We take pride in being Arizona’s go-to shop for all the things you geek out about. Even better than selling geek-worthy merchandise is being surrounded by it for 40 hours a week! Bookmans attracts the freaks and geeks and we take pride in that. Customers and employees alike are  drawn to us for the unique items found on our orange shelves. As we celebrate geeking out this month, it’s easy to think of your typical “geekery” such as Doctor Who, Star Trek, Marvel and DC superheros and villains, LOTR or Star Wars but when we asked our employees at Bookmans Grant what they geek out about, we found that our crew blurs the geekery boundaries. We love that and we hope you do too.
