Wow! For as many books as they have, its organized. The gals that were there today were helpful and friendly. Welcomed me when I walked in. They were so busy but still attentive. Awesome bookstore - clean too! Thank you. Ill be back!
Lovely used bookstore. Well categorized with sweet and knowledgeable staff. Id be a regular if I was local and will definitely stop here again when in town.
Twice is nice! Cant leave town without making a stop at the Solano store, too! Even found a book that wasnt in stock at the main store. You guys rock. I miss the coffee, though.
This is one of the very best used bookstores Ive been to. They have a great credit program and an excellent selection of books kept fresh by customers from the university and local community. I have to stop in every time I visit LC...and make sure to have extra space in my luggage for my finds!
Prompt, friendly staff, wide selection that is well organized. ❤️
Nice second-hand book store and more.
Their alright, they seem a little too shy talking to customers. But great atmosphere either way.
Coas is the best used book store Ive ever been to. The prices are fair and the staff is friendly. This will forever be my favorite book store!
Unbelievable. Well organized with a friendly staff 👌
Any type of book you can find here also DVDs, cds etc. Books galore they also give you credit for any books you turn in to them.
This is a must stop and shop everytime we come into town. Absolutely love the stores at both locations. Highly recommend!!
Great selection of books at good prices
Shared #1 favorite spots in Las Cruces with Zia Comics. Love the credit system. Staff is great. Nothing I can complain about at all. God bless the founder may he rest in peace, condolences to the family. I hope these stores stay around for the rest of my lifetime and beyond. i love that i have 2 spots i can check for my collection of manga and graphic novels!
Great little book store lots of books and other misc. stuff.
I absolutely love Coas bookstore. Whenever I am in Las Cruces I have to be sure to go to one of their two locations. The locations are a bit different so you should check out both. They seem to specialize in different things. Honestly I could spend hours wandering around here and have. If you are local or go there a lot bring your unwanted books in to trade for store credit, then use the store credit for discounts toward other purchases.
Cmon, its a used book store.Think treasure hunt.
My favourite New Mexican.bookstore; great selections and friendly, caring staff. Everything I need and want plus more.
A great place for books and movies
Staff very helpful and pleasant.
Great place. Variety of books puzzles
Lots of books, great selection
Was looking for a movie Ive been looking for a while but oh well still has lots of good movies and books
It has all kinds of books just Luv getting lost in there with all of them
For people who like used bookstores, this place is a dream. Its smaller than the other location. However, I left with a stack of books during my visit. I think because its smaller and frequented by more college students, the good books are less picked through. So you can find more gems here. The prices arent bad either. Good bookstores like this are hard to find in either bigger cities or smaller towns. This will be a regular stop for me.
Great selection of used books in both stores! Downtown store larger, but both worth the visit. I could spend hours looking through the stacks. They will give you credit on books turned in that is good toward your purchase. I highly recommend!
GREAT customer service!
The staff is extremely friendly and always willing to help. Plus, they have a lot of great books, and hard to find books at really good prices. Not to leave out that the store is extremely well organized. I also love the story credit you receive for the trade ins
I have been to Coas multiple times .The book selection is good, and the prices are fair. The only gripe would be the lack of customer service you get from some employees. I’ve noticed some won’t say hi to specific people. But other than that they have comics, movies, and even board games . The trading credit has changed, and for the better. They also have a good kids book selection. Overall it’s a good place when good employees are present.
Friendly staff. Great finds.
The staff are great, especially when I call looking for a book. Theyre helpful and courteous. They have a great selection and whenever I leave a request for a book they call me promptly when it comes in. Third prices are good and I love being able to trade in books.
Staff know their stuff! COAS on Main St and COAS on Solano Ave work together to help you find what youre looking for. Always friendly too!
Great place for used books
One of the best used book stores I know! Super nice staff and an amazing selection of all kinds of books and other things. Love it!
Coas is awesome, both locations
Great used book store . Any kind of book you can think of and more. They have DVDs, VHS tapes. I havent counted but Im sure that they have a million books in their 2 locations. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff.
Great collection of kids books and friendly, helpful staff.
This is the most awesome bookstore ever. I always find something to take home! Staff is friendly and very helpful!
Had what I needed!
They have a very great selection in all book areas
Coas is the best used bookstore. They have everything! You can return your used books to them for store credit. You can use the credits to get 50% off your purchase. Now, thats a deal!Theyre a large bookstore located on Main St, Downtown, and you can park in their parking lot, in back, on Water Street.They have a second location, also called Coas on Solano.I would recommend that readers check out Coas, you wont be disappointed. Theres always help, so you can find what youre looking for.Linda HitchcockLas Cruces, NM
I absolutely love this bookstore. There are so many books to choose from and a unique selection
This place is awesome! Loads of movies and books ranging all imaginable subjects. The personnel are extremely polite, knowledgeable, and efficient at both answering ones questions and in checking one out. Plus, they offer general credit for movies, games, CDs, and non-paperback books brought in, as well as paperback credit. One can easily spend hours browsing through the aisles.
We always find interesting things when we come here... The staff is friendly and helpful... And... The AC is cold... Great way to spend a few hours out of the heat
The staff is so friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed enjoy going in there.
