With the last laughs and scares of October, winter and its chill have fallen across the Rio Grande Valley. Blankets, tamales, hot chocolate, and the holidays are around the corner. Page One is here to welcome you in from the cold, greeting you with the beautiful, crisp smell of books and inviting you to walk around the shelves and run your fingers along the spines. Whether you're looking for yourself or a loved one, our staff loves to offer recommendations and we encourage browsing. You may discover something you didn't even know you wanted!
Page 1 Books is more than just a unique bookstore: it's a community. With our knowledgeable booksellers, collection of resident authors, and loyal locals, we have built a fellowship of readers, writers, and enthusiasts. We hope you'll stop by soon and discover what our local, Independent bookstore has in store for you.
"October extinguished itself in a rush of howling winds
and driving rain and November arrived, cold as frozen
iron, with hard frosts every morning and icy drafts
that bit at exposed hands and faces."
- J.K. Rowling,
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
