Mindbird Maps & Books was a walk-in store for nine years and is now a home-based, internet-only business featuring a unique selection of new and used books and maps, usually discounted.  It is a store which encourages exploration and awareness of the world around and within us.  As such, we stock a diversity of subjects and feature world literature, science and nature, history, travel and geography, philosophy, and more.  This website focuses on the maps, but we are adding more books.  Mindbird was originally known as "buddha-nature maps & books". In addition to this website, Mindbird Maps sponsors and has developed three others.  One, www.coestatepark.com features Henry W. Coe State Park in California, where the owner worked for many years.  The second, www.nazflora.org, Northern Arizona Flora, is an annotated photographic catalog of Northern Arizona wild plants.  The third, www.mojavenp.org celebrates the landscapes and life forms of Mojave National Preserve, California. The Mindbird logo is the silhouette of a Common Nighthawk, a bird common but not well known, with erratic flight patterns which remind us of the way our minds flit about from subject to subject, seldom at rest.  It is a bird of surprising adaptability, at home in the wilderness of the Southwest, such as the Utah Canyonlands, but able to find a niche in cities of the Northeast, such as Boston, where it nests on flat open roofs of large buildings.  And this reminds us that our minds, too, are more adaptable than we are inclined to think. As to the kinds of books we like to stock, our attitude is aptly expressed in the quotations you may read here.
