Pretty cool store! This was my first time in one. I e seen them before but never went in…read more They sell a lot of records, DVD's, books and more. It appears as though you can sell your items or trade them. My daughter bought two comic books. I just looked around although I saw a record I wanted. I have 5 that I've bought since being in TX. That's enough lol!

This review is mostly a copy of another review of a different location for this exact same chain…read morestore. As a bit of a lifelong closeted fantasy and pop culture fan, I love that this store has come along. I just wish it had been around when I was a teen. This store (and any location, really) is fully loaded. I'm going to let this review be taken over by a huge list here that still doesn't capture everything. - tarot and oracle decks and books - spellbooks, metaphysical, witchcraft, runes - goblets, mugs, candles, sage, palo santo, incense, wind chimes, crystals - buttons, pins, keychains, jewelry, stickers - vinyl and CDs, used and new, and players - musical instruments (ukuleles, guitars, and more) - t-shirts, hats, backpacks, and socks - pop toys, squish mallows, stuffed animals - audio books and movie DVDs - majority of the store is books of all kinds - always worth a look at the clearance section - puzzles, board games, tabletop trading card games like MTG and Pokemon - children's toys, Legos, Nerf, action figures - calendars, planners, journals, inspirational wall hangings - manga, anime, comics (DC, Marvel, and more) - video games for all systems current and past - Fred and Kikkerland knickknacks - mystery mini boxes, pouches, gaccha collectibles - antique/linen postcards - fantasy dragon and fairy statues - fandom specific collectibles (Harry Potter, Disney, and more) The store seems in constant disarray simply from the fact that there is so much variety. Literally nothing is fully alphabetized, and asking someone to look up an item you're searching for is mostly pointless beyond them being able to tell you it's most likely "somewhere" in the store. This is my biggest gripe here. However, if you're accustomed to searching through piles of random objects at places like thrift stores and secondhand stores, you may enjoy going on the hunt at this store too. They buy an array of pre-owned items here too. But worth noting that if you sell here in the morning then realize you forgot something and come back, they will not buy from you again in the same day. They lose stars for that inconvenience factor, too. I would imagine that based on need, they will buy anything that they would sell. I've personally sold Magic the Gathering cards here before. Value given in store credit is higher than cash, but be prepared to feel ripped off either way. Prices on used items are decent, but on new it can often be huge compared to buying online ($60 vs $35 in one instance). This is otherwise a great store to burn time in reading and browsing.

I wish our (Loveland, CO) B&N was this big. I stopped by the "Current Affairs" racks and was…read morefascinated to see that the shelves are stocked entirely differently than my local B&N. Yes, there is some overlap, but not much. If "what sells" is guiding the stocking of each store, it reveals that the good people of Lubbock have a lot more common sense. Let's just say that Thomas Sowell isn't a big seller where I live.

The staff at checkout was very friendly. I didn't see many staff members when I was in the store…read more There was a wide variety of different types of books with all different prices. They have a Starbucks inside with seating all around. It's always very busy since it's connected to the mall.

Tremendous selection, good prices!! This was our first time in Lubbock and really impressed with…read morethis store. Will be back.

5 Star. It's just a neat place to go to. It's like a Dollar Store / Flea Market combined. Prices…read moreare good. Could be better, a bit lower, but OK. You never know what you're going to see "New" that came in. Sure, they have a lot of the same stuff that comes in over and over, but there's always something NEW stocked in between all that older stuff sitting there on the shelves. Place looked like hell, trashy under previous Management. New Management and new set of Employees has really cleaned it up. Worth a walk thru every couple of weeks just to see what all has come in recently. Do Recommend. At the very least, stop by and just walk thru it. Even going in not looking to buy anything, you're going to BUY something. Guaranteed. (LOL)

I've been to multiple bookstore locations and Varsity was the smoothest process. They had…read moreeverything I needed. The staff is very helpful. Great quality tech gear too! Cute styles and good prices. They always have some sort of discount or deal going on, I love that!

The manager is getting an incredibly bad rap on these reviews…read more Every single time I have gone to Varsity, the staff has been extremely courteous and gone out of there way to help me in the process of finding my books. They have always had their books on time. Secondly, when I've had an issue they have helped me out. As a law student, I have at various times needed to keep a book rental longer than the term stated. If I notified Varsity, this has not been a problem. Go to Varsity for your books. Read their policies...they are very explicit and up front about them. If you have issues they are willing to work with you on them.
