There's so much to see inside, with all kinds of book genres all well-organized and easy to search. The staff was incredibly friendly and approached me twice to ask if there was something they could help me find. They knew where everything was and knew sometimes even before they'd look what was on the shelves and what wasn't (or what just sold a couple of days/weeks ago). Very insightful and their kindness made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for the used book lover!

It's a friendly shop where they remember you and your tastes. I've converted a lot of clients and friends in the area who were quick to dismiss it as just another dirt-mall book dump. Absolutely not. The store carries the professionalism of classic independent booksellers with the fun of a friendly mom-and-pop store. Take a break from the busy market on your next visit.

For over twenty years, this Books-A-Million location has been a staple in the Harrisburg area. To…read morebe honest, it's been a staple in my life, as I can remember being single and still venturing out to this wonderkind bookstore that rivaled Barnes & Nobles as well as Waldenbooks at the time. Today, it is still a modest bookstore that has a variety of niche items besides being your average book seller. While price gouging is running rampant and everyone is trying to find great deals on things, you can still spot some modest treasures here, which is what brought me to share my experience on this platform from the other night. So I used to come here to look for cool used DVDs and Blu-rays, but it seems like they've liquidated their stock on those items. However, they have a small, but mighty vinyl record section which had some very unique soundtrack albums, especially from labels that are usually sold through online retailers. I noticed that they had a few of the popular "Halloween" film series albums in this store at reasonable prices, since most of those horror scores sell for above average costs on eBay. I decided to return to the store the following day and pick one up for myself, and was greeted by store associate Heisey, who gave me the low down on BAM's membership perks as well as their online website. Overall, it was a wonderful trip down memory lane to look back on a store that has served the area quite well for over two decades, and to find something worthwhile that makes it even more exciting to return here again in the future.

If we didn't have somewhere to be when we stopped we definitely would have been there for more than the 45mins we spent there. There are so many rooms, and a basement overflowing with books.

I had always thought the name "2nd & Charles" referred to some downtown street corner of a big city…read morelike Boston. As it turned out, the name actually comes from "second-hand" (as in buybacks and trade-ins), and the first name of its founder, Charles Anderson. The chain has 40 locations across 18 states and is owned by its parent company, Book-A-Million, which was founded by Charles father, Clyde. It's bitter sweet that it moved from the now-dismantled Harrisburg East Mall to its current location. The business survived, but I like the old setting better, where it was part of a shopping mall and you could just stroll into the store during a general window-shopping trip. The new location is standalone, right across from the county courthouse (are the prisons still there?), where Toys "R" Us used to be. It has to be a dedicated trip. The new store is much larger, however. It has all kinds of books, including rare titles and collectibles. There are also gifts, CDs, musical instruments, and even LEGO bricks sold by weight. Heck, they even buy back old LEGO sets! Jumping on the "blind box" bandwagon, they now sell "Mystery Boxes" as well. It's a fantastic spot to treasure-hunt and/or sell items from your weekend clean-outs. It's great to see a unique business like this continue to thrive.
