Flavio’s Top Five Most Influential Albums
Everyone who is into music makes lists of influential albums. It’s a never-ending obsessive process. I’m willing to admit that I categorize all of my music in one way or another, but I won’t expose all my personal habits. We all have “those” albums that…

Fight Censorship: Science Is NOT Porn
No case of censorship gets us more hot under the collar than book banning. Every time a book is removed from library shelves we feel like Guy Montag goaded by Captain Beatty in Fahrenheit 451. Yeah, we know it’s dark! But we’re bookworms and how…
5 Censored Women We Love
We could publish an article a week for the rest of our existence featuring scandalously brilliant women and still not scratch the surface of their contributions. From across the entertainment spectrum women are ridiculed, demeaned and suppressed. Countless women endure hardships for letting their creative…

September at Bookmans is a time to rejoice in rebellious reading, watching, playing and listening. We celebrate the fight against censorship with a venerable free-expression feast for the senses. But what about the taste buds? As to not forget these important receptors of flavor, we…
The Force Is Strong with Star Wars Collectibles
Bookmans Flagstaff acquired a galaxy’s worth of Star Wars collectibles. From rare action figures to Star Wars fiction to lightsabers complete with sound effects, come see the out-of-this-world display in the front of our store. We love the tale from a long time ago in…
Behind the Trade Counter with Book Department Supervisor Marshall
Obviously we’re biased, but Bookmans has the best employees. Marshall, Book Department Supervisor at Bookmans Grant, is one such person. Few others can share the raunchiest video on YouTube and then politely and respectfully show a customer where Little Women is, all the while keeping…
In Defense of Disney On the Princess Effect
Disney’s female protagonists are on the receiving end of backlash for the “Princess Effect”. For many us who grew up watching and loving these films while still managing to become strong and independent people, we take issue with the idea that Disney is single handily ruining generations…
Fight Censorship with Bookmans
Bookmans combats censorship all year around, but September holds a special place in our free-expression hearts. In conjunction with Banned Books Week, we focus on the freedom to read, watch, play and listen to whatever media we want. This month, each Bookmans location hosts free…
In the Age of the Internet We are the Dreamers of Dreams
Do you find every single film, piece of music or literature lacking? We, as a generation, are apathetic about art. Growing up inundated by cookie-cutter garbage, this is the final straw. I’m going to break this down. The future can be bright. It takes effort,…
Teenaged Flavio and The Lonesome Crowded West
High school is the most awkward period in our lives. It’s where we discover who we are and fail miserably. I’ve yet to see someone who was completely comfortable with themselves at the ripe age of 18. I’m barely becoming comfortable with my own existence…
King of Kid Lit Adam Rex Talks to Bookmans

Bookmans has full-blown movie madness, an affliction we happily abide. From comedy to drama, cult classics to fantasy, sci-fi to all seven of the Fast and Furious properties, we go nuts for cinema. Our music buyers happily and repeatedly stock DVDs of fave films such…
The True Legend of Hunter S. Thompson
We presume the world is familiar with the book/movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. If not, the name Hunter S. Thompson at least strikes a chord. He’s the father of gonzo jouranlism who dove neck deep into alcohol-fueled drug binges yet still wrote masterfully…
Timelessness of Peter Pan
Watch out Harry Potter. There’s another with a prior claim to the moniker, “the boy who lived.” Not only does he never grow old, Peter Pan is a timeless classic. Starting in his 1902 novel Little White Bird, J.M. Barrie merely mentions Peter Pan. In…