I asked for Chicana/o authors and nothing.
I was browsing at the coas on solano today and the staff was really friendly. Not only that but they were really willing to help my find what I was looking for. Everyone is really nice and the manager is very approachable. You don’t always find that in stores nowadays. I loved it and will go there more from here on out. The customer service is amazing. I definitely recommend.
This place is great! Plenty of friendly help available. I wish the rest of the big box stores had this kind of atentive help.
The best book store in Las Cruces! No contest. The staff is always incredibly helpful and I almost always find what Im looking for.
This bookstore had the book that I was looking for and had a great selection of books. I will recommend this bookstore to everyone. They have great employees that are helpful.
I love this place! I love the smell of books and this store has such a variety. From required reading to music, and all at a great price!
Has an incredible selection of books, movies and music. You can set up an account so you can drop of any of these items that you do not use, and if you do not have time or find something that interests you it is on credit so you can return at a later time. I have found many books that have been hard to find even with an online search. Staff is always friendly and when i have been unable to find the book I was looking for, they would watch for the book and give me a call when it would come in.
This was the first time Ive been to this store. Although it Id much smaller that the original store, it is just as well organized
Books, books, books. A huge selection and a helpful staff. They also have DVDs and other media.They also have $1.00 and 50 cent bargain bins.
Decent enough pricing, (I did feel the need to haggle the price on one book), they have a great selection of books they offer. The store is well organized. Its not just books they offer but DVD, Blu Ray and even VHS. They have Vinyl records and CDs.
The staff was really helpful on finding the book I was looking for.
Well kept, great selection, helpful staff, and good prices. For anyone who seems to buy more books than they read, this is a definately a place for you!
Found all the books I needed and at great prices! Also found VHS movies and DVDs that were great prices also! Trade in for credit here is awesome!!
GREAT BOOKSTORE. People working there were very friendly and extremely helpful. I found books in there I was looking for for years!!!
Their credit system has ruined media buying for me. These are the best used book stores I ever been to. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Really enjoy this used book store. It has a large selection and great prices.
Nice environment and tons of books at a reasonable price!!! Ive gone to Coast for years and Ive always loved it!!
I could easily spend the whole day here. If you love books, there is no better place.
The books are good priced and if you have extra you dont need you can take them there get credit to use towards a new purchase. Also the employees are always curtious and very helpful.
If you need a book this is the place to go. They have two locations and there is always something new showing up. Very well cataloged selection of books at very reasonable prices
This is one of two locations for this local outlet. There are thousands of used books stocked in this store. Hard cover, paperback and DVDs are available. The staff is polite, but never has any employee been exceptionally welcoming to me.Coas has an interesting pricing method which I must note. If you find a book that you wish to purchase be sure to check the original cover price and divide that number by two. That is your pre-tax price. (I have no information pertaining to DVD/CD pricing or method[s].) Also, I must share an anecdote here that every should be aware of.I wanted Atlas Shrugged. Coas had this title- many copies of it from different printings. The prices were different depending on which printing I chose. Older printings are less expensive, as a rule, than more recent ones.Another point concerning purchases at Coas is their credit or trade policy. The exact mechanics are unknown to me; I havent participated in the policy; I have only word of mouth knowledge. Basically it involves one bringing in their books they wish and an account is set up wherein the account balance can be used against any purchases made up to the full dollar amount in ones account.Finally, random factors play a large part in ones book quest. I have found books I didnt have on that trips list and not found a title for which I did shop.
The staff is so helpful. Wonderful treasure trove of books for all ages. Prices are more than fair.
Very nice collection of books from young children to highly technical books. Worthy of visiting. Books are not listed anywhere. You need to go to the store to see what they have.
GOOD SERVICE AND HAS FUN BOOKS
Great place for books that are hard to find. Excellent staff.
Great place to go buy books and to get a really great service
We love bringing the kids to pick out their books.
Wish I had more time to look around
Great used bookstore. Employees here are very helpful. Smaller than the other location, but not that small at all. You could spend hours here. A little disorganized toward the front of the store.
Used books in generally great shape. Excellent staff. Bring in old books and turn in for store credit. Highly recommended.
The best place ever! You can find almost any type of book there! I have found so many interesting books that can actually be difficult to hunt down and give great deals!
Great book store for new and used alike. Helpful staff. Come here first for your book needs.
They have movies and odd man out video games they have so many books you are sure to find somthing in history or vintage novels. Oh and great cheap prices too. The COAS bookstore on solano actually has new books and a better selection of movies do if your a book lover check it out
I traded in a few new books and received credits for them. I buy from them, read and return for credits as well. Huge selection, two great locations and the staff is excellent.
Great place to find inexpensive used books and even take our old novels in for in store credit
A1 business. Support it.
Best book store ever. My favorite for more than 20 years.
Great customer service and a great place to get books

Fantastic store. The range of books are phenomenal!
As a former employee, I rate the staff 5/5 as helpful, courteous and knowledge. Best place in town for books, movies and more!!!
Variety of books (hardback, paper, audio), CDs, DVDs all reasonably priced. Helpful staff.
Always a relaxing pleasure. Great variety of books in both locations.

I always love going here, whether its to buy or just look at the books.
