When you picture visiting New Mexico, you probably envision white desert sand, a plethora of cacti, and endless sunny days. But New Mexico has all kinds of hidden gems for visitors and locals alike to unearth. One of our favorite spots in the entire state? Under Charlie’s Covers, a massive used bookstore in Bernalillo.

The owner inherited 18,000 books from her father, Charlie, and decided to start a bookstore with her thousands of books. Now, there are about 40,000 books offered at Under Charlie’s Covers, a book-lover’s dream. The 3,000-square-foot space is absolutely packed with books, so you’ll be able to find literary offerings both rare and popular – and all at a great price. Fiction, non-fiction, memoirs, history books, cookbooks, travel guides: it’s all here in one of New Mexico’s finest spots.

Under Charlie's Covers is rightfully raved about and considered one of the best bookstores in New Mexico.
