsing and enjoying the atmosphere. I left with 4 books, some postcards and stickers, a sticker from their Maria's Literary Foundation, and a contented bookish feeling!

Wow wow wow!! This is such a lovely little shop. This is such a cozy bookshop they have so much here and the employees are very friendly and knowledgeable! When I was here I picked up a copy of Ellen Meloy's and she has become one of my favorite Authors! I definitely recommend stopping by if your in Durango 🤠

While Marie’s does have some what of a charming character, I’m pretty much done going there to shop for books. Their selection leaves a lot to be desired. I’m not expecting the Barnes and Noble experience, but the local second hand stores have a lot more to offer.
