Anticus

The Poisoned Pen

The Poisoned Pen is an independent bookstore focusing on fiction (but offering so much more) is a fabulous place to spend a few hours looking for your next favorite book. This cozy bookstore was founded in 1989 and is still going strong; it’s a great place to find literature of the American Southwest.

Changing Hands
