I just left the Bookman's Store on Country Club and Southern, and I was abused and disrespected by…read moreone of their staff members. I was shopping, and waiting for my trade offer for some items I brought in. I asked to look at a Collector Comic Book that was locked in a case. I asked the staff member if I could take the book out and look a it because I wanted to make sure nothing was cut out of the comic. He immediately became defensive, and his attitude became hostile. I said "if there is anything cut out it's not worth $25 and I want to check. If I damage it while looking at it, I'll pay for it." His response wasn't helpful or understanding, it was pushy and abusive. "You should just get these while you see them. No one has these, and I've never seen one in our store since I've been here". I said "I have been collecting comics all of my life, and if there is anything cut out, it's not worth $10 to me". Again, instead of being friendly and asking anything helpful or asking questions, he was pushy and forceful, and became even more irritated when I pointed out the water damage on the back of the comic and told him I didn't want it. He was very unfriendly from the start. A toxic person, to be as kind as I can be. I received notice that my trade offer was ready, but I cancelled my trade offer, and walked out of the store with the items I had brought to trade. I WILL NEVER RETURN AS LONG AS THAT PERSON WORKS THERE. When I advised the staff of what happened, they seemed disinterested in doing anything. I asked them "how can you allow a person who treats customer this was to work here, and why would you want to work here if the business allows this?" They all looked at me with blank stares on their faces. A manager did talk to me, but it was the same attitude as the rude employee. He didn't introduce himself my name. He didn't try to find out the name of the employee. His attitude, like the rude staff member, was an attitude of not wanting to be there, an attitude of feeling irritated that they have to actually talk to a customer and assist them, an attitude of superiority and entitlement, an attitude that their customers do not matter to them and that they don't respect people in general. I advised their manager on duty that I work as a customer service consultant, and the employees treatment was unacceptable. He did offer complimentary credit, but did not indicate how much. I declined and told them honestly "I don't care if you pay me a Billion dollars in cash, I don't want it if that person works here. What he did was unacceptable and he should be fired". I am sure they won't do anything, and I want everyone to know that Bookman's is a TOXIC company who does not appreciate their customers, and they will screw you over and abuse you if you go there.

I love me an old bookstore-the smell of the old books, the creaky wood floors and the set of eyes…read morethat gaze at you when you walk in the front door. It's a whole vibe and one that you just can't get with a bookstore that primarily sells new books. There are some items here that are kept under glass, making me think that they might be rare or valuable. Just browsing the shelves provides endless amounts of curiosity-about the stories or information that these treasures hold. If you're looking for something specific, you might be able to ask the shop keeper for assistance, or just come and see what treasures find you. You're guaranteed to find something!

From the moment we walked in, it felt welcoming, and full of whimsy charm. One of my favorite things was that they had a wall dedicated to local authors, which I absolutely loved. Supporting local businesses and local creatives means a lot to me. They also had so many events happening for both adults and children, such a fun community centered space rather than just a bookstore. If you stop by, make sure to grab their summer bingo printable too. The staff was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and genuinely eager to help. They had a really great selection for both children and adults, so it felt like there was something for everyone. Another huge plus in my book was that they accept ESA, which is so helpful for families using those funds for educational materials along with pouring back into our community. She also shared that they have an outdoor patio space for event but due to summer temps it's usually more popular in the cooler months. Honestly, the only downside is that I wish I would've discovered this place sooner.

I asked for a couple of items, and the person behind the counter, could not be bothered to show me where the items I asked for were.

When I said no, they then replied, "the isle before the young adult books." This was just really poor customer service. If you can, choose another Barbes and Noble. Anyone!!!!​

I like how friendly the staff is at the establishment; they are always welcoming you with a warm smile the moment you walk in and are happy to answer any questions you have about books. Since I have come to appreciate reading and writing over the years, I enjoy visiting this bookstore because it has a nice, quiet atmosphere, and I have found some interesting books there that I can see serving as inspiration down the road. The last time I visited the store, I noticed an older lady having trouble reaching a book, so I helped her get it, and she appreciated the kind gesture. I always enjoy helping others in need. Another thing I like about this store is its book prices, and I can totally see myself purchasing a book from them in the future. Every experience at the store has been enjoyable, and I look forward to stopping by the next time I am in the Youngtown area.

Had to check it out because other than Barnes & Noble there isn't much in bookstores on the west valley. Tons of used books. This isn't a place for new books. But if you wait a month or two you might find a new book that's been traded in. Their books are in overall great condition. Some of the best condition I have seen for used books. I found a book from my favorite author I've never seen before and a leather bound Louie Lamore book for 10 bucks! The staff is SUPER friendly and they do trade ins up to 33% of the books original value.

Imagine my delight to realize that the Changing Hands Tempe location was mere minutes away from our previous stop! Of course, we had to visit. I was immediately engrossed by the assortment of non-cheesy and extremely cool gift items that were at the front of the store, but also sprinkled throughout the location. I also really enjoyed that they had both new and used books. I try to limit myself to purchasing used books for environmental concerns, but it's tricky to find new titles pre-owned, so I justified a splurge and purchased two new books. The prices for both new and used books were extremely fair. In addition to the copious amounts of books, gift items, indie bookstore merch, and everything else wonderful, they also have a photo booth! My sister and I have an agreement to indulge in every photo booth we stumble upon, so we were super excited to happen upon one here. I can't say enough good things about this spot. I'm already excited to return.
