    We popped into this amazing bookstore after getting a bite to eat at Trevor's. We expected the garden variety of used book store and were completely blown away by how massive and full of books this place was. Hardcover, softcover, rare books--they've got it all, and divided into every section you could think of. The clerk was very helpful when I asked questions about where I may find certain authors as well. The craziest part was their prices. Nothing is worse than finding a super cool book and it being priced outrageously, but everything here was super reasonable, especially considering the rarity factor. I can't to get sucked into Book Gallery again soon!

    Book Gallery is a not so secret spot that feels like a well-kept secret. It's a secondhand book store that is bulging at every corner with rare, collectible, and some current titles stacked and stuffed into aisles of tall wood bookshelves. There were boxes filled with books not shelved, rows and rows of Arizona Highway magazine, and tall stacks of leather bound National Geographic. You could spend hours finding something you were never looking for. It feels like walking through someone's attic stuffed with years of collecting, and yet at the same time, you get the sense that the owner knows exactly where everything is. It's quiet and worn and to any book lover it's the most beautiful sight...and smell.

    The Siberians by Farley Mowat, $5

    Stumbled on this bookstore today and what a gem of a place! Was killing some time before a yoga class and wandered into this place and found a whole universe of used and rare books! You could definitely kill a whole day here if you're a bookworm! I love that the books are arranged by topic area and naturally I found myself in the animal and nature section. Initially, I was looking for a bat book but didn't find it. Bummer. But, of course, the animal section was very interesting to me and I found a large section on birds and bird watching! Cool! And right around the mammals, there is a section on naturalist and even a small section on John Muir! I then found this book about The Siberians and well, that just caught my attention! I read a few pages of the book and knew that I would be interested so took it up front to pay for it. The owner of this book store is Mike Riley and what a wonderful, knowledgeable and sweet person he is! We got to talking about the author of this book and he told me that Farley Mowat is a great writer and shared a few other titles with me. One about deers and another about dogs! Mike Riley opened this book store 33 years ago and he shared that he was happy to open it then and also very happy now! What a really nice story about a local bookstore owner! I'll definitely be back to look at more books but also to pay Mike visit and just say hello and chat about more books! I love books, the way to my heart is thru books! This is an awesome place, give it a try. You're helping to support local and...it's just a really near store!

    Consider this place Valhalla for rare books at great prices. I highly recommend this place. The owners and workers are super helpful in finding what you're looking for. The place actually smells of old book leather. For old book nerds-- it's great. I'm not from Phoenix but I will be staying in touch with this place for rare deals.

I have met several of my favorite authors there: Michael Connelly, Robert Dugoni, C J Box, the late Thomas Perry, as well as a new author that I really like, Nick Petrie. Barbara, the owner, is the ultimate hostess and interviewer. She has nurtured so many authors as well as following their careers. Books are usually not priced, just sold for whatever is listed on the back jacket. However, they do have a couple of seasonal sales. I would totally recommend this bookstore to anyone visiting downtown Scottsdale!

Being from the Midwest, we ended up in a lighthearted, fun conversation about Fargo, which made the visit feel even more welcoming at first. Unfortunately, that experience shifted pretty quickly. During our conversation, the owner came up and told us she could hear us from the back of the store and that we needed to keep it down because a workshop was going on. Fair enough, but it was the delivery that was surprising. She explicitly said, "Because I own the bookstore, I can be rude." That comment really changed the tone. It felt like casual conversation (even a little laughter) wasn't welcome (unless participating in the workshop, by all means join workshop after Happy Hour and be rambunctious while customers are shopping.) The atmosphere suddenly shifted to less inviting and I wished I didn't spend my money. It's disappointing, because the space itself and interactions with staff like Patrick are genuinely great. I just wish the overall experience matched the charm of the bookstore.

    I am usually not in this area a lot, but my daughter & I wanted to go check out this bookstore for…read moresome used books so we took the drive down. 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.

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.

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%
