Phoenix Bookstore With New and Used Titles and a Book Bar

Changing Hands turns a book browse into an afternoon with a second chapter. New and used titles share the store with an Arizona collection, a dedicated section for children, and gifts that run from stationery to locally sourced pieces. The shelves stretch across an open room beneath exposed beams and strings of lights, with plenty to pull your attention beyond the book you planned to buy.

The store also has First Draft Book Bar serving coffee, wine, and craft beer, with snacks alongside. A long counter, high stools, and tables give the cafe its own footprint within the bookstore. Pick a new read and take the browse at your own pace, with a drink as the next stop.

Author readings and workshops add another reason to keep this Camelback Road address in mind. There is a trade in counter for regulars, and special orders are accepted. At 300 W Camelback Rd, the mix is shelves, conversation, and a cafe in the same space.
