Hands down best independent bookstore in Phoenix! Great selection of new and used books. If they don't have what you want in store, they'll usually order it for you. There are tons of trinkets, home decorations, and unique gifts. I really like that you can trade in old books for store credit.
Changing Hands hosts many authors, lecturers, musicians, and other important and famous people. I've been to see several authors but my favorite memory was when they hosted GRUMPY CAT!
