Love the old fashioned vibes here and less of the hustle and bustle of larger shops. Staff was very helpful to assist us in finding what we were looking for, and knowledgeable. Prices were higher for used records than another local store, but lower than one we have stopped at out of town, so a good middle ground for sure. And, lots of 2 set record albums too! A sweet surprise that allowed me to go home with two records sets. Support your local business and remember: tomorrow is Record Store Day!

Books-A-Million is the staple big bookstore in smaller towns across Alabama.

BAM has Joe Muggs instead of Starbucks.. and I'm not gonna lie, I think I like Joe better than the bucks. Any who. This particular store is in the Gadsden Mall as opposed to a stand alone or an outlet shoppe , so it stays pretty busy. It's also a bit small and cramped and because of all that it seems messy and chaotic. It's not a peaceful place to read in a comfy chair while you sip a cup of tea trying to decide which book(s) to buy... But it's good just for perusing the shelves. They have pretty much anything for anyone and any occassion (I do a lot of gift shopping here because books are my favourite gifts to give.) The children's section is pretty big and kid friendly. They have your standard new arrivals/book club/ popular fiction, entertainment section with games and such, lots of bios, a magazine wall, self help, educational, etc. They also keep up with the required reading lists from local schools and keep those in stock so you don't have to search hard. Like I said, anything for anyone. It's not the best, but it's still a bookstore. And that's enough to make me happy.

The owner of the store is really nice and an Alabama football fan (Roll Tide!). The place is broken down into a main room, three smaller rooms and a back wall (behind the main room). The main room is more related to furniture type stuff and larger home decor items. My main interest was the back room to the left side. Filled with vinyl, cd's and cassette tapes. Stuff spanning several decades. Some stuff, to be totally honest, probably not that east to come across original editions. Prices might seem a little high, but if you purchase three vinyl records you get 50% off....so there are some good deals to be had. Also, there is a ton of vintage stereo equipment to check out. All in all not a bad place, check them out if you're in the area.

We wondered why the music was so easy to hear from the parking lot, and as we came through the door the atmosphere was cathartic. This is a clean, easy to walk through record store with friendly staff. There are two listening stations complete with headphones and great quality turntables. There are sections for used vinyls including most genres in 12's and 45's, CDs, a photo booth, and comfortable seating to listen to live sessions or as you wait for someone to complete their record adventure journey. It isn't a large store but prices were reasonable. The majority is not alphabetically ordered so part of the experience is finding what you came to find. Enjoy!
