Very awesome boom store. A great place to get stickers and lots of cool stuff. Everyone who works here is so nice. Definitely recommend.

Definitely a place old love to continue to go to. Wonderful books and such. Tons of nostalgic feelings

Ive shopped here for years but recently found out theyre just fine ordering transphobic books for clients despite the fact that they pretend to be an LGBT-friendly space. Im really disgusted and will never come back. Dont pretend to be something youre not, especially involving minorities that are facing such difficulty in life already- youre contributing by spreading hate. Do better.

Seriously?? These young employees chose the masking of their faces?? What an unpleasant experience..WAKE UP!! THIS IS AMERICA!! FIGHT YOUNG PEOPLE!! The masks dehumanizing and cause enhanced respiratory infections!Miriam Ellison 30 years in alternative medicine.

Best bookstore in Tucson, great walk-in finds and quick ordering of titles they dont have. Also, great selection of cards!

Ordered a book online and they were super nice when I picked it up :) the process was easy peezy and quick. They have limited capacity due to the pandemic and are allowing in-store shopping now, but you need to check in at the door before just going in. I was able to be helped without having to go in, its just a little awkward because the sidewalk is busy and of course more customers are also walking up😅

Antigones has been a iconic locally owned business for decades. Its a go to for gifts and gift certificates. Its such a joy to go and browse for an hour or so. Youll definitely find something that speaks to you: books, journals, calendars, jewelry, stickers, prayer flags, t-shirts,... You name it! I love Antigones.

Fun little adult hide out. Outdoor dining and drinks among cool murals (big one by Pagac) plus misters. I really recommend getting a shot of whiskey added to the house made strawberry soda at the bar as you walk in. Spice box is great too for Indian food (though if you really like spice tell them as their hot is more medium). Super friendly and can make you a vegan option if you ask.

Amazing local book store. Super fun to browse and has a great selection of a wide range of books. I got a few children’s books about Arizona and it’s native wildlife, the second book in a fiction series, and a fun notebook!

This bookstore is a treasure. I cant say much more than this without sounding hyperbolic. The employees are all super knowledgeable. The times I have gone in looking for a recommendation, special order, or some other guidance I have always had an positive experience.

Local gem. Staff book reviews are so nice and helpful - puts a personal touch on your shopping and helps you consider new books. Also bought a $5.95 wind chime made in India for my Mom for Mothers Day, so random & wonderful. Loved the cards. But lets be honest, I loved everything about this place.

Beautiful selection of books for your mind and heart. I love their gift selection as well. Lovely people that own the store as well.

A rarity these days; an independent book store that supports the community and in turn is supported by a city that appreciates that personal touch. Besides books, Antigone carries clothing, cards, journals, souvenirs of all kinds and myriad other things I cant think of right now. A great place to browse, youll surely find something or somethings to catch your interest and make you glad you stopped by.

A fantastic selection of books by notable authors and local authors too. Also lots of great gifts here like cards and bric a brac.

I love purchasing from Antigone! Even if they dont have the book on hand, ordering online and picking up in store is so easy. The team always keeps me in the loop about my order so that I can get the books Im looking for while also supporting my local community.

Tried to shop here, but the owner can’t seem to follow the science. Store requires masks and limits access time in the store. If I knew what I wanted I would just get it on Amazon. Don’t waste your time.

Good if you’re looking for woke books or self help… no classics or informative books, for that I’d go to Book Stop across the street

Best bumper stickers that I could find anywhere and Im from San Diego you have to check these out especially if youre a liberal

I walked in because I saw the word book and I couldnt help myself but to walk out with a book that I probably didnt need considering my ever-growing to read pile. The staff were very friendly and everyone was required to wear a mask. I will be going again because their book selection has me hooked.

Local art and authors are featured. They are requiring sign-in at the door during COVID.

