This was a nice visit…read more We came for an author book signing, we also left with his book and 5 other books. I liked the store, it was well organized and they were friendly. I liked that they had a section of books they let you look through before they shelved them. I'm going to enjoy reading this summer.

I brought in 80+ PRISTINE, HIGH DEMAND books, hoping to get at LEAST $300 for them, as they are…read moreabout $650 all together (yes I calculated the market price for them). I was offered $55 for them. And when I tried to argue about how ridiculous that is, I was told that I "needed to be more educated" on how their system works and that I shouldn't have brought any books in if I didn't read how their book selling policy is.

I have heard so much about Changing Hands. My sister and I were having a thrift/used…read morebookstore/dinner date. 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.

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 had to order some books online. I had them delivered here to join up with some other books that I…read morehad shipped to my home. Books arrived on time however, the pick up process wasn't as straightforward as I expected. I ended up going to the center customer service desk & waiting for about 5 to almost 10 minutes. At that point, I gave up and just went straight to the line. Thankfully, when I got in line after about a 5 to 10 minute wait with only one person at the register, I was able to get access. One could argue after reading my review that I need to go to the bookstore more often... and you would lose that argument as I frequent Bookstores and read a lot more than you'd expect!! :-) Customer service was really good when I got a hold of someone however, I just didn't like the process of knowing where to go to pick up the books. It would be good to have some signage when you first walk in, letting you know what to do.

Lots of interesting things here and the workers here are super nice. When I saw temple merchandise, I figured out really quickly that it's a Mormon bookstore. I'm not a Mormon so I felt a bit out of place. I wasn't sure how to rate this place, and would feel wierd leaving a negative review due to the difference in beliefs, so I'll give it 4 stars for the kindness of the workers, and the awesome Nativity display.

A few parking spots were available out front. But now that I know where to find it, it shouldn't be difficult in the future. There wasn't anyone else inside when my friend and I arrived. They have a small inventory of books available for purchase and I did appreciate the variety the book genres they had. Prices were what you'd expect for brand new books. There were lots of places to sit, including some comfy couches. The woman working was really nice. They have an area to purchase drinks and snacks. A fresh flower cooler was also there to purchase pre-made arrangements, but we didn't find any we liked. It looked like they offer different classes there too.

This place is a bit of a maze but definitely worth exploring. I happened upon this bookstore after…read morea hearty breakfast over at the Waffle House, which shares in the same general strip mall parking lot. What I liked about this place was the abundance of reference books. I need to bone up on my chemistry skills from way back, so I bought a couple of older texts for just such a purpose. I also wandered into their $1 zone and found a couple of impulse buys. How can you not be impulsive when every book in that section is a buck? I found an old cookbook from "The Froog"... that's The Frugal Gourmet for those who remember back when he had a cooking show on PBS. Those who think Paula Deen was the only famous cooking television personality to be tarnished by scandal would do well to look Jeff Smith up on the Interwebs. I guess I know now why his stuff is in the bargain section... but his disappearance from the culinary scene is my shopportunity! The staff here seemed quite knowledgable. I had an interesting discussion with them about the collectibility of some of the Dungeons & Dragons manuals they displayed. I was not aware that the Deities & Demigods manual (available here for $75) was produced in two different versions, the later one omitting any Cthuhlu mythology due to legal issues). I forgot to check which versions were stocked here, but I am well familiar with this book from my childhood (not because I was a D&D player, but because I was into mythology). I had a fun time exploring this bookstore and chatting with the staff. I will return to navigate Bookmaze again sometime. If you've got some time to kill, this is a fine, quirky little bookstore in which to browse, browse, browse for bargains.

The man working had pajamas and no shoes on-- I'm not one to judge, but it seemed like he wasn't expecting us. Kind of creepy and half done. Not a very good selection and they only took like 1/8th of the books we tried to sell, for $20. It took everything in me not to get annoyed. Yes, I did take the $20, but I'm going to stick to eBay/Mercari for selling my books .
