I drive by this place twice a day on my way to and from work. For 2 1/2 years. And I'd never stopped in until yesterday, when the books on the sidewalk outside called my name on my way to Trader Joes.
This place is amazing! I had no idea it was so big. I love anywhere with books, but when you have cute gifts, trinkets and other fun stuff, it makes it even better!
I only picked up one book, but I wish I would have had the money (and the shelf space!), I would have gotten a dozen more. I will also have to take more time next time to read the staff recommendations, which there were a lot. Excellent touch!
While I get that it's a great bookstore, I don't understand why everyone thinks it's the best. More than once, they've not had newer books I was looking for (that should have been easy enough to find) and the staff seem elitist and stuffy, as if I'm not "Green" enough to shop there, and were never around when I actually needed help.
This is a great place if you're into, for lack of a better word, Hippy things. But not the non-materialistic Hippy, more like the "I have so much money that I don't need to buy mass produced things" Hippy.
The best part about this store is that they have a ton of events and seem to be really involved in the community. They also have a ton of unique and/or handmade gift items - a huge portion of the store is dedicated to this - but make sure to have a lot of disposable cash because it's all expensive.
Besides events or out of sheer boredom, I wouldn't go out of my way to shop here.
Hands down my favorite bookstore in Tempe! I picked up a couple of unique cookbooks here, "Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker" and "A Passion for Cheese". Better yet, they were both marked down. It is definitely worth perusing the outdoor sales tables outside of this bookstore for great bargains.
I also showed up for an event here and got a book signed by the author. The book was "Bacon: A Love Story", which made for a great gift for my friends who are both chefs. They even had Wildflower Bread Company next door, provide some complimentary bacon-based goodies!
The number of knick-knacks and gift items that you can find throughout the store make it a worthwhile shopping destination, especially if you are prone to shipping care-packages to friends and just need those two or three wacky items to round out the box.
Love this place. Will be a repeat customer forever. Especially if they provide BACON!
I love this bookstore. I took my one-year old yesterday because we had to get out of the house while we had people there working. I needed something to DO with her, and it had to be close to someplace good for lunch... Changing hands was PERFECT. Our morning went like this: My little one playing on the train table (literally ON it... ugh, kids!), up the step to look pull a dozen books off the shelf, look through them, then back to the train table to throw everything onto the floor with an "uh-oh" as each one dropped, back up the steps to check out their stuffed animals and toys, all the while I'm doing damage control and cleaning up after her, as I scan the shelves for some used books at my step daughter's reading level... SUCCESS! I found a cute early reader for her for $1.50! After our lunch at Wildflower, I came back to Changing Hands and got some adorable thank you notes to send out for my daughter's first birthday party. All in all, it was a fun, productive morning and I can't wait to spend another morning here with my daughter.
Whenever I walk into Changing Hands, I get this happy little butterfly feeling I can't explain. I am definitely a kid in a candy shop....No more like Charlie in Wonka's Chocolate factory. This is the most delightful bookstore in Phoenix in my opinion. They have a nice selection of new and used books and lots of fun unique etc. items for purchase. I have found some semi rare stuff here. The staff is soo frickin friendly, it's ridiculous. I just feel at home when I am here and never want to leave.
Changing Hands has been one of my favorite book/gift shops for years. Last night a friend and I attended a fabulous writer's event that featured several writers, illustrators and an agent. They offer many free amazing events. If you haven't checked out this little gem make sure you head over and check out their website for events.
They carry a wide variety of books including heavily discounted used. You can bring in your old books for credit too.
Changing Hands Bookstore is easily one of, if not my favorite bookstore anywhere in North America.
The atmosphere once you walk in is welcoming. The staff is cool and friendly and they don't hover while you search through their many aisles. You can find books on any topic ranging from organic gardening to paganism to the best sellers. The prices on the new books aren't great, but their selection of used books makes up for it. All the books are in excellent condition and they have a huge selection of art related books near the back (at least it was in the back of the store last time I visited).
They have a lot of in-store events, from discussions, book groups and author signings.
It's a great place to hang out, read a book, smell incense, chat with other book lovers and just chill.
