ALT Books and Records — Local services in Sedona

My girlfriend and I were passing through Sedona and were excited to see that there was now a record store. Turns out it's just a tourist trap. If you are a serious collector, you shouldn't bother because everything is outrageously over-priced. In the racks you'll find literal dollar records priced at $20-$30. These are things you can buy from Discogs still sealed for $1, or find in the bargain bin at brick and mortar shops. Anything that is actually rare you can expect to pay much more than you should. In addition, the owner has another store in a less busy part of town that we also visited. When we got to talking to him he bragged to us about how he can overcharge for records at the primary location, and people still buy them. This isn't a case where the owner doesn't know what they're doing. They are preying on people who don't know any better. Ridiculous. Their book selection is okay, and the woman working behind the counter...

This was such a cute little bookstore. It’s tastefully decorated with Dr. Seuss artwork which gives it a fun atmosphere. The owner plays music from a record player. And when he noticed my son was looking at “The Beatles” books he brought over a box of books about “The Beatles” that he hadn’t had a chance to put out yet and allowed my son to go through them. We bought “Mustang” a classic children’s book from the 60’s that was in great condition, two books about “The Beatles”, and a book of poems by Edgar Allen Poe. The prices were reasonable, especially considering we were in the center of a tourist location where the prices could have easily been higher. I would definitely visit this store again the next time...

You love the shopping area! Has a little of everything, including this cool find. Bookstore/record store. Has mainly classics. I chose to go the "yacht rock" direction inspired by the yacht rock documentary that came out and walked out with some pretty cool records. Little pricey, but that's what it's becoming. Records and record shops are back in. Also, there are some really awesome illustrations by Dr. Seuss....Collectables. The biggest thing that stood out to me was the entrance. Was a squeeze through some eucalyptus trees and up a flight of stairs. Was like being up in an extravagant tree house haha! Gotta...
