I live an hour away and occasionally stop by this shop when I'm in Beaumont. I've never had a bad…read moreexperience until yesterday. The lady that works the front tried to accuse me of not paying for some books literally less than a minute after paying her. Never stole anything in my life and spent quite a bit of my hard earned money on comics and citadel paints from here over the years. Being treated like a thief in front of other customers and lack of apology just doesn't sit well with me. Definitely not going back!

I continuously return to this store and experience a fantastic time every time I go. The store is…read morealways clean, well stocked with hundreds of hidden gems, RPG books, models, and boardgames that are out of print and very hard to find. They have some of the best stock in the state and the friendliest attitudes of any game/comic hobby shop in Texas. I have a very good friend who was affected by the recent flooding in East Texas and he recount this story to me: "Friday night I went to Book Stan, no big deal now since I am staying in Beaumont/Nederland for the moment. Miss Beverly knew I had lost 99% of my books and cards and some of my miniatures had been stepped on because they floated around the house. And the Friday before she told me to stick around and offered me a discount on the books I felt like replacing....being soft hearted as I am I cried and she gave me a hug and told me she was going to help me. I came in Friday and looked on the new stuff shelf like I always do, and when I got to the counter, I started to ask her for 2 of the books I had set aside to buy. She said I got 2 problems, first the discount I told you last week, Terry said it wasn't good enough and doubled it. And second I talked to Games-Workshop and they have given you money to help replace your books and the miniatures you lost....." I hear stories like this from all of my friends that go to Book Stan, its a fantastic hidden gem of nerdery in East Texas, the only problem I have is its so far away that I can't make it a daily trip.

I have to admit that I was a little more than apprehensive about stopping in this town to check out…read morea game and comic book store, the area has a history.. Yet, what I found at the Lyons Den was anything but what the stereotype of a town darkened by past events. The Lyons Den was a friendly, welcoming haven for gamers, geeks, nerds of all walks of life. The store was well stocked with product and I'd arrived on a 'Free Comic Book Day' event where a lot of the stores regulars dressed up as their favorite iconic super hero or villain. There were smiles and laughter from everyone around and I was welcomed. They had guest artists in attendance for the event signing autographs and doing one of a kind art upon request. Later they had an intense and well attended Magic The Gathering tournament and are even listed on the national rolls. They make ample use of the space in the store with product from floor to ceiling and covering a wide arrange of mainstream and independent comics as well as games, cups, shirts, banks, hoodies, hats and almost anything you can think of. They're linked to several distributors so if there is an item you've been looking for, then they can order it for you. The Lyons Den seemed like an awesome place to chill and have a good time for anyone and everyone. Its made me happy to know there is a small island in the midst of the area's history and to know that everyone is welcome. The visit here was due to looking for a potential out of print item and sometimes smaller game stores tucked away in small towns can hide surprising treasure for a gamer like myself. This trip was well worth it for the experience alone.

I walked over from the coffee shop next door to check this place out; I've only been once before…read moreand had a decent experience then. However this time, the punk behind the counter was a complete ass. He told me that they don't allow backpacks (my laptop bag) in the store. This is understandable so I ask if I can give it to him to set behind the counter while I shop. He says no and that I need to put it in my car. This wouldn't have been a huge issue other than the fact that it had started to rain just a few minutes prior. I put my bag in my car and left. My business will go to a store where customers are treated with a least a little dignity. I'm not trying to steal from you, I wanted to give you money.

The damaged book, in my opinion was not eligible for a claim because it was poorly packed, ie, not boxed. Seller asked me on multiple occasions to send additional photos of packing materials. I'm not sure how many pictures one can take of a bag. No offer to return book, no apology for my inconvenience, no offer of a refund was forthcoming. I eventually got tired of the whole procedure which I believe is what the seller intended.

I found parallel parking right in front on the store, I'm sure there's a lot close by if parallel parking isn't your thing. The store is narrow but they have made excellent use of the space. There are tons of comics, books, action figures and even a small selection of reasonably priced vinyl records. The employee was talking to a younger comic book fan while I was there, suggesting what to read and characters he might like. I could tell the employee had a real passion for what he was doing, it was very nice. I'm glad I made the trip to Baytown, it's a really cool store.

I've been here several times and will keep coming back. Nice to have a decent comic/gaming shop in Baytown that isn't that other one.