This is a prime example of why this website is so useful. I didn't know anything about this store until reading some of these reviews. The atmosphere was very cool and they seemed to have decent prices on used books. I plan to go back when I have some more time to browse. I also need to bring a list with me because I completely choke under the pressure whenever I go to book stores or music stores and can never remember what I wanted.
I came in this time to pick up "When You Are Engulfed In Flames" by David Sedaris for a reasonable price. I suppose I may have paid more at a Barnes & Noble or something. Had to put back "Pride & Prejudice & Zombies" until next time.
I believe this will become my new bookstore, especially since Hoodlums is next door.
Went there for the first time yesterday to buy a ticket for an upcoming Jon Krakauer lecture/signing (woo!)
I was totally impressed.... it pleasantly reminded me of my favorite book store back home. The layout of the store is really fun... and easy to navigate.... and the staff is SO HELPFUL!!! and SO NICE!!! :)
Unfortunately I was on my lunch break so I didn't have much time to kill.... but I'll definitely be going back!! :)
While the prices may not be as good as what you can find at Bookman's they seem to have a steadier stock, better quality trade ins and loads of non-book goodies for diversions. Where else can I spend an afternoon picking up Nag Champa, cookbooks, AND cat butt air freshener for the car, in one place before grocery shopping? That's right, very few places (please refer me to more places with novelty air fresheners, they appeal to my shallowly buried inner 13 year old).
It is better organized than Bookman's Mesa, and feels cleaner, blah blah women's restroom is nice, etc, etc, but it boils down to this for me:
They both have their place in the buying habits of frugal bibliophiles. I shop at Bookman's for myself; and buy gifts or pay close to full retail price for books I absolutely need to find at Changing Hands. I have found more rare, hard to acquire anthropology, archaeology, and foreign language books at Bookman's Mesa which is why they are my favorite, but I won't knock any stars off of Changing Hands for any deficiencies that are more of a function of their customer base's trade-ins than anything.
Being in the Trader Joe's plaza is a huge bonus as it provides me with an excuse to hit up Changing Hands more frequently than my checking account would really appreciate.
What's the big deal? Atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, local products and good selection. I shop at Amazon and at Changing Hands.
I really think this is a great place. I buy most of my gifts from here, I like to give books and local artist's stuff. The store is a really jewel in valley because of its local flavor and its commitment to keeping Tempe smart and informed. There are very few bookstores as good as this one in America anymore, clean, stocked and popular.
And being attached to a Wildflower is good for anybody.
All I can say is whats the big deal!?!?
Why does everybody love Changing Hands? I went there yesterday and ehhh, its just okay. The selection didnt wow me; heres a tip a book store with a great selection of new and used books, http://amazon.com. Bam, I know, I just blew your mind. Some of the reviews talk about how its so clean inside. Wait a clean bookstore? Because my biggest problem in bookstores is finding transients shooting up in the stacks, ummmm no. I have never been in a "filthy" bookstore (if you dont count zorbas, but thats a whole other story)
Overall Changing Hands had a poor selection and was mediocre at best.
I am a firm proponent of supporting your local businesses and, as a high-strung English major with a soft spot for all things little-known, I love coming to Changing Hands and perusing the staff picks and recent independent releases. I am one of those hobnobbing lit snobs who will buy books - in bulk - while suffering an advanced state of cultural panic. I hope that this happens to you, too.
The staff are unreasonably wonderful and have, on multiple occasions, actually read my mind. I've walked up to the counter muttering vague details about a work, without recalling its title or author, and not only have they known exactly what I was talking about, they were able to suggest additional resources for my random, tangential (possibly non-academic) research. If I could carve a niche near the short fiction anthology section, I would. And they would have a hell of a time getting rid of me.
the best metaphysical and spiritual section in the valley!
At first I was shy from the workers there because they are really young, but once again, keeping an open mind opned mine from their outstanding recommendations!!!!!
I was made to feel very comfortable and the prices were OK as well - big plus.
The bathroom for women is indeed the bees knees LOL!
THe Bakery next door and Trader Joes down the way makes this a GOLDMINE.
RUn do not walk!!
I read. A LOT. I am what you could call, "a nerd." I know, I know, big surprise right? Yeah well, I have always been a bookworm and I will always love a book store.
This bookstore has EVERYTHING. New and used books, gifts, cards, even purses. It is also an amazing venue for speakers.
