Bookmans Flagstaff is starting the exciting process of local inventory acquisition today. Since the books can't come to Bookmans, Bookmans is going to the books (and DVDs, videogames, CDs, LPs etc)! We are very excited to be making house calls to get new inventory. Armed with our outstanding and knowledgeable buyers, a trade book and checkbook, we are ready to invade your home and take away the things you would normally have to bring to us! We are looking for all the regular stuff you’ve been hording, as well as the unique treasures you've been hiding in your garage or attic. Maybe you put off bringing that large item in because it was a hassle to transport? Well, now is your chance!

Last night Bookmans Phoenix was taken over by the third graders at Madison Simis Elementary. With the help of their Art teachers, Mr. Bilger, the students created amazing paper mache sculptures that our Phoenix location will have on display all month long. During the month of March we are celebrating all types of arts & crafts. Paper mache is just among the many! Each student was asked to create a sculture of a new species that combines the qualities of tow animals. They also drew an illustrations of their animal and wrote an article explaining the fascinating facts about each of their new found creations!

Yesterday it started snowing again. Maybe its the loss of our store due to snow or the fact that I haven't seen my deck out back for six months, but I'm pretty over the snow. This is the time of year where I make my winter threat, it goes something like this, “If it's still snowing on (insert date here-usually the next Friday or Saturday) I swear, I'm leaving this town! I mean it. I'm going to move! I'm going back to San Diego, where it NEVER snows.” This is usually stated (shouted with choice expletives sprinkled in) while peeling off layers of wet, icy clothing or struggling with boots. Mother Nature, like all moms, always ignores this threat, then proceeds to test my resolve.

Bookmans is truly an amazing company. I didn't plan to start by saying that, but I feel as though it is something I have to say before I can even justify saying anything else about the company. The way Bookmans has jumped in and saved the employees of the Flagstaff store is nothing short of spectacular, and I cannot express the extent my gratitude.

What should be mentioned first in this review is that Dr. Mario is an old game, nearly as old as the video game addict writing this article. As such this game has to be taken as it is, its not one of the new flashy games with 3D graphics and enough color and depth to make your head cave in; this game is a classic.

Rain or shine, thousands of Phoenicians came out to visit the 2010 M7 Street Fair! Awarded with the honor of “Best Neighborhood Street Festival” by the Phoenix New Times in 2009, the 9th Annual Melrose on 7th Street Fair was full of fun, family, and community! Starting on 7th Avenue and Indian School everyone walked down the street filled with a local market of artists, food, children's activities, live music, street performers, and a collectible car show. Walking down the street I spotted Kimber Lanning of Local First Arizona, Kathy Cano-Marillo, the “Crafty Chica” and local celebrity Brad Perry performing live music in front of Two Hippies Breakfast Joint. I tried so hard to resist the mouth watering smell of kettle corn, lemonade, and pulled pork sandwiches.