Sad to see they choose to enforce a false narrative and require masks for everyone. Sorry they will not be receiving my money! Follow science not feelings! If people choose not to be vaccinated then wear a mask but dont punish everyone for those whom are foolish!

The employees are respectful, professional, courteous and the food is great. Had a nice experience.

Love this place. In addition to a well curated collection of books and gifts for sale, their card selection is phenomenal. I no longer live in Tucson but visit annually. Antigones is a must visit for me. I soak in the ambience, peruse their books and gifts and stock up on cards to send to those I love.

One of the best bookstores Ive been to in the world!!

Hands down, our favorite bookstore in Tucson! So glad they have survived the pandemic!! The staff is super friendly and helpful, the books are GREAT! AND, they have Blue Q socks!!! 🥰

Great selection of books. Staff very helpful

Ive passed by this bookstore many times and today I decided to stop in. So worth it! Its really charming, full of books and fun little gifts.

We love this book store. We visit every time we are in Tucson. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

Great bookstore cautiously reopening with a half hour browsing limit.

Hours feel very limited 😭 but cute little shop with cool books and other stuff that make great presents!

Antigone Books is a Tucson landmark and a mainstay of Tucsons historic 4th Avenue. It has a funky, eclectic vibe and features great books for a diverse audience. They also have an excellent selection of childrens books and a sweet little reading nook for kids.In addition to being a wonderful place to discover new great reads, Antigone also boasts a wide array of interesting and one-of-a-kind gifts, cards, and other novelties. They also consistently sell Tibetan prayer flags.Some recommendations for shoppers at Antigone Books - calendars, journals, finger puppets, snarky tinned candy, dolls based on historical figures, and some great ideas for gifts for crazy cat ladies.If you have friends or family who are close minded and homophobic, I am confident that you will be able to source a book from Antigone Books that might be able to truly offend their Christian sensibilities. Similarly, if you have some overly aggressive macho types who believe in the servitude and subservience of women, there are some books that might really push them over the edge.I would be bereft if Antigone shut down. Please support your local bookstore and shop local!

If youre looking to order books or just shopping for certain kind of book, this is the place. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Great place to get your read on.

I liked the selection of coloring books they have. Its a very nice store with friendly and helpful staff!

Its a nice place and they have a cute cat that wonders around. However the selection is limited to very narrow viewpoints of the world. I expect a bookstore to carry a wide range of points of view, but rather theyll only carry books that support their narrow political viewpoint. When I was there, there were plenty of books pushing socialism, and carry authors such as Tom Piketty, Kendi, Robin DeAngelo, but not a single book I found by Milton Friedman or Thomas Sowell or any of the other free market thinkers. I guess if you align with them politically, its definitely a cool place to go, but they shouldnt call themselves a bookstore, they should be honest about what their store is: propaganda.

This is a fantastic local bookstore. They have lots of books by local authors. I was impressed by the volume of childrens books and the local flair. A lot of cool gifty-things as well and funky stickers. The staff was so nice and helpful. I will be back!

Favorite local bookstore. Staff is always helpful. I always find fun gifts. They have great journals. Plan on spending some time because there is so much to browse through. I have discovered some great authors here.

This is based on my previous experience, they had a waiting sign to see the associate, so I walked down the street to visit with another store. Maybe I can get inside on my next Tucson visit.

This is by far one of the most unique little niches of Tucson. I absolutely admire the collection of books and how specific books are chosen at the forefront of the store. They also have tons of cute little knickknacks that give this store a special touch.

Cozy book store and I loved visiting this place! Visit is now limited and you can spend up to 30 min. with your name being registered.

Great and knowledgeable staff, great gift ideas and great location for local shopping, and I am not a local. Amazing day

Great book shop. Cool gifts and very helpful staff.

