I drive by Guidon Books fairly often and finally had time to stop in. So glad I did! Went in with a really obscure interest in copper mining and race/class relations in SE Arizona and walked out satiated with an equally obscure book. Had a great conversation with the owner about her shop and AZ history. Highly recommend!

lol. I suppose we should be grateful. my wife accidentally parked in this bookstore’s parking lot after they were already long-closed for the night, and when she came back to the car, there was a note on an envelope on her windshield: «we should have towed you but we chose not to. please put $ 5 in this envelope and drop it in the mailslot at the bookstore.» Pretty crafty way to make a few extra bucks. I wonder. does the owner sleep in the parking lot? Thank you for the no-tow, but seriously, you’d build better karma by dropping the envelope schtick.

Phoenix is fortunate to have several great independent book stores, but at the top of my list is Guidon Books! Family owned for over 30 years, Guidon Books has the most extensive selection of books about western history I have ever come across. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and went out of their way to help me! The book store itself has everything you would want to read. They have books about outlaws, buffalo soldiers and women of the West. Plus books about great leaders like Lincoln, Custer and Sitting Bull. Their civil war section is one of the most extensive I have ever seen. No greater gift then buying a book that someone can enjoy for a life time!
