TORE COAS Books was founded in 1984 and has grown to be one of the largest retailers of rare and used books in the Southwest. In addition to selling used books, COAS offers a nice selection of new Southwest books and a games section which caters to those interested in role playing. COAS Books has prospered over the years due to the hard work and dedication of the Beckett family and their great staff.
Customer service is a number one priority at the bookstore.
COAS strives to maintain a high level of honesty and integrity with their customers, always offering highly competitive prices and outstanding service. In February of 1998, Patrick H. Beckett and COAS Bookstore were the recipients of the 1998 Sunshine Community Service Award. This award is given by the Border Book Festival to organizations, businesses or individuals based on a commitment to improve and strengthen the community. We are the first bookseller of primarily used and rare books to receive the award.
