As always, I love a local shop, especially when it comes to comics. Ash Ave is a hidden gem for…read morecomics and their selection is niche. I will always find the issue or trade that I'm looking for specifically at Ash Ave. Everyone that works there is super friendly and helpful. I came in one time seeking the Absolute Batman Annual weeks after it was already sold only to find out there was one issue left that they were selling for a higher price point. I believe the owner was the one who offered it to me as soon as I vocalized how badly I wanted it and he kindly gave me a discount! When I was an avid collector, I used to come weekly here because they have some of the best selection of comics in the Valley. And they're pretty personable too. I appreciate business owners who care for their customers and always have a helping hand.

Reason why I rarely shop Toy Temple anymore and shop: Amazing Discoveries, Rekreation Games, Althoria, Authority.

Todd, the owner, is super cool and all he is there for is to help you with all your comic book needs you might ever have. I asked him about a comic I've had for years and he knew everything about it and was able to answer my questions WHILE he looked it up and didn't have to WAIT to look it up. Look at my pictures and see all the stuff he has. If you want to go back in time to when you were able to escape into the comic book world, stop by and check this gem of a dying bread and say hi to Todd! I'm positive he will welcome you like he's known you all his life! 5 stars for this awesome place to re-experience your youth!

There were quite a few, but not as many as I'd hoped (at least that he didn't have; it's well stocked for non-collectors or beginning collectors just fine, but not for someone who has been collecting for 15+ years lol). There was also a little bin of pins and stuff, so I grabbed myself a few of those. The staff up front talked to me a bit and when I'd mentioned my husband collects board games and retro games, they pointed me toward another shop in the little mall behind the DQ. Super kind of them!

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.

Weird place. Definitely a cool concept, it tries to stay as true to a "maze" as possible. The…read moremildew smell couldn't be ignored. 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 .