I love, love, love this store. If I could move into any store in the valley I'd pick this one. I would spend all day every day reading all the books in the store. If Trader Joes would just walk across the parking lot and deliver food to me, I'd be set.
Due to ASU keeping all their events under lock and key, CHB has great events and worth it to be on their mailing list to nail an autographed book for the holidays, even if you can't make it.
Their Page 23 selection is outstanding,so take a gander there as well-and check out their MySpace while their website is being built: http://www.myspace.com....
Overall, a good bookstore, but just too hippie/mainstream pleasing for my taste. Also, gay/lesbian (queer), womens issues, "green", arts texts, cinema/music, erotica- pretty lacking in turnover but the cookbook section is pretty sweet. Also showcases cool new childrens books.
But I would love to see more indie bookstores in the area promoting edgier texts and less "spiritual" doo-dads.

Pretty much the only independent bookstore in the area that I enjoy going to-the author appearences… Read more »
We live a mile away and visit often, but if it were across town it would still be worth the trip. Independent booksellers don't lack for challenges, but this store meets them all.
They have great visiting author events, a wide selection of stuff i enjoy reading from the shelf. Sometimes I buy stuff, too.
In fact, they are not only a book shop but a gift shop in our neighborhood, because the wind chimes, cards, curios etc are usually top notch.
These folks really know their stuff, and with Wildflower Bread Company next door, some family members can eat while others browse and buy.

This is the best bookstore in the entire country - and I say that after spending thousands of bucks in as many as bookshops as I can get too. Why do I like it so much? They're local, they put used and new books right next to each other on the same shelf, have consistently good author events, kid friendly, attached to a good place to eat, have clean bathrooms, excellent staff, good website, great selection of gifts, and always have sale books, plus they are located 3 doors down from another smaller used book shop and everyone gets along! Then of course, they are in the same strip mall as a Trader Joe's with parking, a few good restaurants, a Walgreen's, SteinMart, Baskin Robbins, a day care...really strip malls are never this good. I just hope this recession doesn't alter the oasis.
Note: Another reviewer compared it to City Lights in SF - I really think Changing Hands is better. Maybe it's because Changing Hands is accessible and has an extremely helpful staff without being pretentious.
I think Bonnie G's review says it all.
I'm glad that there is a place like this in the valley. Lord knows this place could use just one or two real legit indie bookstores.
But...this store could also push the envelope a little more. Their women's section pales in comparison to their eastern spirituality section - which I get it you're in Tempe, Arizona - not Brooklyn. But still...there is an opportunity to educate the community on lots of things. I do like that they have lots of events and lots of variety in their events. I know that a business here still needs to know their audience and I think Changing Hands does that fairly well.
To reiterate, I have criticisms but overall I am really, truly grateful for this place. I loved customer appreciation day on the 1st. I like that I can get coffee next door. I like that there is a Trader Joe's within 100 feet. And I wish they had more of the shirts that say "Eat, Sleep, Read." for purchase.
Very good store, in my book. :)
I have enjoyed the exception range of authors they have come into speak.
I think they do a great job for keeping an exceptional selection and prices.
It is in the same center as Trader Joe's it is a good two stop shop.
I recommend stopping in with a few hours to browse or check out the website to meet an author. could be a great cheap date :)

Hmmm. What can I say about Changing Hands that hasn't already been said. It gets great reviews for a reason because it is what it is - a fantastic independent, neighborhood bookstore. It's locally owned and those local owners get a whole lot of coin out of me every year, especially at the holidays. I love that I can walk there from my house. I love that it's attached to Wildflower Bread Co. I love that they have as many of the eclectic titles as they do the mainstream sellers. And, thanks to the staff picks, I discovered books like "Water for Elephants" and the "English Major" last year.
If you're expecting a pristine store, get off your high horse. The shelves get a bit messy by the end of the day (no where more so than in the kid's books) because this is one of those stores where patrons will sit down on the floor and peruse the first few pages of a book to decide if it's one they want to buy. The staff, however, is always quick to help you find something in the clutter.
They host myriad author readings, including John McCain and Abigail Thomas. They also put together events for major releases of new books, like a midnight sale of the final book in the Harry Potter series.
