Bookmans is into geeking out any day, anytime, and anywhere. But there’s just something about May that makes us geek out harder than ever. From video games to comics to music to movies, Bookmans is the place people go to expand your geeky horizons. It’s where we dive deep into our respective fandoms with reckless abandon. Join Bookmans in celebrating all the little things we geek out about with these free in-store events this May!

May banner image that reads Your Purchase, On Us. 2 Winners. Every Store. Every Day. For More Than 20 Years. The image features 4 people excitedly holding up their free Bookmans purchases including books, comic books, and video games.

To start, we want to geek out about something that we’ve been keeping to ourselves for a long time. Like, a long, long, long time. For more than 20 years, two random customers at every Bookmans store get their purchase for free every day. Yes, totally free and yes, every single day. For anyone keeping count, that’s roughly 87,500 customer purchases on us. That’s a whole lot of Bookmans winners, and we could not keep it to ourselves any longer! There’s nothing to sign up for, no programs to join, and no preamble whatsoever. Just 12 winners a day, every day. Will your next purchase be free? Head to your local Bookmans to find out!

Bookmans is celebrating May the 4th Be With You with you at Bookmans East and Bookmans Midtown. Bookmans Flagstaff is having an out of this world Star Wars Lightsaber Party on May 5th too! More Star Wars, you demand? You’ve got it! Bring the kids to Bookmans Mesa for Solo – A Star Wars Craft Day and celebrate the new Solo movie with an adorable craft time.

Free Comic Book Day is May 5th and all Bookmans Tucson locations are giving comic book fans 20% off all comic books and graphic novels so you can keep the Free Comic Book Day party going after you snag your exclusives at your favorite local comic book store! You can grab additional comic book deals at Bookmans Northwest, Flagstaff, or East. Bookmans Phoenix is hosting a Cosplay Workshop on May 12th and it’s the perfect place to brush up on how to cosplay like a champ before Phoenix Comic Fest!

But wait – there’s still more in store this May! Bookmans will be on hand at Phoenix Comic Fest May 24th through 27th! Stop by our booth, grab some Bookmans goodies, and enter to win some prizes! Book Man will also be strutting his stuff through the Phoenix Convention Center, so keep an eye out for him and grab a selfie (it may win you something awesome)! He’s going to be doing trivia challenges, getting social, and awarding prizes and gift cards that you can use the next time you’re at your local Bookmans store! 

Is music your geek go-to? Don’t miss the 33rd Annual Tucson Folk Festival at El Presidio Park the weekend of May 5th and 6th!
