Welcome to Old Ranch Books, Formerly the Portales Book Nook of Portales, New Mexico. Our "Brick and Mortar" bookstore closed in December 2007 when we bought our ranch and moved 25 miles west of town.
Our ranch was homesteaded by John Russell in 1907. He took his covered wagon, turned it over, and lived out of the impromptu home until the Russell's built their first homestead adobe home. The current ranch house was built in 1914...the current office of OLD RANCH BOOKS. We bought the ranch in November 2006, renovated many of the buildings and moved to the ranch shortly thereafter.
We list our books online through a series of book listing venues; ABEBOOKS.COM, ALIBRIS.COM, BOOKFINDER.COM. And of course...our own site OLD RANCH BOOKS.
Currently we offer over 75,000 titles online. Take the time to browse our books. Pam and I are confident you'll find what you're looking for offered at a fair price.
We love Western Roosevelt County and it's 'Wild West' values and independent streak. The restless wind and dashing sky pageantry soothes ones soul.
Enjoy your visit to our site and if you ever find yourself blown our way, park your horse out back and mosey inside!
Search or browse our inventory to find your favorite out-of-print (OOP), used, and scarce books. If you can't find your book, fill out our off-line search form and we will search our off-line inventory of over 140,000 books or use other fellow bookstores and book search services for you.
"Thank You" for your visit and remember to support your local Independent Bookstore wherever it happens to be located in the US, Canada, UK, or elsewhere around the world!!
