Great service and awesome selection. My go to comic/game shop.
This place is FULL of Knowledge and experience. I really appreciated being able to visit. I will definitely visit again on my next trip to Killeen.
He was very friendly and had the most diverse card selection in the area!I believe its hands down the best place for Magic The Gathering cards. I think you could find almost anything in there and the figurine selection is great too. Definitely recommend and will be back!
Great place to pick up almost anything related to table top games, pen and paper RPGs card games Miniature games comics and Graphic novels or Paper/hardback books and codex or rule book.
Amazed at the selection and superior Assistance, A lot of wonderful comics. It was hard to take my eyes off the wonders there. But luckily my trip was worth it, hope to stop by again.
Great selection of cards, dice, figures, comics, tiles/Mats etc etc. Im am impressed and like this shop the most over the others Ive visited so far. The prices are reasonable. The customer service is spot on. And the shop can try to order in items on request. Im a painter and LOVED their large selection of figures to choose from (large, small, different game genres etc) no reason to order figures online physically sight unseen anymore since Im from gatesville, Ill be returning.
Fun little place to help with your nerdy needs. Comics, cards, d&d and more :)
Been years since I’ve actually shopped here, came back a few weeks ago and the guy that helped me had a bit of an attitude, i purchased anyways, thinking maybe he was just in a bit of a mood, come back today and was going to buy another pack that I “had to switch” because I told the guy the one I was getting seemed heavier then the others, so what if it seems heavier then the others and that’s the reason I want to buy it? then after the associate went and switched it for another pack, I was then told in order to use card you gotta spend $5, which of course one pack of Pokémon is just under that. If you guys just diddnt want my business just tell me. I was going to become a loyal customer and buy all my Pokémon cards from here because when I was a kid this place was awesome. Next week I was going to come back and spend a minimum of $500 on a few boxes of the next Pokémon set, however because of the lack of customer service I will gladly order online and pay for shipping then give my business to a company that’s being ran down. Do not recommend this place anymore and will make sure I tell everyone I know now not to come to this place. If you guys have rules that you can’t buy the exact product you want then make a sign for it. Otherwise you can’t enforce it
Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Knowledgeable in many different games ranging from collectable cards to paintable miniatures
Owner was a really cool, chill dude who knew what he was talking about and was happy to place a order for me despite having been in there for the first time. Several of my friends recommended it and I can see why now. The place has a wide selection of comic books, miniatures, RPG books, etc. It may be small but its packed to the gills with good stuff.
Really love this place. Will be back regularly. Went around to 4 or 5 game stores in the area. Book Stan was the only one I truelly enjoyed. I enjoyed it. I didnt just shop there I enjoyed being there. Helpful staff. Wide selection of ttrpg goods. Minis, dnd, warhammer etc. Wide selection of comic book stuff too but thats not my thing.
This is a good place to get magic the gathering cards and comic books
Love love love love this place!! It is helpful that the owner is patient and willing to explain to people to dont know about the particular comic book series or card game. He even lets you observe other games so you can get really involved! This is one of my favorite places to be on any given day of the week, prices are fair, the people who run and work the store are respectful and helpful and if Mr. Stan doesnt have it, he may be able to find it for you!
Not kid friendly. Took my son there to have his first experience at a comic store since he loves comics. The owner was like a shadow thinking he would damage everything and was a bit condescending and rude in my opinion. Every time my son pulled out something to look at, he would say in a condescending tone, just leave it out, if you cant put it back where you got it, while he was trying to put it back. Also, he hovered us while browsing and it made us uncomfortable. It wasnt a pleasant experience. We barely touched anything because we felt uncomfortable to read a comic in the store or look at the back cover. Also, his signs kept falling down and he was blaming us. Very unprofessional, we will not be returning. After, we went to Americas Heroes Comics & Games, and had a lovely experience there.
Nice small store. Packed with all your comic & tabletop needs. Owner is knowledgeable and friendly.
Small but my husband loves this comic shop, always finds what hes looking for and the owner/ employees are great.
My personal experience at the Book Stan was pretty awesome. Stan has a wide knowledge base on collectibles and games, he is a nice and welcoming owner, and I highly recommend this place to any D&D or MTG players. Found Core 2021 packs at a cheaper price than Wal-Mart and Target which is nice for anyone wanting to try their hand at a quick MTG Booster Draft match.
