Everyone I interacted with was nice (trade counter & cashier I dealt with). Missing star is because one of the cashiers let some other lady cut in front of the line of people. I should have been next. I believe she didn't see that there was a line. The cashier should have sent her to the back of the line instead of ringing her up. The two other ladies she was with walked to the back of the line. Other than that, I walked away with 3 DVDs for no money out of pocket because I found some cassettes that I am no longer able to play.

This smallish shop is well worth a visit. They have plenty of free parking in the lot in front of…read morethe store or you can park for free on the street. They have vinyl, of course, and almost more used CDs than I have seen anywhere else in San Diego County. I know I am dating myself when I say I am more of a CD person but the selection was outstanding and the price ($5 per CD unless marked otherwise) was very reasonable. I would say the vinyl prices are pretty much on par with what you see elsewhere. They even have tapes and, while I lived through the tape era, you could not get my to buy one for any price. Plus, who has a tape player? They were playing outstanding music throughout our visit. I felt like I was at a concert. I can see myself coming back here with some frequency. I easily spent an hour browsing and had a good time doing so.

The moment I walked in I was greeted by towering shelves packed with out-of-print titles, first editions, and all the genres you can think of. The staff were welcoming and seemed just as excited about books as I was, offering to help track down something specific I couldn't find. The store has a genuine treasure-hunt vibe, and I walked out with a few pieces I've already been recommending to friends. If you're into books, especially the rare or collectible kind and don't mind a short drive, R Bookmark is absolutely worth the visit.

No one in the store is signed on a major label which means the music is raw and has no filters, it's pure talent. The prices are fair for the CDs and there's usually a deal going. The music is kind of loud, especially since there is the radio and the TV has videos playing. I heard that they're planning on getting headphones for the TV though. The customer service is great, very helpful and friendly. As an artist trying to put music in the store it's a great way to get your name out there, but as a customer trying to buy some CDs there isn't much variety. There is only rap and hip-hop. I mainly listen to rock so I wasn't that interested in buying a CD. I talk to the guy behind the desk and he told me they're working on getting rock but the artists/bands need to come in and put their stuff in there. It's a great location by the way. It's right next door to a hookah lounge, there's a bar in the plaza too. Nice hang out area. It's right off of the light rail and super close to ASU. Very cool place.
