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.

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 spoke with the owner and they've been here forever; a true institution for the small town comic geeks. The shop is kind of small and set way back in the shopping center, you actually kind of have to look pretty hard for it. The space is small so it's a little cozy but everything is well organized and cleanly lit. The owners were some of the friendliest people I've ever met; they gave my friend a couple of issues after speaking with her a bit about her tastes in comics. Honestly two of the nicest comic shop owners I've ever met. Their selection is a little limited by their space but they will happily do special orders and do folders for customers. I wouldn't expect to find a complete selection of, say, Jodorowsky here, but they've got 95% of what most people are looking for and can order the rest. Clean shop, friendly people, you can't ask for much more.

I found a few back issues I'd been missing, all at close to cover price, which was nice. I wasn't hunting for anything super rare, just some niche titles I enjoy, so it worked out. The place was a little unorganized, but to be fair, it was the weekend right after Comicpalooza in Houston, so I get it. Despite that, the guy working (maybe the owner?) was still attentive. He even noticed the kind of books I was looking for and offered to show me some extras he had behind the counter that I wouldn't have seen otherwise. Overall, it was a solid experience and I'd definitely go back.

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.
