Adorable little bookstore and the owner and other employee were both lovely and helpful with good recommendations. I’d been looking for an English bookstore for awhile and was so lucky to find this place. The store is small but the selection is still good, and they have a nice selection of stationary as well. The owner is nice to chat with and it’s nice to be surrounded by people speaking English after traveling for awhile. I mentioned I was going to Belize soon and she gave me a Belizean $2 bill that someone else had left behind which was a sweet gesture. Very happy with the books I purchased and would for sure go back if I’m in Merida again.

This store is not just a store, its a statement. Aside from a cozy and tastefully designed interior with plenty of books and items to browse through, it is imbued by its owners inspirational personality and her courage to follow her dreams. In a time of big box-stores and digital media, this store sets an impulse in reminding us of what communities are (or used to be) made of. It is the perfect fit for this city and well worth visiting to maybe acquire something to read that will remind you how turning from page to page feels like. ......mind you I had to purchase the glasses first to be able to read that page, yes you can do that here too.

Dentro de la Plaza Carmesí (además del Volta Café) amé la tienda "Between the lines": Fabulosa. Se nota que cada cosa que ahí se vende, fue amorosa y cuidadosamente seleccionada. ️‍LGBTIQ Culture, diversidad, inclusión y objetos interesantes, libros, juegos didácticos y de diseño. Colecciones de postales. La atención de Juanita Stein, inigualable. Me encantó. Vayan. Ojalá más lugares en Mérida fueran así.

  • Daniel Bowie

Fantastic little shop, owned and run by a lovely, helpful woman - could have hung around all day & chatted. Be sure to stop by, sells all manner of stationary & cards in addition to books. More expensive than new books in England, but she explains the multiple import & delivery fees she’s saddled with as a small business owner. Fully recommend stopping in!

  • Johan Olson

Lovely staff and a nice selection of some real classics and newer rising authors. All books are in English, which is perfect for travellers from abroad. Accept both cash and credit cards. Don't forget to bring your old books to donate (they happily take in books to find new owners) if you don't want to carry them during your travels.

  • Tam Pham

A beautiful bookstore with high-quality selection of items. Juanita was very friendly to me and my friends. She gave us recommendations and general pointers to life in Mexico/Merida. I bought a bunch of beautiful postcards here as well as a new novel from a famous Mexican author. Will be back here again :)

  • Krysteen Lomonaco

More than a book store for sure! Hand made crafted items. Owner operated, and of course that’s important to me. Found a new author I’m going to look into. Bought a small hand painted sketchbook for my trip. And the most adorable cat tarot deck. Tourist friendly, fluent English, knowledgeable.

  • Nicolas Suarez

What a beautiful tribute to the written word. I was able to find the perfect housewarming gift. The gracious and welcoming owner provided the insights needed to help my selection process. Beautifully displayed, excellent selections and well curated mix of product. Thank you and bavo!

  • Cassie

If you're looking for English books in Mérida, this is the spot you need. If you're looking for a book shop run by a truly knowledgeable woman who cares passionately about literature, her store and Mérida, this is, without a doubt the place to be. Highly recommended.

  • Fiftyseven Chevy

Great English bookstore in Merida. I had a very interesting, informative, and delightful conversation with the owner, Juanita. She recommended a great book on the challenges that a free press faces in MX "Surviving Mexico", and it is outstanding.

  • Cat Laracuente

What a lovely store. Books books and more books. But that's not all! Coasters with trivia, puzzles, adult games, gift bags, lanyards for glasses, masks for Carnival, many lovely things that I haven't seen anywhere else.
