Analogue Books & Records — Local services in Pueblo

My husband and I come to Analogue at least every two weeks on our date nights, after stuffing ourselves with pasta. Regardless of the “fancy” restaurant we eat at, Analogue is always our highlight. When we first started coming, it’s because we love books and my husband loves records, but we’ve continued coming back because of the staff who has always been so friendly and knowledgeable in their suggestions when we stop in at night. We easily spend $100+ dollars every time we come (on books/record store products alone, not including the coffee or drinks we purchase). Kristin and Paz have always been the ones we run into when we come on date nights. They’re always so friendly in their conversations, remembering things about us and making us feel valued and like individuals every time we come in. I cannot tell you how many times they have recommended product to us that ends up being our favorite at home. Kristin has recommended “Lessons in Chemistry”, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”, and “Gwendy’s Button Box” to us, and we’ve loved them all! Paz has recommended one of Phoebe Bridgers’ albums (an artist we had never heard of before), and it’s now one of our household favorites. Paz also got me into poetry as a new novelist (reading poetry was a recommendation of a writing teacher I had to improve my fiction writing skills). Their knowledge and personalities have been things we look forward to on our date nights, as they add a very personal affect to our time at the store…so personal, in fact, my husband re-proposed to me after 13 years of marriage in the first isle of the book store this year, and Paz and Kristin helped him coordinate the whole thing! You can tell Kristin is passionate about the community she lives in, and that both Paz and Kristin are immensely supportive of local artists. We drop by during the day sometimes, but we do not get the same experience with the staff during that time. They are not rude, by any means, but they do not engage…and usually, we end up not buying near as much during the day as we do during our night visits. Paz and Kristin are the heart and soul of Analogue Books and Records, hands down! As you can see, this place holds a very special spot in our hearts, but not just for the fantastic atmosphere and product, but the people we’ve grown to love and call friends.

P.S…Olga, you’re my favorite bartender, and the...

Great selection of books. My favorite thing was the enthusiastic bookseller working on Saturday afternoon (8/17) who helped find my 14 yr old niece 2 books to get really excited about and kindly asked me "do you trust me?" before pressing a book into my hands (pictured). A bookseller who loves books makes the experience so much better. I didn't catch her name, but I wanted her to know that I used her as an example to my niece, who is just beginning to find a love for reading, of what makes the independent bookstore experience special. Thank you!! Next time I am in Pueblo I will stop in again for more...

One of the coolest shops I’ve ever been to in Pueblo, Analogue has a wide selection of books, vinyl, and CDs. I was really impressed by the bookstore, it’s fairly small but the look and organization are great. There are a ton of vinyl, don’t miss the crates underneath the tables for discounts. The vinyl can be pretty pricey especially for the newer stuff, but you can find some good CDs for $2. They also have some dope posters, t-shirts, and other merch. Honestly one of the best parts of Pueblo’s downtown,...
