Bookstores

• 

  Gallina de Guinea

  Often, customers return to share something they made from the last book they borrowed: cookies, a slice of cake, or even sourdough bread. It's deeply moving; when books come alive and create connections, our daily lives take on a little more meaning.

• 

  Inkultur

  I wanted to combine two of my passions: enjoying something delicious, different, and well-made while reading or listening to music. I've always felt a special connection with print media and with "informal" reading —the kind you enjoy without screens and without rushing.

  The grammar monkey

  In the book world, it's a common saying that you'll never have the book a customer asks for. Our bookstore is more about being captivated by the opportunity presented by a book that happens to occupy a certain space.

• 

  The last meeting

  Bookstores have basic routines: sweeping, taking out the trash, organizing books, etc. One of the most exciting moments happens when books arrive that need to be cataloged, appraised, or even researched. The world of used books is a map without end.

  Submarine

  With Mariana Enríquez, we would perform an invocation with several initiated magicians, followed by a horror reading. With Camila Sosa, a session with mezcal and boleros about unrequited love, followed by a performance of her latest thesis novel about domestication.

• 

  Ú-topical

  We expanded our ideas, our activities, our commitment to the world of books, to our community, to the causes we consider just. We broadened our way of thinking and seeing the world of books in which we were moving.

• 

  Clarice

  What always guides us is the certainty that within the chaos that this great city can be, there are always those who seek an oasis of tranquility. And our intention is that they find it at Clarice.

  The hand of Cervantes

  We learned, in part, from Max Ramos, one of Mexico's most important booksellers, to respect and dignify the bookselling profession. We consider it a profession with a beautiful tradition, one that has also faced the challenges of modern life.

• 

  The Flooded House

  The bookstore was born from the idea of ​​bringing rare, unique, collectible, and hard-to-find books to readers from different parts of the world. From the beginning, we sought to offer a different perspective on books, one that fosters a sense of discovery. 

• 

  The Harvest

  We believe in a horizontal, non-hierarchical, cooperative, and collaborative form of work organization. We believe in free culture, promoting freedom of access, use, and distribution of any cultural content. We believe in self-management, autonomy, and independence from the state and large corporations.

• 

  La Fiera

  When someone comes to the bookstore looking for something special, it's like starting a treasure hunt or embarking on a shared journey between us and the customer. However, the most rewarding part happens when they return and tell us how much they enjoyed the book, and that's when the treasure hunt begins again.

  The thousand and one books

  I thought about the creativity required to set up a bookstore: the space design, the layout, and, of course, the selection. Having an independent bookstore is also a way to express yourself.
