The Santa Fe New Mexican visited Garcia Street Books, which was bought two and a half years ago by Rick Palmer and Adam Gates, who "say they can compete in the era of Amazon because voracious readers like being in a store surrounded by titles they might not notice or explore online," the paper wrote.
Another important edge for the store is knowing customers' interests. The paper continued: "Collectively, they say, they can figure out what will sell in Santa Fe because they understand the appetites of the reading public."
Popular books at Garcia Street Books include art and interior design titles, cookbooks, books about the region and history and biography.