Love this place! I hadn’t read any comics before going here and I just felt very welcome!
Awesome shop, great inventory. Support our local businesses. The owner is killing it for our local nerd needs
Answers my question, were polite but were not able to help me but did refer me to someone else
This store is definitely a 10 out of 10! The true geek hq of the centex area! Magic night 2 times a week and all the comics you know cant afford but gotta purchase anyway! Absolutely worth stopping in anytime
Very friendly. I found the store to be neat. Found everything with ease and the gentleman working there was so kind and helpful. Great shop. 10 of 10
Best selection of stuff in town. Little cramped but will most likely have what your looking for trading card/comic/ tabletop game wise. Have played mtg here a few times it was ok but too cramped for me.
Book Stan is amazing. Ive been going here since I was a child. The owner is very helpful and very friendly. They have the best selection of games and game supplies in the Killeen/Ft hood area. I will drive 45 minutes from Gatesville to go to this store. I would never buy from anywhere else because they make the experience worth it!
Very friendly owner with all my needs as a casual mtg player. One of the only places in town with this kind of selection.
Reasonable prices on gaming supplies
This place is awesome the owner is very down to earth and super knowledgeable of all things in his store amazing selection truthfully a nerds paradise very excited for my next visit
Great store to play at! I love it.
I moved down here a few years ago, I didnt know anyone and struggled deeply to make new friends. I always loved playing Magic the Gathering though and I assumed from how great my last store was that most communities would be the same. However, when I first started going to Book Stan I did not feel comfortable in the environment at all. Stan (the owner) was a nice guy, but he is not the people that I spent my time and money to come make friends and play with. The people that play FNM here seem to have a very tight-knit group and dont care too much for new people. After a few visits and trying to fit in, I lost the love for the game and ended up quitting for about a year or two until I found a new shop in the area that I enjoyed going to. The 1 star has nothing to do with the quality of the shop. Stan is a nice guy and he keeps his store clean and has a great collection of just about everything us nerds and geeks could want. However, if you are new to town or the game, I would not suggest this store simply based on the community of people that go there.
Great selection of products. Friendly and helpful staff. Overall fantastic store for all your cards, board games and comic book needs.Would highly recommend.
Fantastic store! Absolutely amazing service Everytime you walk in the door! Extremely helpful and they have a ton of D&D stuff! Highly recommend! My new go to for sure!
The owner Stan is a really nice guy. I walked around inside with my children and he was always eager to help any way he could. Prices are always reasonable. This is probably the best mom and pop comic book shop I been to in a long time. It brings back memories. Thanks Stan for your awesome comic book shop!
Great little locally owned shop, knowledgeable about different role playing games and lots of materials for game play. Nice comic book and card sets for games like Pokémon and Magic the Gathering selection too.
Very customer friendly and a good selection of merchandise
I go here to mostly play D&D. Stan is very nice, and has a wide selection of comics, trading cards, models, paint etc. He also sells movie premier tickets from time to time for DC and Marvel movies at the Copperas Cove Theater.
Good location and Good work keepit up
I go here for D&D unpainted miniatures, they have the biggest selection of minis in the Killeen area. I have not purchased anything else or played any games here. If you are looking for miniatures this is the best place in Killeen
Omg I had so much fun! So glad to find this little place :D my dice goblin is happy ;)
They always have plenty of copies of the DC Black Label material as well as awesome collectibles that I love. The owner is always accommodating and nice. He makes me feel welcome and his prices dont hit you over the head.
Lots to see.Staff is really friendly.Will be back soon.
Very nice employees and lots of MTG.
I love this place. The owner is so sweet and helpful. He really cares about his work and his shop. Hes very informed and involved in the community and getting people together. You can always find little obscure things there and hes very decently priced.
Always friendly and willing to help.
A little shop with a lot of personality. The owner is friendly and very helpful, you just have to get his attention. I really enjoyed that he had stuff I’d never seen before and was happy to help me find things I wanted but he didn’t have on hand. Also played Tanks in the back with a group and had a blast. Will be coming back
The staff is always wonderful! There are magic the gathering tournaments every friday that are always fun. The selection of comics is always up to date and there is a wide variety!
So much to look at and see, the collection was very large and varied. Had a small table set up but still had a couple groups playing. Staff was friendly and quick to any questions.
