Stanley moved to Sedona eleven years ago citing a love for the breath taking beauty of the area.  As a musician, Sedona's beauty and majesty is a creative inspiration. As a business man, Sedona's small town friendliness combined with a cultural and philosophic diversity to rival bigger cities made opening a local book and music store a natural fit.
 
From the start Stanley endeavored to make Sedona Books & Music different from any other store in town. Through the store's varied offerings and stimulating atmosphere he hopes to appeal to thoughtful people with broad based interests who are also concerned about social trends and environmental causes.

While the philosophical mission of Sedona Books & Music is to be a gathering place for creative people, its practical mission is to be attentive to its customers' interests through its choice of book and music offerings.

Stanley's concept of "the thoughtful patron" is one who, while not necessarily requiring the detailed knowledge of an expert, wants to read well known books on cutting edge subjects and even unfamiliar books that take important ideas to the next level. Stanley believes that Sedona draws educated people who are looking for that "something extra."
 

"Bionomics: Economy as Ecosystem" is a good example of this type of book. Written by Michael Rothschild, "Bionomics" describes how knowledge of biological systems can be applied to understand economics. This book might appeal to business people in Sedona searching for a new approach to revolutionize their business practice.

In fact, all of the books at Sedona Books & Music reflect this philosophy with a broad selection in categories such as Business, Music, Philosophy, Regional Topics, Spirituality, General Fiction, and Science just to name a few.

Sedona Books & Music also contains Arizona's most extensive collection of works on Music Therapy. Currently working towards a Master's Degree in Music Therapy at the University of Arizona, Stanley has amassed a collection here for all interest levels, from the beginner to the accredited practitioner.

Stanley also keeps his finger on the pulse of the local music scene by arranging in store jam sessions, and supports the Sedona music community by providing guitar lessons and making music books, CD's and musical instruments available.

If you are looking for a CD of Classical, Folk, Country, Classic Rock, Local Music, or Heavy Metal, you'll find it at Sedona Books & Music along with suggestions of other similar artists that might appeal to you.

If you are looking for Kenny G, have you heard Sun-Ra? Or, if you enjoy Mozart, have you listened to Milton Babbitt?
 
Serving the needs and interests of the community is a primary goal of Sedona Books & Music.  If that book, CD, or instrument you are searching for is not in stock, the staff will be happy to order it for you.

With a large and comfortable reading and listening area, you are encouraged to browse, pick out a book and sit for a spell, or even strike up an engaging conversation with another patron. Let the kids choose a bright book to read while they prop themselves up against a oversized stuffed tiger in the Children's Area. Take down one of the guitars or pick up a drum on display and play a tune. Audience participation of all forms is highly encouraged here.
