This is what a bookstore should be! Intimate, with lots of book nooks, a huge variety of new and used books, and fun gift shopping for the friend you dragged with you that isn't much of a reader!.The kids section has a good selection that is ranked by age groups, so it's easy to find the perfect book for any aged reader. My 6 year old granddaughter picked out 7 books ( and a sticker book) and wanted to read them there.I have also attended some of the book readings that are held from both famous and not so famous authors.

I love “Changing Hands!” I have to be really buzzed about a place or thing to review it & this store does it for me. Their selection of books, cards and gifts is top notch and so interesting. “Changing Hands” has an eclectic mix of merchandise you won’t want to miss!

The best independent bookstore I know of in the East Valley. So charming. It's been a part of our lives for 25-years.

Wide variety of books & book related items. A great little area for the family to sit and read or color. Nice, clean, calm & the associates are friendly & knowledgeable. They genuinely want to assist customers in any way they can. I definitely recommend Changing Hands Book Store to everyone. Thank you.~JC

Probably the best selection of books in any bookstore I've visited. You can find just about anything you're looking for and the store is very organized which makes it easy to browse. This store has a coffee shop, bar, and seating area attached. The matcha latte was delicious. The staff are very friendly. In addition to books, they also have stickers, gift wrap, magnets, journals, pens, notebooks, pencils. There's something for everyone.

I was quite impressed with this independent bookstore, huge inventory and extra friendly staff. I was attending a Terry Brooks book signing.

They have fantastic gifts. Super unique items you can get people. Or yourself. As far as a used book store... not really as good as others. Lots more new stuff and little used. I'd go back for the gifts though! Staff was really nice and love that it was near a Trader Joes!!

As a part of Thank You Thursday, I want to write my review for Changing Hands Bookstore. Changing Hands is Arizona's leading independent bookstore, offering new and used books, unique gifts, toys, and more than 300 author events every year in Tempe since 1974. How can you not love Changing Hands Bookstore? With the holidays coming up, you can find some really great items here from oracle cards to incense holders, knit cardigans to crystal sun catchers. Want some cool earrings? Need some Christmas ornaments? Come here! You'll truly find some unique items for everyone on your shopping list. Plus they have a really fabulous book selection. Support independent; support local!

Service was exceptional and friendly. Store is very clean and well organized. Trade in prices are very fair although I do wish they would take more of my books when I bring them in. Also, love the non book section of the store where you can find unique gifts.

This place was amazing. It's the local bookstore to where a friend that I unfortunately only briefly visited grew up, but we made coming here before a long journey a particular point of interest. There just aren't any places quite like this where I'm from. Not anymore, anyway.

Solid little place, good selection, friendly. Connected to Wildflower Bread Co, didn’t go there, but cool setup. Always loved Changing Hands & this is probably nicest one I’ve been in.
