I went to Bookmans in the past week to trade in books for store credit. I had two large boxes with about 75 books inside. I also had lots of magazines too. They needed thirty minutes to evaluate my books. I left my books at the counter and briefly walked through the store to see what they had to sell. I returned to the counter and saw my two boxes, which looked as though they had not yet been looked at. An employee soon walked up behind the counter and told me that they could only use two of the books I brought in. I accepted the $9.00 in store credit and hauled my books back to the car. I considered driving to a Half Price Books store to see if they would take more of my books in trade. Instead, I drove to the north side of the Goodwill store that is next to Bookmans. I donated all the items I had at their drive-up donation center. I didn't shop at the Goodwill store, but I bet they have a pretty nice selection of books thanks to all the Bookmans' trade rejects that ended up there.
