I went in to Books A Million yesterday to purchase the new John Grisham book. They had a huge stack of them right up front so it was easy to find. I love going to this bookstore. They have a huge selection of every type of book that you could imagine. I usually spend about an hour in there browsing just to see what all they have. I have always been an avid reader. This store is very organized, clean, and well lit. The staff is always very friendly and can help you find whatever you are looking for. If you need a book or magazine, go to Books A Million! read more

I have driven by this place several times and have been meaning to check it out. Well today was the day. I was expecting something like Half Price books or more of surplus book store with some discounted pricing, when I walked in it reminded me of Barnes and Noble with the layout and signage. I was surprised at the price of some of the books which I would have expected from an independent bookstore. read more

Books-A-Million - Bargain area - Bookstores Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Pretty big bookstore stocking a full range of titles for adults & kids, plus toys & games. They sell an assortment of miscellaneous items everything from vinyl records to socks. The store doesn't have that nice Barnes and Noble vibe to it, no Starbucks cafe... it's not very more comfortable and inviting bookstore I've been to... So I personally really missed that. I like to sit down and glance thru books I might want to purchase. They do seem to have a larger selection than B&N. I could be wrong but it seems that way by the looks of it. When the cashier rang us up, he made the membership sound free. Like a rewards program. But the membership is actually $21.00. So we noticed our total was higher than anticipated and found out he added the $21.00. So we asked him to remove that, and declined the membership. Just be aware of your total, I wonder how many people have paid for a membership and did t realize it. When he was finishing is up, we asked for a bag, the employee said they do not give bags out anymore. So just a heads up...bring a bag if you plan on getting a few books. read more

See all

This is a massive store with a pretty good variety of anything you want. None are discounted or used other than the clearance markdown prices. Everything was spacious and it wasn't too noisy in here. Basically like a barnes & nobles. read more

Highly recommended for book lovers of all ages. This place seems more spacious compared to Barnes and Noble plus all around better selections and better variety of categories to peruse through. read more

I recently went to books a million and found the place in disarray. Maybe it was inventory time? But seriously whole isles were empty. The stuff sure doesn't care that you are in the store either. Didn't see much interaction at all between any staff and customers. My experience makes me think that I get way better service on Amazon. At least Amazon make suggestions for other books to buy. Skip a trip to this book store. read more

This place is a great bookstore, but their isles look like EMPTY. Ya know, their cafe looks like a good tease, but they cooked a horribly, and I tasted these foods, then it was almost tasted RAW and cold, then I requested them to refunded my money back. I agree with others' reviews and read their reviews. read more

Super Selection; Great Location; Friendly Staff; Highly Recommend! I recently visited the Books-A-Million Storefront and was impressed by the Staff and selection of Books (similar to Barnes & Noble Bookstores). The Staff Members were helpful without being overbearing, a pleasant experience and visit. read more

The non-management people tend to be great. Sadly, the managers and corporate harass them to make the membership card sales to a degree that is actually troubling. As in, I've seen grown people cry because they are threatened with losing their jobs for not making a quota. So don't blame the people at the checkout. Blame the management and corporate. The last manager I dealt with, Holly, was a horrible person, not just to me, but to her staff. Has had an attitude every time I have dealt with her. Apparently she has favorites and they get all the love there, but if you aren't in her good graces, it is hell. I don't know if she is still there, as I won't go back, but let's hope not for everyone's sake. Go to Barnes & Noble. They treat their people better and they won't harass you about the cards or the scammy magazine deal (they've actually outlawed them in Maine). Don't eat the cafe food either. It's gross and overpriced. The coffee is ok. They do the coffee for the troops, but they expect the customers to donate the coffee, while they make the profit. Sad. read more