My name is Roger Browning and I am a writer. I search out book stores in my travels, because thats just my love. My son is serving in the Air Force there and on my visit, I found this store. It was just before Christmas, in a time precovid. I loved it. I was able to rummage through titles, while my wife searched through books and stocking stuffers for the grandkids. She even found socks I believe. Anyway, back to the books. Such a selection and I even walked away with a title to add to my ever expanding library. The worker there at the time so nice and was very helpful in my search. Visit this beautiful corner store and be sure to support your independent owner. They need you now more than ever and as much as you need them. My name is Roger Browning and my new novel is about a troubled modern ranching family in Texas. A story of inheritance and raising gone terribly wrong and its title for your searching is The Reckoning of Rance, now out on Amazon. I hope you find it and I hope its one you will enjoy.

An excellent independent bookstore which has managed to survive.

Thats my new joint...on the hip side f town so not always the easiest to get in and out of but the staff are dope...

Antigones has always been the greatest.

Long lasting mom & pop bookstore that offers an amazing selection of titles. I bought four books this visit and will certainly return for more.

Good vibe. Interesting selection. Friendly staff. Worth checking out unless you only like used books.

Great little local book store

Happy place, great selection of books and gifts. Friendly, knowledgeable staff.

My husband and I are regulars at this independent bookstore. Kind, efficient staff. Always go the extra step to help.

Love this bookstore. Excellent stop for a wide selection of materials. The staff are always giving me great reccomedations, which I find especially helpful when shopping for gifts! Theyll even wrap gifts for you so they look extra special.The staff have ordered items for me that they dont have in stock, usually takes about a week.I appreciate the email/call ahead system and car drop off options they have for COVID.

News FLASH! You dont have to order your books from the store thats named for a certain river in South America! Shop locally at Antigone.

It was nice, everyone was very helpful great experience

Best store for new books Downtown Tucson and you can shop inside again :)

A great selection of local and unique books. Staff could not possibly be more helpful or knowledgeable. They went above and beyond to help find just the right books when I couldnt go shop in person. Just call and ask, they have what you want!

Great place for books, gifts and cards. They are also very safe covid wise which I really like.

Wonderful selection of good books and gifts!

Wonderful shopping experience. plus they have events to support local community action. buy local!

Always the best selection in greeting cards.

Was made to feel very uncomfortable in this store. Took my name and limited me to 30 minutes. Very unfriendly vibe, maybe it was my thin blue line face mask. Oh well it won’t be the first time I was canceled by people like this. I guess unity is for some but not all.

Super amazing costumer service, great vibes inside, really cozy

One of my favourite bookstores in Tucson- awesome fiction and non-fiction selection. Awesome souvenir and childrens book selection too!!

Shopping local for a special person one cannot go wrong here. Always a current selection

Great best bookstore in Tucson

In person and by phone contact - staff are very professional. They offered to research if this book The Sweet Smell of Home - The Life and Art of Leonard F. Chana is still available in hardcover. Page 113 (figure 63/64 photos by me)

One of Tucsons last, & best, independent bookstores. Also a bastion of progressive values.

They are doing a great job to prevent the spread of COVID. They have a large selection of books for all interests.

They had exactly what I was looking for today, and the price was competitive with the national booksellers.

Great selection, easy special orders and impeccable social distancing.

Best bookstore in Tucson, maybe the world.

Nice place

Greatest bookstore ever

The books here are suited for anyone and everyone.

Not your average book store. If you are looking for Barnes and Noble. .. this is not your place! Unique offerings, great childrens selections, history and local artists representation is wonderful!Staff was warm and helpful.Really neat that the whole store is solar-powered.

It was nice.

Best book selection, always find my special reads.

Best BOOKSTORE ever,& super knowledgeable, FRIENDLY!!!YALL HAVE TO CHECK THIS STORE OUT!!😀😀

Places like Antigone are the reason there has been a renewed interest in small independent book stores as the world becomes ever more digitized. Check out their calendar of events. They are a great place to find gifts and handmade items too

We visited this bookstore when we were in town for a few days. Its super cute! Aside from books they also have some cute collectibles and knick knacks/kitschy gifts.

