| - Never thought I'd find anything better than Bookman's. But then I found.. well, Bookman's. See I been goin' to the Mesa store for years now and never complained once, but lately, I don't know, even with people bringing in new trade every day, seems like the shelves have been stocked with the same old stuff. Not to mention they've been turning down my same old box of stuff for a while now - used to be I brought it in enough times they'd eventually take it off my hands.. So I ventured out to the Phoenix store yesterday.
Wow.
I must admit, I was a little confused at first - the layout's a little disorienting.. Trade counter's to your right when you walk in (drop your stuff off around the back of the counter) and the Cashier counter is to your left. Books straight ahead, Media to the left. The Media section - that's what the wow was for. Probably twice the size of the Mesa store. Usually I stroll through the CDs and DVDs - 10, 15 minutes maybe. I was there for an hour and a half yesterday. Couldn't believe the selection of CDs, DVDs, Laser Discs, LPs, VHS, cassette tapes, video games, Books on CD/tape.. Other thing that's cool - they've got a toys/games room for action figures, board games, puzzles (so many puzzles)..
I do have one other update for Bookman's fans in general (noticed the same thing at the other store) - apparently they're not sticking to that old A Trade (media), B Trade (books) thing anymore - used to be you got different levels of credit depending on what you brought it, but not anymore - it's all A Trade now, good for anything in the store.
And yes, this store has an armoir full of porn, too ;)