I'm a simple man. I don't require a lot out of shopping experiences...heck, or life itself. I just want a good meal, a good conversation and the love of a beautiful woman. But sometimes, I do want a little more. Like a good book. However, when I went to the cash register to use my gift card, the girl behind the counter asked if I wanted to use what was left to buy into the discount program. A simple up-sell. I can respect that. I declined. She pressed, "are you sure?" I replied, "I am, thanks anyway, I appreciate your effort." "But you can save every time you come in." "No thanks, I just want to use my gift card." "Well...(at this point I kind of tuned her out.)." You can see where this went. I had to say no 7 times. I really understand the drive to get the up-sell. I work retail. I know how much pressure they put on you to do that. I don't fault the girl in this experience. She was friendly. I fully blame the bastard who said "don't let them leave with saying no." or "Make them say no at LEAST 3 times." It's aggravating, and had I been paying real money, I might have walked out. So that sucked. And that was just 10 out the 30 dollars of the gift card, so I had to go back. The second trip was even more disappointing. I have to say, I don't know if it's because it's the 2 weeks after Christmas, but this particular bookstore is a lesson in chaos. I found some delight in seeing a Glenn Beck book(An Inconvenient Book) in the Fiction section, but mostly, you couldn't find a book you really wanted in this place if it were cooing your name seductively and had a neon sign on it that said "look here." So, I moseyed. As you do when you don't really know what your looking for. Kind of like how this story has started. I found myself digging through the discount section(this is something I've learned from Maranda). And that's when I saw that first thing that made me a little sad with humanity: a Jersey Shore Sticker Book.Yes.A sticker book. I guess it shouldn't be surprising, considering the "talent" of that show, but really? A sticker book? For kids? Do REALLY want our children "learning" about Snooki and that douchebag with abs...via stickers? You know, when I was a kid, I had a sticker book. It was about baseball players. I collected and learned all I could to hopefully one day grow up to be like my heros, Will Clark, Jose Canseco, and Mark McGwire. Sure, 2/3 of that list wound up being drug addled, performance enhancing, monsters who sullied the reputation of the game and their careers...but it's not like they flaunted their flaws on a daily basis on television and I certainly wasn't told to be entertained by how many "bitches" they nailed. I can't believe I'm only 30 and wishing for the good old days. It's just sad. Pitiful. Remarkable. But, you know what made this even worse? I decided to walk away from the discount bin and laugh it off. I was bound to not be infuriated by the stupidity of this. So, I walked over to the Philosophy and Religion section. I really wanted to re-buy Blue Like Jazz. One of my favorite books that I let someone borrow and then kind of moved and never got it back. Anyway, they didn't have it, so I thought, "well, Josh, let's look at the philosophy books, maybe find something challenging to make us think a little bit." And so, again, I moseyed over, and lo and behold, what met my eye was...discouraging, I guess is the best word. There, on the shelf next to Plato, Soccretes and the like was 2 rows of books whose titles were all like this: "Stupid pop-culture icon" & Philosophy. Some prime examples:Iron Man & Philosophy,Sex And The City & Philosophy,Homer Simpson & Philosophy,House & Philosophy, and my personal favorite: Twilight & Philosophy I'm pissed just having typed those 5 titles. And there were TWO shelves of this crap! I really want to believe that this is just a way to get the younger ones to think and create ideas about life using concepts and characters they are familiar with to help them get into the material more easily and deeply. I'd really like that to be true. But I have to say that what it looked like was just another stab by corporations to cash in on the things that made them rich to begin with. I can't imagine what this world will be like in 100 years. Will anyone come along and invent something so radically new and different from what has come before it? Will any new ideas emerge that we can't even try to imagine now: like imagining a 1955 Chevy 2 door post in the middle of the Civil War? Will there ever be that kind of leap again? Or are we just going to live out the rest of the time we hold dominion over this rock making things that already affect too much of our lives faster, easier and cheaper? Who are the geniuses around us? Why can't we hear more about them instead of Snooki? Will we ever have an original thought again? I'm going to go read George Carlin and Jimmy Carter now. read more

Totally agree with other reviewer. The sales people were obnoxious with buying the Books A Million reward card. Found you in the store to tell you, at the register just kept going and going and going and going and going til you wanted to get a drink to subdue yourself. I did like the prices as I found some great books for under 5. But didn't enjoy being pestered as I got to the book store to look. read more

I personally love Books A Million at Tulsa Hills. They have a great selection of authors, cards, t-shirts, and fun novelty items. The staff has had occasional ebbs of not so engaged people, but for the most part, they are helpful and pleasant. I often go there during Yule to get gifts and stocking stuffers. If you love actually books, patronize this store. Not everyone wants to read a screen. read more

Can I write a review on Joshua B's review? Come on, who really wrote it? Paul Thomas Anderson? Have you ever heard the word "edit?" Go pester people on political forums who have all day to waste! I'm simply trying to find a product and looking for some feedback about this particular store. Sheesh! read more

It's a large bookstore. VERY bland, non-personable. Most of the sales people are friendly. On a few different occasions, I made it clear I wasn't interested in a discount card, and the sales person continued to explain the "benefits" of the card. Once I said no though, the sales associates' attitude changed completely! From being friendly and bubbly to being very short with me. The card seems to be an issue if not sold to the customers. I think they do just fine with the selling of books. I work retail as well. . . but happen to work for a company that cares about it's employees. BAM may want to do some interpersonal workshops with its associates. read more
