Sometimes, it's a pain in the ass to go to the library to check out books. Sure, it's great to not have to actually pay any money, but call numbers and delving into shelves upon shelves can be a little overwhelming. That's where Bookmans Entertainment Exchange comes in. Some of us like to have longer than two weeks to finish a book—especially when we have jobs that allow us minimal time to curl up on the couch and read said book. At Bookmans, you can buy a slew of books at extremely cheap prices, and read at your own leisure. Fiction, mystery, pulp, romance, sci-fi, comics, whatever: Bookmans has what you're eager to read.
