Nestled on Saint Michaels Drive, Cornerstone is where the written word meets the spirit of the high desert — a sanctuary for curious minds and thoughtful gifts.
Local & Loved
Santa Fe institution
Cornerstone Books & Gifts was born from a simple conviction: that the best discoveries happen when someone thoughtful curates the selection for you. On Saint Michaels Drive, we've built a space where every shelf tells a story and every gift is chosen with intention.
Whether you're hunting for a rare first edition, searching for the perfect gift for someone who has everything, or simply looking for a quiet corner to browse — you'll find it here. Our shelves reflect the soul of Santa Fe: artistic, adventurous, and deeply rooted in community.
Carefully
Curated
Every title hand-picked
Locally
Sourced
Supporting regional makers
From bestsellers to hidden gems, from Southwest artistry to timeless classics — our shelves are arranged to surprise and delight.
Fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and regional titles — each one chosen for its voice and craft.
From stationery to home goods, every item is selected for quality and character.
Works by local artists and makers — postcards, prints, pottery, and pieces with a story.
No algorithm here — every book on our shelves has been considered, recommended, and placed with care.
We support local authors, host readings, and celebrate the creative spirit that makes Santa Fe unique.
Can't find it? We'll track it down. Special orders are our specialty — just ask at the counter.
Every purchase can be beautifully wrapped — because the presentation matters as much as the present.
There's a particular kind of magic in a bookstore that knows its community. Cornerstone isn't just a shop — it's the kind of place where you leave with exactly what you needed, even if you didn't know it yet.
A Santa Fe Regular
We're on Saint Michaels Drive, just off the main drag — easy to find, hard to forget. Stop by anytime, or reach out ahead of time.
