Prices are comparable to San Diego but unfortunately that is the case for all Mexico regarding books, not just for this bookstore.

I had a terrible time coming in here to pick up some tickets I ordered online with Ticketmaster…read more This is the only Ticketmaster location in Tijuana, so it was the only place I could go. They didn't speak English, which is fine, as it should be a fairly easy transaction with my limited Spanish. But they didn't like my credit card because the numbers were on the back and they couldn't use their ancient credit card slip system. They told me I'd need to call Ticketmaster and change credit cards, which wasn't going to happen as I don't live in Tijuana and wasn't going to negotiate that hour-long phone call. They got back on the phone with Ticketmaster after my insistence, and couldn't reach a human. They kept trying to give up and send me away, but I told them I was not leaving. Finally I told them they can use a pencil to take an imprint of the card. The second guy tried the machine and lo and behold, it took an imprint just fine. Why couldn't the girl try that 30 minutes prior rather than wasting my time? Then she wrote the details on the slip and screwed up and had to rip it up and start over. I know these guys don't actually work for Ticketmaster, but if they're going to be the agents for people who need to pick up their tickets, they need to be better trained. This was a train wreck of an experience, and after 45 minutes in the store and much frustration, I finally walked out of the store with my tickets. It could have been a 5 minute visit.

I remember visiting Bookoff in NYC for the first time 25+ years ago and it blew my mind. That…read morefeeling kind of never goes away in any Bookoff. Of course it's even more intense in Japan where it feels like you're in a labyrinth and may never make it out. I always feel like I need to inspect everything closely so I won't miss anything that could change my life lol When I first visited this Bookoff 3 years ago, they didn't have ANY Japanese music. Japanese music is the entire reason I go to Bookoff (and a lifelong passion for me) so this physically hurt me. Japan has the second largest music industry in the world, and this is a Japanese store! I couldn't believe it, I even asked the staff at the time (who were very friendly and helpful, and they still are!) and they confirmed that they had nothing. I know Kpop has basically always been more popular globally but come on y'all. They do play both Jpop and Kpop in the store BGM. Anyway, I'm very happy to report that they have a small section now. It really could be larger considering, but I guess this is what they get sold to them. I didn't recognize a lot of artists in the records (the CDs were too high up for me to browse easily) which just means it's an opportunity for discovery. There's no way to try the records so I'll have to come back with Google and some headphones. I walked out with ひばり美空 & おニャン子クラブ records, lol. I saw 2 イルカ records but didn't bite. Many reviews complain about the pricing. My records were $9 each which is fair but I did notice some were $30-40. About the pricing, all I can say is that they're a specialty brick & mortar store in Socal so they need to survive. And the items sold here cannot be obtained anywhere else easily except for the internet, where you can guarantee many of them would be more expensive. For people like me, I would never complain about the prices no matter what - Bookoff is invaluable. But I get it if a book costs more used than new, that doesn't make sense. Either way, please support Bookoff in whatever way makes sense to you, or it will disappear. Please help ensure the survival of Bookoff!