Great inventory. Very friendly staff. Reasonable prices compared to some places. Stan carries: DnD, warhammer, miniatures. Magic, Pokémon dragon ball, lots of supplies. The newest comics.He does commander on Thursday and FNM and some standard or draft of Saturdays. Best selection in killeen copperas cove and heights are. Store just a little small so it can be cramped. But the selection of items makes this my go to store.
Best prices and availability for new Pokemon merch in Central Texas
Really nice people, great selection of games, comics, and hobby items. Would highly recommend this store to anyone looking for a comic book shop.
This place is nothing to write home about. other stores of this kind are better. I never truly felt comfortable while I was inside. I sometimes I felt like was being ignored until I would said I was ready to pay. I feel the store is too small have game tournaments. they dont do pull list.
I love this place! Super helpful finding what I need, answering questions, and getting me items they dont currently have in stock. I find what I want on Amazon, then I go in to Book Stan to buy it! I love taking my business to an awesome local shop like this! Thank you for making auch a great place for me to purchase games and whatnot for my family!
Great dealer, owner, and player. Very customer friendly and a great personal character. I just got here and already feel very comfortable doing business there, and going there with my son. Even when I asked dumb questions, I received great respect and courtesy. As a Magic player since it first came out, I hands down recommend this place for experienced and beginners in all things comic and collectible related.
I absolutely love this place. I went knowing nothing about comic books but wanted to buy some for my husband and they helped me understand the basics and I was able to choose some cool stuff. Ill definitely be back soon.
Great selection! Friendly staff!
Awesome place, loaded with great finds, conveniently located, and the owner is knowlegable about everything in his store
This place is great theres a lot of stuff in the store and tons of collectables. The owner is very helpful. Its a fun store.
Owner speaks to customers as though he is independently wealthy and doesnt need them to purchase anything, I was not impressed. After giving the place a try three times, its safe to say I will not be going back. Im glad Quantum Leap reopened.
Very nice little store. Tons of stuff. Little packed, but thats the standard for shops like this. Both guys working there greeted me and where very nice and welcoming.
I have been to this Comic shop multiple times, only because I think it somehow would be different from previous visits. I am met with good customer service. However I think this shop tends to be a bit over priced on their specialty comics. Comics that average a certain price on sites such as eBay are sometimes double that in the shop. The back issue portion of the shop is not very well organized. As polite as the employee is I feel like I am not being listened too when asking questions or seeing if he can provide certain things. Id rather go an hot and a half out of my way into Austin to visit another shop than to go back to a shop that has little selection of comics.
This place is absolutely amazing I met stan the owner and he help me to find a funko pop I was after amazing service will return again
Kind of disorganized. It was very crammed up in there. Not enough room for the awesome things that couldve been showcased. Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Great staff. If they dont have it in stock they can almost always order it for you.
Friendly atmosphere. Good go-to for games and comics and collectibles.
Knowledgable staff and very helpful. Has everything you need for whatever your campaign, whether thats starwars, dnd, or pathfinder, may hold. Theyve got a nice array of board games and plenty of comics to keep you busy. Not to mention the perfect spot to run you campaign if you may need.And at a reasonable price too!
Cozy lil shop
My husband and I really enjoyed browsing through the store. Upon entering we were greeted by the owner. Once we told him we were new to the area he welcomed us and struck up a friendly conversation. Needless to say we left we a few board games and some stuff to aide us in our D&D gaming that we do. The owner was super informative and invited us out to the board game night and the D&D night. He even said our kids were welcome to play, which is something I have found too many comic book stores to embrace. We cant wait to go by and experience the gaming nights!
Hands down some of the best customer service I have ever had. Prices are a little high. Will be back.
Always. Great experience, the owner will go out of his way to help you
Book Stan has been my go-to Game Store in town since I was a kid. Been around since 1979 and the owner is always ready to make sure you get what you need and will always remind you to Have Fun.
Stan is awesome and helpful. Great prices on Magic stuff. Definitely worth checking out.
Great place, hands down. And in the evenings they have groups to play board games and dnd. Great place just great
Went there looking for something, wasn’t a pleasant experience and didn’t feel welcomed. Won’t be returning.
