@bookmansValarie: A really cool drum we have for sale. Just came in. $40. Great for All Souls Procession 2009.

@bookmansValarie Our boss, Gene (Store Manager of Bookmans Speedway). Super Mario mushroom or hero in a half shell?

Thanks to Liz for pointing out that Bookmans was featured on MSN City Guide’s front page!

Yes, you could call it a chain store (six Arizona locations), but Bookmans is truly dedicated to selling and buying used books and other reusable media. When you visit a Bookmans in Phoenix, Mesa, FlagstaffTucson (three stores), you’ll find that the inventory takes cues from the local community, a significant accomplishment in these spread-out postwar boomtowns. Bookmans stores tend to be airier and brighter than your average used bookstore, and they further lighten the mood with a selection of used music, movies and video games. or
