This place is a maze! And it's not just books -- they have everything. It's an adventure just…read moreturning the corner -- they even have musical instruments! This is only my third time here and one of my go to places to get puzzles -- they have a whole wall of them! They seem gently used most of them, the few puzzles I have purchased there have usually an extra odd piece that doesn't belong or maybe 1-2 pieces missing -- which I think adds an extra challenge!! I think I noticed there was a deal for getting 3 puzzles but I can't recall what it is off the top of my head. Anyway, it was a bit more expensive for puzzles than the goodwill but I would say the quality is a bit better. I love a good community bookstore too -- this place is a gem and I hope people continue to support this place so they never go out of business!!

Okay, this place is amazing. It is also a complete money abosorber . If you are a collector of…read morebooks, gadgets figurines, video games, board games, anything; it has everything that you could possibly imagine it is like taking what used to be Hastings and smashing it up with like an amazing flea market, plus a collector's place for comic figures and stuff like that. We spent a grand amount of money here, very much enjoyed the entire experience. Could have spent 4 or 5 more hours there, and we had already spent 2. So definitely plan your time around going, plan your walking feet, because it is a very large place and bring only what you intend to spend!

I live close by, so thank my lucky stars! I wouldn't mind setting up shop in the gaming area and…read moreliving out the rest of my days only sleeping, eating, and gaming. The place is totally air conditioned, no windows, has flat screen tv's and consoles, comfy chairs, what more could you ask for? However, since I have a life (is a life without gaming, really a life I want to live??), I can only make it in here sporadically. Don't even get me started on the customer service, which is hands down, the friendliest customer service I have ever experienced this side of the desert, including Las Vegas. Here we were, chatting up the shop clerk, when lo and behold I find me a copy of Vampire Hunter D. Now I know the game is kinda crappy, but I had to have it for my collection of rarities. Cheaper prices than on Amazon too. So far, this is the only store I know of that stays open so late for all of your gamez (yes, I said GAMEZ) needs.

I usually don't ever make reviews but this has made me so mad at the service here. I was with my…read morefriends and I had to use the restroom and I asked the cashier and he was on his phone and told me there was no bathrooms. I then asked him where the nearest bathroom was and he looked at me and just shrugged at me. Well come to find out my friend also needed to go and he went to the back and saw the public bathroom. Really pissed off how this was handled and I had to walk 2 blocks to find a shop when all along there was a bathroom right there.

I can't think of a better bookstore than Changing Hands (both Phoenix and Tempe)…read more This location has a different layout than Tempe and I love that they're both uniquely beautiful. There are so many trinkets and gifts available to sort through. They have a best seller section right at the front which makes it easy to navigate books that are newer as well. The entire store is organized and nothing is hard to find. The staff are mostly behind the register. It's so cool that they're attached to a bar and there's a space behind where you can stay and study/drink.

While in Phoenix, I was on the hunt for postcards, and after going to one store that didn't have…read moreany, they suggested we try Changing Hands. Jackpot--they had exactly what I was looking for! First, I have to mention the book bar inside, First Draft. We didn't actually get a chance to go in, but I absolutely love the convenience of having a bookshop and bar together. And I especially love a good play on words, so if I'd had more time and hadn't had my teenager with me, I definitely would have checked it out! Anyway, I walked in and cut right to the chase, asking an employee where I could find the postcards. They pointed me in the right direction, and I found them immediately. We were on a bit of a time crunch, so I didn't get the chance to explore EVERYTHING they had, but I easily could have spent quite a while browsing the books, trinkets, gifts, and all the other fun things throughout the store. Then something caught my eye that I was SO excited about--the mini print vending machine! I had seen these on TikTok before, including ones in San Francisco, so finding one here was a really pleasant surprise. I dug around in my purse and managed to come up with enough quarters to get two prints. I absolutely loved the prints, and they made such a fun and affordable souvenir to bring home. It was one of those unexpected little finds that made the stop even better. My only complaint is that I didn't have more time to explore. I would have loved to browse the store longer and grab a drink at First Draft. Changing Hands is definitely a little gem in the Phoenix area, and I'm glad another store pointed me in their direction!