An awesome place to check out friendly plave
Best Comic and game store in Killeen, extremely friendly and knowledgeable, Terry is amazing. If he doesnt carry what you are looking for if he is able to he will order it for you. P.S. its really the only place around that has Dice Masters
Great place for tabletop games and comics. Employees and owner are professional and friendly
This place is excellent! Great selection of MTG singles and Booster packs. The owner is friendly and has helped me find everything i needed every time i go. I have found my new place for FNM for sure!
Great store, lots too look at (and buy). Their customer service was amazing too.
Place has everything I needed! On top of that, they have game nights to play some of their games and try out new ones!
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great place for all your fantasy, comic book, card games, and obscure board game needs.
I have tried this store a few times over the 4 years I have lived in the area and every time I have gone into the store, I have hated it. The owner makes any new customers feel as though they are planning on stealing something by following them around the entire time they are in the store. I will it to them that they have a very good selection of comics, MtG and tabletop stuff however I am never able to enjoy the selection because I am being followed and watched intently the whole time I was looking at everything. I have had other friends of mine mention the same feeling.Another downfall of the store is that it has much less space than some of the other store around town. I would avoid at all costs if I were you.
Lots of comics, cards, and pop figures. One of the best places Ive found since I moved here.
Stan will do everything he can for you. Go there if you like a personal touch from some who can make accurate suggestions concerning collectibility and enjoyment.
This place is great for the comic book and magic the gathering collectors.
I am a avid Magic The Gathering player, and the place is great. Stan (the owner) is a really cool guy, and the atmosphere is really friendly the prices for the stuff there is good as well (better than battlefield Games) and I will definitely go there for my Friday night magic needs.
The owner Terry is so awesome. This place has HANDS DOWN the best customer service Ive ever encountered. Terry always tries to help you out anyway he can. He has been in the business for over 30 yrs and is VERY knowledgeable! Also hes good to BS with & talk comics. He has spoiled me, sadly I will be moving from Copperas Cove. Hope they have a great comic store like Terrys wherever I end up. Do yourself a favor, if youre a comic lover go see Terry. (And by the way that 2 star rating is a fake review...trust me its a total lie.)
Ive looked at some of the bad reviews and they are completely unlike my visit to the store. When I came in I was greeted and asked if there was anything I needed help with, and when I said I was browsing, the owner left me to my devices and talked to another customer. When I asked about some of the MTG singles I was looking for, he knew right off the top of his head where they were, if he had them, and what else I might be interested in that was similar. As I was buying the cards for a friend who uses a deck Im not familiar with, it was great to have his advice, and my friend was ecstatic when I showed him his new cards. The owner was quite friendly and talkative, but not overly so to where it would be annoying. As this was my first visit to a comic book/geek supply store I was pretty pleased, and Ill return in the future. And with due respect to the one star review I saw, considering the fact that some of these cards are worth well over $70, I do think its unreasonable for the owner to monitor customers, though he most certainly didnt follow me around
This establishment offers good customer service, a wide selection of games, and a gamer-friendly atmosphere. If you have questions about games, chances are either the owner or one of the regulars can help.
Guy is poliet and shipped special dice in for me. Hes very knowledgeable. Best one I have been to in the area.
Bookstan had it all: Games, Comics, Collectible Cards-Miniatures-Figures-Wrestling Belts. Magic Gaming, Board Gaming, and Special Events held here. Like this Saturday 10 November 2018 at 1PM. A New Card Game is being introduced for $10.00 a game pack with extras provided. I Love Bookstan! Best rated gamestore for ordering product quickly. Friendly environment and close to restraunts when you get hungry during long game play.
Ive been a customer at Book Stan for a little over a year semi-regularly and lately very often. Since I started playing Warhammer 40k Ive been going there more frequently and Book Stan has everything I need. If I want to substitute a model or do a conversion I can always find what I need because of the wide selection of miniatures and various tools. Customer service is great. Wish there were wargaming tables but all in all I highly recommend this store.
Very friendly service, and a nice shop, found some great stuff here.
Great and welcoming place to get Tabletop Rpg and Cardgame books and accessories!
Great selection of everything from miniatures to comics to D&D literature to magic. Small spot but friendly employees and knowledgeable.
This is a great little shop. The owner is awesome as well.
Cool little nerd store. The guy working the day I went in was very friendly.
Good service and great atmosphere and great comic selection
Stan always makes sure you feel welcome, and will help you find whatever you need!
Literally my #1 DnD stop.I refuse to go anywhere else 😅
Nice little hometown store with lots of back issues.
