Best Bookstore Ever! Amazing selection of jewelry, art, home goods and more! Great place to trade in for in store credit! This bookmans seems smaller but more organized than the other big bookmans. It's always nice to go to both stores! 😁
All my CD's were in 2 large boxes that the movers lost. Devastation! My hair stylist told me about Bookmans and wow I got 5 albums so far replaced. Staff is exceptionally kind to a 75 year old who loved Joplin Hendrix Jefferson but no Ozzie right now! Love this place.
Always a teriffic place to go. I could spend days in this store that is full of new and used books, videos, video games and music. As well as new and used musical instruments and electronics. Except, they really don't have televisions.....they are too big. I don't think they have many computers either. Their selections are always wide and far reaching, their staff is friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is that of a cozy bookstore. I often just sit and read. They have an area wherd they will evaluate and possibly buy your used items if you bring them in. I often do this in exchange for store credit. (Which is always a much better deal than whet they will give you in cash.....but, that makes sense.) They also have tons of unique, nic-naks like page holders, some jewelry, locally made, Arizona styled greeting cards, buttons, collectibles and souvenirs. Its definately a fun place to go and thd prices are pretty good as well.
What has happened to this Book store? What used to be a favorite place to go for a great selection of books no longer exist. Paper back book galore. My favorite Authors no longer exist there. Prices have took a huge jump. Most books are not what I would purchase. Today, I notice they took all the cozy chairs out. Not welcoming at all. This all started to change from 2020 and only gotten worse. I really don't know how they stay in business.
Very cool shop with tons of books, dvds, LP records, video games, VHS and cassette tapes. Quite a diverse selection of new and used items, including instruments like guitars, violins, and ukulele. Appeared to take Trades on some items. Didn't spend much time there but would definitely go back to explore in more detail.
