Cactus Book Shop

Felton Cochran

Specializing in fine books on Texas and the Southwest since 1995

Plus, I proudly offer the largest selection of titles by Elmer Kelton found anywhere.

"NOTE: If you're ever in San Angelo, please stop and visit. My hours are 10:00am to 5:30 pm Tuesday through Saturday; and Monday by chance. I've been a serious bookseller since 1995, and my shop might be considered a bit old-fashioned. I don't take debit or credit cards, but I do accept out-of-town checks with proper identification. I have an extensive, wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling inventory of Texana and Western Americana. (To give you an idea, my Texas County History section alone takes up nearly 70 linear feet of shelf space; Range and Cattle over 50 linear feet; and there's an entire section -- about 60 feet -- devoted to J. Evetts Haley, Ben K. Green, J. Frank Dobie, and other Southwestern authors, not counting over 50 feet exclusively allocated for Elmer Kelton titles... and there's lots more.) Cactus Book Shop is located in downtown San Angelo in the heart of the historical district at 6 East Concho Avenue. You can call me at 325-659-3788, or contact me via e-mail at cactusbooks@suddenlinkmail.com. Or just come on by--I think you'll be glad you did."