Great store. Lots of well placed inventory. Clean. Easy to browse and find things to buy. Enjoyable shopping experience. Someplace I would love to work. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic local bookstore

A beautiful and peaceful place.

This is my very favorite book store of all time. Not only do they have an extensive collection of both new releases and cult classics, but they also have an amazing gift selection. I cant think of anyone I wouldnt be able to find a present for at Antigone. They have tons of cute journals, home decor, clothes, kids toys, art, and accessories. This is definitely a queer- and feminist-friendly space, but its a welcoming environment for all. Plus, the staff are always ready to help and seem to really love their jobs. Regardless of how avid a reader you are, if you enjoy taking a break from online shopping and supporting local business, this shop is a must-visit.

I hope I am not being too foreward with my introduction, but I like your preface. *yuk yuk* In all honesty, Antigone is everything you need in a local bookstore, the owners go out of their way to show their love of books AND community. (Hey ladies! You rock!)Antigone will register your book club (if you dont have one, I got chu) and provide discounts on your book club picks each month, for the entire group! Not only this, they also provide punch cards (for each $10 spent)!! I love me some good deals, especially if it covers (ha get it?!) my reading addiction. There is something about holding a book in your hands physically, and flipping each page (my poor Kindle would cry if she could read this). I love growing my collection, and supporting local. The atmosphere is so cozy and comfortable, and the staff is always eager to help!Ill leave you with a story... yesterday a book fell on my head. I only have my shelf to blame.;)

A gem of an old fashioned bookstore with good roots.

I love this store! I wish I didnt live 2000 miles away!

Love Antigone Books! More than just books. Bought a great leather wallet and planner here. Wonderful place for gift shopping .

Clean, brightly lit, great variety of books & other items. Staff are always friendly and professional, and willing to help me find what Im searching for. Beautiful independent bookstore!

If you need a gift, this place is the best! I love the stationary selection, the self-help and metaphysical sections, and the LGBTQ resources. This shop is an anchor of 4th avenue and cooperatively owned by women. Its right on the street car line and located next to other great retail, restaurants, and the Food Conspiracy co-op.

When looking for books, cards and gift ideas its my go-to place

I have always loved this store, and I will always make a point to stop when Im in town. They have excellent selections of childrens books, LGBTQ+, fiction, social justice, and non fiction. Excellent staple of Tucson !

A great place to sit and wait for friends while you regroup. Wide assortment of books and hobby needs. Not cheap but not overpriced inventory . If you don’t see it ask someone and they actual go out of there way to assist you.

Great bookstore. Awesome, relevant content on the shelves, and perfect vibe. It was my first time in the store, and Ill be back again and again.

Great bookstore store. Lots of nice gifts and local items. Great selection and staff.

A local bookstore with personality, not like a big retail bookstore. Its a nice place to poke around for an hour and find an interesting new book to read. They have some quirky and locally made gifts too (good place to buy a birthday present).

Such a great bookstore and they got me the most wonderful books and gifts for a friend

One of a kind, feminist book store with all kinds of unique books, journals, cards, postcards, political items, and gifts! Definitely a must-see if visiting Tucson!

Antigone Books is a real plus in Tucson. They care wonderful practical items that many places do not seem to have. I bought the nicest address book in there this past April. It had designs from the 1920s for each letter of the alphabet. The calendars are more unique than most.The wallets and socks they carry are well made and a little different from the norm. Cards also showa little more novelty.I always have fun browsing and shopping there.

Very intimate, personable staff, relaxed atmosphere. They also have the latest books. Loved it!!!

LOVE Antigone Books! This is generally my first stop if Im looking for gifts or a physical book. Love their selection of adult coloring books, blank journals, cookbooks, and local authors. Their feminist and LGBTQ+ selection is also pretty impressive. And, they host a few book discussion groups. The staff is always friendly, and I like the sense of community.