If I should be so lucky, I would want to own/operate a book store like Changing Hands when I retire ... got about 20 years of visiting the store between now and then so maybe I can learn a few of their secrets to success.
I am incredibly impressed with this book store and I didn't even purchase anything yet. After bike riding around on a Saturday we stopped in to hang out and look around. The staff was awesome, giving recommendations and proving how well rounded and knowledgeable they were about the authors and selections. I hadn't been to a used and new bookstore in a long time and I forgot how much I loved the varying selections.
I was able to sit and read and look and magazines. I was always asked if I was still doing okay by employees.
The fact that I was not in a commercialized Barnes and Noble or Borders was refreshing. I noticed there was book signings, lower prices, interesting staff choices, and more obscure items. All these things separate Changing Hands as being friendly and more approachable. I really can't wait to get back and look around some more...
I love the atmosphere and the selection. They offer great author interactions and classes, and the staff is friendly.
What's most notable about Changing Hands is all the well known authors they've had for speaking engagements/book signings. The list is quite impressive!
The frequent stamp cards are nice, as are the great selection of books, but I find myself drifting over to the gift section more often than not. I especially like their great selection of unique cards, hand painted wooden things, bookmarks, beautiful journals, and Solari bells. I think I've spent just as much on cute little things for myself as I have books!
It's probably not worth reviewing Changing Hands, since everyone else already has... but I can't help myself.
As far as the selection -- well, I've seen better at other indie bookstores. BUT most of those bookstores don't carry new AND USED books. And that, in my opinion, is what makes Changing Hands rock.
And, unlike a lot of other used bookstores, Changing Hands actually buys books back at fair prices -- and sells their used book inventory at low prices, too. The last time I came here, I brought three huge boxes of books. I expected the workers to get really annoying with me for bringing in so much - but they were nothing but polite. And, even better, I got a $98 store credit! I was definitely not expecting that!
I also love the staff's choices of books. There are always some great finds in there.
I've have been a long time customer here.
Not necessarily for the books, but they have great little things to get for people as gifts. They can be pretty expensive. I really like their journals, and i dont think their book selection is that good, but i'm not sure though. You could probably find a better buy online, like http://amazon.com. If you want some crap to clutter your house you could find that here too, haha. Forget the books i will continue to go here for its great gift ideas anyways! Yay, Changing Hands!
Simply put, this is a perfect little independent and locally owned bookstore with a very pleasant and knowledgeable staff. They have new and used books, and you'll find people getting comfortable and reading just about anywhere they can find a spot. They have fair prices and most likely take used book donations.
I highly recommend. If only I had more time to read.
I'm an avid reader and ever since I visited City Lights Books in San Francisco, I was desperate to find a good independent bookstore in the East Valley. Although Changing Hands is not quite City Lights, it comes in close second. Here's why (+ positive, - negative, -/+ neutral):
+ They are organized. Nothing Like Bookman's.
+ They have wonderful customer service. I love everyone that works here. They are always willing to help you find a book you'll enjoy. Plus, they're knowledgeable, unlike B&N employees.
+ Book signings here are bomb. I saw Stephanie Meyer shortly after she published Twilight. It was legit.
+ PUNCH CARD!! Any bookstore that has a punch card is a friend in my book. I actually have a full one right now that I need to utilize to get my 10% off!
-/+ I like Paradise Bakery, but I don't like them hitched to a bookstore. It can be noisy sometimes.
Everytime I enter this store, I enter into a state of bliss. It appeals to all my senses. I love the smell of the incense and the books themselves. Everything I see I want to touch (luckily I can control this impulse). It borderlines on obnoxious how much I love it here.
Luckily, they have great stamper cards and teacher discounts so that I can feed my addiction at semi-reasonable prices. They have some books that the chains don't have, and seating areas.
Wildflower Cafe is right next store, so after securing purchases, a muffin is a perfect ending to a sensory book-buying experience.
Changing Hands is the perfect bookstore. These types of places just don't seem to exist, but Changing Hands has managed to survive.
Allow me to begin by saying that this bookstore does not have anywhere near the selection of a Barnes and Noble (or probably a Borders, but I don't go into that garbage store and cannot be sure). With that said, there are a few reasons to shop here.
