Thanks to Bookmans customers across the Valley who selected Bookmans Phoenix/Bookmans Mesa as the Readers' Choice for Best Bookstore in AZCentral.com's Best poll! A record number of readers nominated and voted this year and the list of runners-up in this category is a formidable group of local and national stores indeed. We're honored!

We think AZCentral.com sums up the Bookmans experience nicely:

Thousands of used hardcovers, paperbacks, comic books, CDs, DVDs and video games can be found at Bookmans, where you can pay in cash or trade-in credit. Sure, it's a great money-saving option for cost-conscious times. But more than that, in this era of digital downloads for iPods and Kindles, there's something about this old-fashioned form of "file sharing" that reminds us that books and music aren't just personal entertainment but a cultural dialogue - creations of the imagination that move from mind to mind as they're passed from hand to hand.
