FIND US ON:
When Bookmans was founded in 1976, compact discs didn't exist and "recycle" wasn't yet a catchphrase, let alone a way of life. For over 30 years we've operated on the assumption that books, music, and other media deserve the chance to be discovered on our shelves, not in the local landfill. Simply put, Bookmans was green before green was cool, and our customers continue to fuel our mission of providing a wide selection of reusable media at reduced prices. Buying used is good for your pocket and for the planet, so why buy new?
How We Buy
Most of what we sell is recycled directly from our customers, and we're here to help make the most of your trade-in experience. We are flexible to customer demand, current store stock, and the condition of any item that comes across the trade counter. While you shop, we sort through your deal and set aside what we can use at that time. When you're ready, we'll have an offer in Bookmans trade credit or cash waiting for you. Think the offer could be better? Feel free to ask questions and negotiate. Our offers are as flexible as our stock, and we're happy to clarify the process for you. Why not bring in those books, games, and movies you've already enjoyed, and discover something that's new to you? Our trade counter is open seven days a week, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., no appointment necessary. Find the store nearest you.
What You Get
Trading your reusable media at Bookmans not only makes sense for the planet, but for your pocket as well. Want to buy more stuff? Or looking to clean house? You have the choice of store credit or cash for those items we're able to use from your trade-in. Trade credit spends like cash in all of our stores and never expires.

Because our selection changes from day to
day and store to store, Bookmans is
always a unique shopping experience.
What We Sell
Our customers have made Bookmans what we are today - a virtual bazaar of used media, literature, collectibles and entertainment. Our stores reflect their individual neighborhoods in feel and also in the stock they carry. This unique sense of community is why we've been able to offer the largest selection of used media in Arizona for over 30 years, and why our stock is reinvented every single day. If what you buy isn't what you expected or wanted, our 100% Guarantee has you covered. Bring the item and your receipt to any Bookmans location within seven days and we'll give you a full refund. Whether you're looking for the hottest best sellers or that out of print rarity, there's something for everyone in each of our stores.
Acquisitions
If you want to sell your library, large collection or estate, contact us and we may be able to come to you. We'll treat you and your belongings with the respect and care they deserve. For in-state phone inquiries, please contact your local Bookmans. For out-of-state inquiries, please contact us at acquisitions@bookmans.com or call 949.682.5236. Due to the volume of inquiries allow a few days for us to return your message.
