    Modern Funko Pop!
    Joe S.

    BAM! Emeril would love this place for that reason along. Books-A-Million is a cool store with lots of books for sale. With all of the BAN (Barnes & Nobel) stores closing, it's good to see BAM still going and going and going. Borders is long gone as is B Dalton (with one exception in Oviedo, FL). There are a lot of bookstores that start with "B". This store is pretty big and has lots of different sections from the miscellaneous junk at the front of the store to the huge wall of magazines in the back. But it's not called Junk-A-Million or Mags-A-Million, and there are lots of books to be seen! The sections are marked OK, but it may take a while to find the section you're looking for. The staff is helpful in finding what you need too, so feel free to ask. There's also a Joe Muggs coffee inside, which you'd think would be absolutely amazing based on the first part of the name. On one occasion here, it didn't seem to be open. The coffee shop next door (to the left when facing BAM), serves up a good bold cup. When I head to Vierra for shopping (usually at Total Wine), I'll probably make BAM a stop to see what they have here. You never know what you might find.

    When you walk in, the smell of books immediately hits you. It smells exceptional. The coffee restaurant reminds me of my grandmother. She loves coffee. It's always with her. She even got coffee at the Panera Bread down the street from here. The books are all organized, which is very tremendous efforts from the employees. I would recommend this place for somewhere to relax after a very adrenaline-filled event. The board games are super unequaled to all books, as they allow fun for the whole family as apposed to a singularity.

    Back in the last decade, Books-A-Million (which I will abbreviate to BAM for the rest of this review) was located on US-192 right across from Melbourne Square Mall. It was my favorite book store to visit. Unfortunately, it could not compete against the powerhouse Barnes & Noble (B&N) right near it and eventually closed up. Fast forward to when The Avenues in Viera opened up and behold, BAM returns. To be fair, they may have not closed down but moved as not to be next to competition. It has been some time since BAM opened up in The Avenues in Viera. With the onset of digital books, brick-and-mortar bookstores are closing up at record speeds. The question is if BAM is still worthy of being open in a digital world? The answer is yes. One of the advantages BAM has compared to its closest competitor B&N is the fact it is located in one of the most popular locations in Melbourne, FL let along the Space Coast. The Avenues in Viera has numerous popular stores and venues partnered with weekly events that bring in the crowds. This can only help in increasing the patronship for BAM. Secondly, BAM has kept up with the dynamic of changing times, staying relevent for younger generations of readers yet not abandoning older ones either. At its core, BAM is still a brick-and-mortar book store with rows and rows of books touching on any genre or subject. However, it has included goods and services that are trending or up-and-coming such as vinyl records, certain toys and games, and even their own line of ebook readers. To top everything off, BAM has their own coffee shop. It may not have the same pizazz and selection its competitor B&N has in Melbourne, FL, but given the fact there are numerous other restaurants in The Avenues in Viera that outshine the coffee shop, it is not too much of an issue. Overall, it is a great place to enjoy a book along with a cup of joe. The only gripes I have about BAM is the fact their prices are somewhat higher than competitors. It also doesn't help their selection is technically smaller than B&N. Those two together are the reason why I am giving this review four out of five stars. Despite all that, it is a solid bookstore and worth your time if you are in the area.

    You have books offered by retail stores, then there is Books A Million. A place where one can actually sit and read a bit to decide whether or not the book is worth the price. Having a Joe Muggs is a plus to take a break from scanning the enormous amounts of authors offering whatever it is one desires to delve into. Much like a library there are sections based on topic. The staff are bright and friendly and offer to help at times without having to be asked or hunted down. Clean and comfortable and very easy to lose track of time, it is a delight not to feel pressured. This location is packed inside an outlet complex where just around the corner is multiple local pubs and eateries. Buy a bra, pants, swimwear and many other items as well. Remember knowledge is power so stop by the Books A Million before anywhere else. A frequent buyers program gives more discounts and advantagea than one might imagine, so ask the feiendly customer sales associate or just look around.

    They need more periodicals.

    Justin at Joe Muggs is awesome. I'm super indecisive and he recommended the perfect drink with fast service! Great service!

    We went into Joe Muggs about 12 mins before BAM was closing; Really needed a coffee this cold night!
