Bookmans Entertainment Exchange

I love me a bookstore. Bookmans has a ton of books, games, DVDs, and other fun things available. There is so much to look at, it is almost overwhelming but being around books makes me happy so it over rides everything. They had these fun little "Blind Date Books" at the front of the store. They were wrapped with only a description of what the book was and who it would be for. I thought this was a great idea and ended up getting one for my Valentine. I love Bookmans!

Always a favorite stop!Took granddaughter in to get some books and movies.Everyone is so kind and helpful.Will be coming in soon to see what new selections they have in.

This is where you get ripped off on selling your stuff. Then they turn around and rip someone else off by selling at almost retail. Most of the staff is lethargic and lazy. The music department is the most unfriendly people they could find and hired them.

This store is enormous. It's essentially the book shop and the Bookmans sports exchange combined. This has become another regular visit for me and my daughter this summer. She loves exploring all the aisles and they've hosted some children centric events, which have been just OK. They're free which a bonus but they haven't really wowed. But the space itself makes for fun exploration and of course some shopping too.

This NEW location is TWO former locations merged into ONE. Very clean and well-organized. Friendly staff. Plentiful parking.Nice restrooms too - a door code is needed to use the restrooms. I wonder if there was a Starbucks next door, because the restrooms smelled like coffee nearby. LoL!I am a HUGE fan of Bookmans, with Mesa being my favorite hands down. This location is pretty big. The vibe is difference than the other one on Speedway. There are NOT as many collectible toys here as Speedway, Mesa, and Northern, but the area is near the front if you are hunting Funko, action figures, Star Wars, Marvel, Legos, etc.They do have a LOT of books and a nice selection of random gift items too. Pricing is reasonable. New and used items. A FUN visit!

In all my years visiting Tucson and going to the Tucson mall. I have never been to this particular Bookmans. Till today. Walked out a couple hundred bucks lighter, however, much worth the $ spent. Ample parking, walking distance to Tucson mall & other venues. Well organized and typical Bookmans layout. Friendly staff. Despite basically everything behind glass (thanks to your friendly neighborhood five finger bandits) it's no hassle to get someone to grab whatever you need. Some things are a bit over priced, however, plenty of reasonably priced items to select from. Excellent location to find retro games, vinyl (yes, I said LPs, like the good stuff DJs used to spin a wheel to). If your looking to trade, sell, or buy, this is the place for you.

I recently dropped into the brand new Bookmans on River and it was an excellent experience! I could literally spend hours in a Bookmans because there is so much to see from books, to musical instruments, to local artwork. It never gets old! This location is exceptional and it feels larger than some of the other locations I've visited up in Phoenix/Mesa. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Tucson!

Bookman's outdid themselves. This new location is super chill with a great vibe. Tons of new and used books, records, musical instruments and more (gifts, magazines, t shirts....). And the location is perfect. I am so happy for this old fashioned style bookstore with lots of books (every topic under the sun!) and crannies for enjoying your favorite books.

I love Bookman SO MUCH!! I wish we had a location near me. So many shelves to browse and goodies to find! Prices are decent by used book standards.

I'm a Tucson local, grew up going to Bookmans and now enjoy bring my kids. That said, I've been to this location a few times and have found this location to be a bit less than welcoming. I understand it's usually busy there, but most staff seem inconvenienced when I go to trade need help with something. This has honestly been true for all locations, but especially the few times I've gone to the new River store, which is especially disappointing because it's pretty far out of my way. Bookmans is quirky, and I'm perfectly find that it isn't a kiss up "customer is always right," kind of store, but the costumer service is so lacking I oftentimes feel unwelcomed. We're all human, we're allowed to have off days, but this is consistent. I won't stop going, but it's sad when one of my favorite stores starts to feel like a chore.