First, and most importantly, they have well priced used books. I believe most of their used books are $7.50. They are also all in pristine condition. Now, $7.50 used isn't always that great for a paperback. You can do better online quite often. What's notable, however, is that their hardcovers are typically $7.50 as well. This is a fantastic price and is hard to beat.
Second, the location of CH is perfect. This is one of the best plazas out there. Wildflower, Trader Joe's, Mac's, Jamba Juice--you can't go wrong.
Third, and finally, Changing Hands is a local store, and many good things come with that. The staff is extremely friendly. From what I can tell, they are all hardcore book nerds and you have to love that. The store also has a very welcoming feel to it. Once you're in, you will realize how extremely friendly everyone is. No, not just the staff--the customers. Everyone is talkative, friendly, and just seems to be happy. They are all indulging in one of their hobbies in one of the most inviting stores I have ever seen. Someone will ask the staff "who wrote such and such?". The staff will almost assuredly spot a regular and ask him or her "who wrote such and such". If he doesn't know, someone else will probably pipe up. It's this type of thing that makes it a great store. Overall, it just has a great atmosphere.
The only negative comment I can make about Changing Hands is how hippy it is. There's a ton of books on spiritual techniques, new age methods, buddhism, and whatever the hell else hippies/hipsters think makes them look more cultured. Of course, this just goes along with the Tempe, Trader Joe's, and book reading demographic, so I can't blame them for meeting the inherent demand.
My preferred bookstore, they have a very good selection of books on Celtic Paganism. The atmosphere is excellent, staff always helpful, prices are good, and, the place is ACTUALLY organized. You can occasionally find some great finds. Recently I found a old leather bound version of To Kill A Mockingbird for $8. I always tour the discount tables out front featuring some great discounted books. Sometimes if you find a title you like you can dig the stack and find a trade in version, which will save you a bit. There is plenty of parking, but getting a spot close can be challenging on popular days.
Changing Hands is, hands-down, my favorite bookstore here in the valley! Oh, alright, it's my favorite over B&N and Border's. Haven't tried Bookman's, yet. It is, truly, such a treat to stop by here everytime. I really must come here more often. I love the occasional book readings/signings held here. My first-ever was Gilbert's _Eat Pray Love_. How fun!! Another nice event was the complimentary viewing of "An Inconvenient Truth." I'd wanted to see that movie for many months, and it was nice to finally view it here and then have a Q&A session afterwards.
I enjoy the clusters of privacy and gift-sections to be found throughout the store. Having Wildflower Bread Co. next door is quite convenient, although I always seemed to have just dined whenever I visit CHB... I'll have to make it a point to dine at Wildflower before shopping for books on my next visit!
This place is SO much better than Bookmans!! Everyone was very friendly and the place was clean. I found all of the books I was looking for. They just changed their policy for trade in. They will only give you store credit, no cash. That's fine by me! it is right next to Wildflower, a bar and Trader Joes woo hoo!!
I always go just to clear my mind, but always end up buying another book :O. It is just too tempting. I've got really good deals on hard copy used books in almost new conditions! And they have so many interesting new books and there is always some author or an activity going on. It is very much like a home place.
I love this bookstore! Used and new titles at affordable prices, helpful staff, lots of fun gifty items. I love bookstores where the fiction section has large tables filled with great suggestions - I don't think you can leave this place without buying something. There's a great religion/spirituality/new age section (I even got to see some random dude meditating and blocking the hallway. You know it's a great bookstore when there are men criss-cross-apple-sauce deep in thought blocking the isles.) The bookstore has a very grass-roots-helping-local-businesses-succeed atmosphere. I will buy here (and trade in) often.
I never knew how great Arizona could be until I visited my brother in Tempe last week.
Changing Hands is fun, I ended up spending around $25 for a used book, a cute bookmark, a plush hamster, and some cards with cupcakes on them.
They get major bonus points for carrying nifty tools such as the spaghetti fork that twirls for easy eating. If you need to write thank you cards they have a great selection to choose from.
My cashier was very nice, and the atmosphere was comfortable. I think some of the customers had been setting up camp in there for most of the morning. The best part is you don't need to worry about packing rations since they have a cafeteria attached to the store.
