Sort of a blue stocking store which if you're from New England you know what I mean but since this…read moreis Texas I'm pretty sure you don't which is amazing that there is a bookstore in Texas since most Texans would rather not read but those of us who still like reading usually are blue stockings. See my tautology. If you read you would know what I did and what a tautology is. I'm pretty sure the clerks know this word. Which is good for a bookstore clerk. Best collection of used hardcover John Irving novels and second best collection of used cliff notes in the state. I wonder if John Irving knows what a tautology is. Maybe he would use a cliff note to find out. Either way they probably have it here used.

Great shop; reasonable rates; tons of selection! I didn't find what I needed this time but that…read morejust gives me an excuse to come back and try again.

Pretty cool store! This was my first time in one. I e seen them before but never went in…read more They sell a lot of records, DVD's, books and more. It appears as though you can sell your items or trade them. My daughter bought two comic books. I just looked around although I saw a record I wanted. I have 5 that I've bought since being in TX. That's enough lol!

This review is mostly a copy of another review of a different location for this exact same chain…read morestore. As a bit of a lifelong closeted fantasy and pop culture fan, I love that this store has come along. I just wish it had been around when I was a teen. This store (and any location, really) is fully loaded. I'm going to let this review be taken over by a huge list here that still doesn't capture everything. - tarot and oracle decks and books - spellbooks, metaphysical, witchcraft, runes - goblets, mugs, candles, sage, palo santo, incense, wind chimes, crystals - buttons, pins, keychains, jewelry, stickers - vinyl and CDs, used and new, and players - musical instruments (ukuleles, guitars, and more) - t-shirts, hats, backpacks, and socks - pop toys, squish mallows, stuffed animals - audio books and movie DVDs - majority of the store is books of all kinds - always worth a look at the clearance section - puzzles, board games, tabletop trading card games like MTG and Pokemon - children's toys, Legos, Nerf, action figures - calendars, planners, journals, inspirational wall hangings - manga, anime, comics (DC, Marvel, and more) - video games for all systems current and past - Fred and Kikkerland knickknacks - mystery mini boxes, pouches, gaccha collectibles - antique/linen postcards - fantasy dragon and fairy statues - fandom specific collectibles (Harry Potter, Disney, and more) The store seems in constant disarray simply from the fact that there is so much variety. Literally nothing is fully alphabetized, and asking someone to look up an item you're searching for is mostly pointless beyond them being able to tell you it's most likely "somewhere" in the store. This is my biggest gripe here. However, if you're accustomed to searching through piles of random objects at places like thrift stores and secondhand stores, you may enjoy going on the hunt at this store too. They buy an array of pre-owned items here too. But worth noting that if you sell here in the morning then realize you forgot something and come back, they will not buy from you again in the same day. They lose stars for that inconvenience factor, too. I would imagine that based on need, they will buy anything that they would sell. I've personally sold Magic the Gathering cards here before. Value given in store credit is higher than cash, but be prepared to feel ripped off either way. Prices on used items are decent, but on new it can often be huge compared to buying online ($60 vs $35 in one instance). This is otherwise a great store to burn time in reading and browsing.

I wish our (Loveland, CO) B&N was this big. I stopped by the "Current Affairs" racks and was…read morefascinated to see that the shelves are stocked entirely differently than my local B&N. Yes, there is some overlap, but not much. If "what sells" is guiding the stocking of each store, it reveals that the good people of Lubbock have a lot more common sense. Let's just say that Thomas Sowell isn't a big seller where I live.

The manager is getting an incredibly bad rap on these reviews…read more Every single time I have gone to Varsity, the staff has been extremely courteous and gone out of there way to help me in the process of finding my books. They have always had their books on time. Secondly, when I've had an issue they have helped me out. As a law student, I have at various times needed to keep a book rental longer than the term stated. If I notified Varsity, this has not been a problem. Go to Varsity for your books. Read their policies...they are very explicit and up front about them. If you have issues they are willing to work with you on them.
