Sonoran Pages

Sonoran Pages has been a cultural anchor in Old Town Scottsdale since 1995, drawing visitors and locals alike into its warm, adobe-walled rooms filled with the best of Southwest literature and art. The store was founded by a retired Arizona State University professor of environmental studies who wanted to create a space celebrating the unique landscape and cultures of the Sonoran Desert. A lush courtyard garden planted with palo verde trees and saguaro cacti provides a shaded reading retreat where customers linger over iced prickly pear lemonade from the in-store cafe. The rare books room houses an impressive collection of early Edward Curtis photographs and first-edition Tony Hillerman novels. Sonoran Pages has become a required stop for anyone exploring the intersection of art, ecology, and Indigenous storytelling in the American Southwest.