After reading about this place here on Yelp, I decided it was time to wander into this marvelous establishment once and for all, and check it out. I was in the market to purchase a book, and thought why not wander in here to see if they had it or not.
I arrived, and immediately I fell in love. Warm, clean enviroment that had lots to view. I got lost in the front half of the store with all of the cool stuff that they had, with the cute magnets, funny tins for change, candles and knick knacks for sale.
I wandered to the back of the store where the books were and was happy with the selection that they had. Organized like a traditional "big box" bookstore, everything was easy to locate and appealing to the eye.
I ended up going to the service counter in the back to see if they could locate the book that I wanted, and was helped by a nice guy who not only paid attention to what I was saying, but walked me to the area that my book should have been. Unfortunately, they did not have it in stock, but I was told that it could be ordered if I was interested.
Staff was great, store is clean and organized, and I was happy to see that they sold more then books. Its also attached to a wildflower bakery if you would like to grab a bite to eat or drink. I ended up grabbing a muffin and sat in the back reading my own book that I brought with me for the Yelpers book club at the end of the month.
This place is worth going out of your way for, and I highly reccomend it. Great independant location.
I spend too much money at Changing Hands. I love the tea pots, the Annie Taintor garb, and most of all the books. Shopping here makes me feel good about myself and the "You're supporting a local business. Go you!"-esque signs add to my smug sense of satisfaction.
Beyond that, this place is just cool. Between book readings, story time, and book clubs, there's always something wonderful going on. The stamp cards are helpful for those of us addicted and the selection never fails to impress.
High-five, Changing Hands.
I really like changing hands bookstore. I have sold books, bought books, and sat around reading books. They have cute little gifts such as wind chimes and journals. Next door you can have a yummy lunch at Wildflower or go sell/buy some cd's at Hoodlums. Great location!
Love , love this place!
The oldest and largest independent bookstore in the state!
The staffers are dedicated to making reading cool again. They are knowledgeable and can help you find the book you are looking for even if you give them measly clues, like: "...ummm...the cover is blue, and I think the author's last name starts with a P...sounds Indian."
How? Well, it's obvious that they are a well-read group whose literary tastes range from,chick-lit to teen fantasy, from bestselling novels to graphic novels, from self-help to erotica, from political to the new classic children's picture books.
The store also hosts amazing authors who probably didn't even consider including Phoenix in their book tour 7 years ago. They've had authors like Michael Moore, Sen. Hillary Clinton, Diana Gabaldon, Christopher Moore (who's coming back, BTW), Malcolm Gladwell, Tony Bourdain, Byron Katie, Madeliene Albright, Sen. John McCain to name a few. And most recently, they've hosted Sen. Barack Obama and Pres. Carter (boy , that was a wild one!). Getting those authors into the Valley is Changing Hands' way of promoting reading, especially to the younger set.
Even more, CHB is a founding member of Arizona Chain Reaction, a coalition that supports independently-owned businesses who try to educate the community about how buying locally can benefit the community. They don't condemn big businesses at all. They simply encourage consumers to support small, independent businesses equally. I hear that their PR person gives free lectures to owners of small businesses on how to market and publicize their businesses.
I love it because I get to meet a very diverse group of people. It's fun chatting with an ASU archeology professor about which picture books kids are going for; or explaining to a North Scottsdale woman what Tibetan singing bowls are; or describing how the chocolate rods (from Granny's Chocolates, of course) taste like to a professional ballet dancer; or sharing the embarassment of appearing "big" on TV to a homeless person; or reminiscing about the music you grew up listening to with aging hippies...and yes, the pseudo-hippies as well.
Now located in suburban Tempe (driven away by high costs, etc. from the downtown area), the store seems to have kept their customer base through the years and changes. What's even more wonderul is that, now, they have managed to cater to the younger crowd, the hipsters, and even to the 30-something suburban women who might be afraid to encounter (gasp!) dread-locked, patchouli-scented boys and girls.
And although CHB staffers are the most educated group of people I know (I would say: 70% have one or more Bachelor's degrees, maybe 10% have their Master's degrees, and the remaining 20% are still working on it), they are not perfect. But they are hardworking, funny, creative, and know how to party well.
I know all this because I practically live there and I truly dig the place! Just have them page me.
