    I came here to find some stones for my photography and I was very impressed. I don't have anything to compare this to, but everyone in the store looked happy and seemed to be repeat customers. It was PACKED! They had a psychic fair so there were readers all over the store offering readings for $1/minute and were completely booked. I got a pyrite and fire & ice balls as well as a desert rose. So beautiful!

    I have never had the pleasure of visiting this metaphysical bookstore in person; but I have definitely enjoyed my psychic readings here! I have been through some major stressful events these past few months in Chicago and called different readers up for their intuitive incite and to have a sounding board and empathetic ear. I started out taking readings with Nicole who I personally feel is the most gifted and naturally intuitive reader here. However unfortunately the last few times I requested her guidance the staff at the front reception desk lied to me and said she was sick and needed to go home early. On the 3rd day of trying to book her someone here was more honest and said Nicole doesn't want to read for me anymore because she doesn't think she can be impartial. I was so disappointed because I loved & valued her readings but it's her choice to refuse a customer so I was instead placed with Shelly who was happy to accommodate me. I've had readings with everyone here so I will run through the full list of available readers-- Shelly, Cassie, Robbie and Lars are wonderful So there you go...if you need a genuinely good psychic reading I recommend these wonderful people. I'm not sure why Nicole doesn't want to work with me but I honor her decision. Sorry I don't have photos of this bookstore but I've only booked psychic readings online

    Beautiful, large store full of books, decks, incense, readers, gemstones, etc.

    Have been a long time customer of Vision Quest since their old location on Scottsdale Rd. Stopped by last month when in town and noticed some very positive changes. Finally, new books, new merchandise, new decks. I was pleasantly surprised. For a long while the books seemed older and outdated. I found out that they have a new manager and she is doing great. Can't wait to stop by next time I'm in town!

    This place is amazing. Stop in you guys!

    This place is beyond amazing. It's such a great place to come for most anything spiritual. I come here I'd say 3 or more times a month. I've seen many Spiritual Souls here and I have had some great experience and some not. but I know they all mean well here. I at times feel that it is a little uncomfortable being out in the open with everyone else being able to hear your readings. plus I don't like that at times I'm picking up on everyone else's energy being so open like that and I'm unsure if my readings are always truly honest. not due to the spiritual worker but due to the amount of energy in the room. I will always come back here. I would up it to 5 starts if things were a little more private. they have everything you will need here.

    Peace of Mind incense is sold OUT!

    I was in search of a replacement bracelet of a certain kind, found at most metaphysical stores. In my experience there's Phoenix Rising Now/7th Ave, Fantasia Crystals/7th St, and Vision Quest/Indian School. I was geographically closest to VQ so chose there. Their variety of the spiritual, astrological and metaphysical always impresses. Crystals/stones, incense, jewelry, reference books, and gorgeous tapestries flood the space. Unfortunately, they didn't have the kind of bracelet I was looking for but still love browsing & picked up some cone incense & the perfect bday card for a friend. The other biggest feature this location has is their psychics, mediums, tarot readers, etc - nine to be exact. These professionals' stations are set up all over the store: little tables with two chairs. As I wandered around the store, I could hear one psychic doing a reading for her client PLUS all the details. IMO, these are sacred/private exchanges of information, enlightenment & healing. Not having privacy for these sessions is a disconnect, Yes for shopping here but "No" for getting any type of personal reading.

    Super cute statue for fun!

    Looking for a psychic but it's hard to determine who is legit and who is not. Was it expensive? Also recommend this location?

    When I used to go, it wasn't expensive. I usually paid $20 for 30 mins? I think... But, this was years ago. Some of the psychics are fairly good, others not very accurate. I'm also trying to find a legit, affordable psychic, but it's easier said… Read more

    So I waited to see Toney, because apparently my Spirit Guides had chosen him to do my reading.

In addition to the mystery / thriller genre, you'll find a lot of signed editions & 1st editions, too. Pricing is on par with most any other local book store. In a world full of Barnes & Nobles, we need more Poisoned Pens. If you're an avid reader, you owe it to yourself to check this place out.

I took the time to stop in a few weeks ago to pick out something for my daughter's birthday. The staff is delightful and incredibly helpful. They specialize in mystery, crime, thrillers, fantasy, & fiction, with several autographed first editions (including a hardcover copy of Twilight I noticed behind the glass doors of a small bookcase). There's a featured Diana Gabaldon section with everything Outlander-related you can think of including Scottish cocktail and cookbooks. They have a few very cool book clubs, including the Hardboiled book club, Croak and Dagger book club, and Sci-Fi book club. They also have author readings and signings often. You can attend these events by Zoom if you don't want to come in person. Their website has an extensive calendar and list of all activities and events. You can also join their mailing list and receive emails which I did at the counter. My first trip in I got several classic books and some ACOTAR books for my daughter that she had on her list. I also got a few fun ones from a special Jane Austen table set up near the front entrance. My daughter wanted to return to check out the selection a few weeks later and ended up getting additional classics, including Dostoevsky, and an anime tarot card pack. There's also a small selection of journals, literary themed merchandise and socks, and a small beverage case for drinks. Restroom for customers inside.

When we arrived, I realized I remembered this spot from when I was a kid, I just hadn't been back since I was younger. This spot is absolutely STUFFED with books, comic books, VHS tapes and more. You could spend quite a long time wandering around looking at all of the books they have to offer. It can be slightly overwhelming especially if you are looking for something specific as there wasn't really any clear guidance on where to find certain sections. We still had a lot of fun though wandering around and seeing what we could find. If you are looking for the prices, they are written in pencil on the inside of the books. You can find a mixture of mostly used books along with some new books. They have a cute shop cat that you can sometimes spot wandering around, or asleep at the front. The woman who was working the register the day we visited was friendly! They also had a cart out-front with a number of books that were free to grab. There is plenty of parking out-front.

    Found this little gem in Phoenix last week when I was on the hunt for a used copy of Song of…read moreSolomon. I called and they said they have the 1984 edition for $6, which was a great price. Once I was got to the store, I had to explore. I think that if one were to regularly visit Books, he/she would find some rare editions and other gems. Also, they had what looked like reproductions of banned book announcements posted around the store: all were of classic novels that we can't imagine not having access to as students. (See photos: Charlotte's Web, Huck Finn, Fahrenheit 451...) They were quite entertaining, in a disturbing way. They had the effect of making me feel so grateful that past efforts of censorship in the US had failed. In 2024, this is still a real threat. Tiny stores like this one are real treasures. Let's keep them in business.

    How haven't a written a review of this place!…read more I love an establishment that presents itself as a home for the community. I walk in to Bookman's and often find displays that are Arizona focused in a way that makes you feel and know this place is home town friendly. No big box impersonal feels here! I frequent this store and stop in just because I'm passing by. As an avid reader, I read about 50 books a year, Bookman's is a great place to buy paper books at a cheaper price. My favorite part about local shops like Bookman's is how they don't shy away from displaying banned books all year long! I have to read at least one banned books a month! There's gotta be something in the banned books they don't want us to know and I'm determined to read as many as possible. Interestingly enough, this store is full of "entertainment treasures" too. Music, musical instruments and even gaming equipment can be purchased here. The only thing missing is a social lounge with a coffee bar. We'd probably go even more often if there were a coffee bar inside. Return Factor: 100%
