I wanted to get a thank you gift for my oldest child's teacher and found out that this place was a…read morefavorite. This has also become a favorite of my child's and I can understand why. My child has a strong passion for gaming of all manners and this store caters to it perfectly. I took my oldest out with me here for our first visit to purchase a gift card for his teacher and have him pick out something for his birthday, if there was anything. This store had a great selection and variety of merchandise and a dedicated area for table top games. This dedicated area does required a fee paid to access and staff can explain more if interested. The gentleman that help my child and I was so welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. In addition to purchasing the gift card, I also bought my child's first die set of his own. If you have someone who has strong interests in gaming - especially games like Dungeons and Dragons, Magic The Gathering, etc. - this is a great place to purchase gifts. Thank you staff for the warm welcome! We will be back!

I…read moreinitially heard about the shop on Tik Tok and when I visited for the first time, I knew I would keep coming back. I mainly come to pick up single cards. I like looking through the cheaper singles boxes and sifting through the selection and picking the ones I like. As someone who has just gotten back into collecting, it's fun seeing the variety of cards (modern and vintage) they have. Their singles are also priced fairly at market value - whenever I check Collectr or TCGplayer their prices are always equal and even sometimes a little under. The employees are always willing to help too. They also have sealed product at market price, but I usually stay away from those since market is a little too steep for me these days.

This is my third visit to the store, and I think it might be my new favorite in the valley. Every…read moretime I've come in, I have had an excellent experience, and the staff are so friendly and happy to help no matter what you need. Finding the store is really easy, and there is a ton of parking. The store itself is pretty large and has a good variety of singles, slabs, and sealed product. They have a big range from the newest modern sets to vintage and everything in between. Today I had a gut feeling that I needed to go down and pay a visit to my favorite store. I was helped by a couple of employees I had never worked with before, and they were incredible. They were so kind and patient with all of the cards I wanted to look at, and I never felt rushed or like I was a burden to them. I found so many things that I wanted, and I even stayed after the store was closed, and even then, there was never any sense of urgency that I needed to leave. One thing that I really respect about this card shop is their pricing. For their singles, anytime I were to check pricing online, their prices were consistent with what was fair. Not once did I encounter cards that were grossly inflated, and above market. So I really appreciate the honesty and integrity in their pricing. Needless to say, I can't recommend the shop highly enough. If you're in the area or looking for a great shop to visit, this is the one!

This is my favorite Samurai location thanks to Alex! He's personable and has great recommendations…read more He's more than happy to help assist you with anything you're looking for. This location almost always has the issues or trades in stock that I'm looking for. If what you're looking for isn't in stock, they can order it for you and save it in store or let you know if it's available at any of their other locations. I love their large $1 bin for issues and how they organize their new issues for the week, trades from DC/Marvel, mangas, and dedicated kids section. Samurai is somewhere you'd definitely want to come back to every week.

This is probably one of the worst places with customer service I ever seen. Acted like I disrespected the whole place for saying this product can be found cheaper at another place, told me to go there and buy it and walked away lol. Fat guy who works there needs to understand how customer service work, it's one thing to say they aren't able to drop the price, but don't speak to me as if I wasnt interested in buying products. If this was 2 years ago, I would have crashed out. Walked away from me before I even had a chance to say it's all good, I'll just grab something else

A really great selection of all kinds of books, music, video games, and more! Everything here is community-based, with the exception of selections here and there that are brand-new. So a nice way to support buying secondhand items from Phoenix folks, being more sustainable and supporting a smaller business, and overall just a good spot to come explore! I've found lots of cool vintage magazines, vintage video games, some vinyls, and a number of books here on 19th. I definitely recommend this location!

How haven't a written a review of this place!…read more I love an establishment that presents itself as a home for the community. I walk in to Bookman's and often find displays that are Arizona focused in a way that makes you feel and know this place is home town friendly. No big box impersonal feels here! I frequent this store and stop in just because I'm passing by. As an avid reader, I read about 50 books a year, Bookman's is a great place to buy paper books at a cheaper price. My favorite part about local shops like Bookman's is how they don't shy away from displaying banned books all year long! I have to read at least one banned books a month! There's gotta be something in the banned books they don't want us to know and I'm determined to read as many as possible. Interestingly enough, this store is full of "entertainment treasures" too. Music, musical instruments and even gaming equipment can be purchased here. The only thing missing is a social lounge with a coffee bar. We'd probably go even more often if there were a coffee bar inside. Return Factor: 100%
