In Portland, we have Powell's, a four-story bookstore that takes up an entire city block, so it takes a lot to impress me. BAM had an excellent variety. The only thing that shocked me was the state of the store. It. Was. A. Mess. Like, THE messiest store I had ever been in. And I've gone shopping around the holidays. Calendars were placed in stacks on the floor. Books were misshelved. It was super messy. It still didn't stop us from liking the store, though. BAM!

Wow! This place is reorganized and has a nice gentleman staff member now too…read more There's a whole room on your left as you come in devoted to classics and award-winning books.

They should really put a sign outside saying they've reorganized and cleaned up and have three levels of books. Otherwise people who stopped by when it was old and crappy won't even know.

I had a pretty tight timeline for getting on the road, but as I was on my way from the hotel to the…read morecar to leave town, I spotted this bookstore...and happily blew my itinerary by spending almost an hour here. It is a GREAT used bookstore and would be so in any city. + Handsome--hardwood floors and copious natural light + Four floors of stock + Tidy and well organized + Exceptional variety of subjects and genres + All books in good condition or better (most better) + Staggeringly low prices (to a Chicagoan) + LPs and DVDs Plus, they are operated by the Central Arkansas Library System, so I hope and assume that proceeds from the store benefit the libraries, which is always awesome. On top of all that, I finally found a book here for which I had been searching through dozens of bookstores in several cities for over a year. And although I would have happily taken a shabby paperback, what I found was a boxed, cloth-bound Library of America edition, including several of the author's other works--FOR ONLY SIX DOLLARS! That kind of bookstore good fortune is extraordinary.

We shopped at a lot of places and found a nice Sony KDL series at this location. Once the "Manager" stopped yelling at the other employee, he turned on a fake smile to help me. I say manager in quotes because I later found out he wasn't the manager. He introduced himself as the manager but no manager looks like a hippy straight out of the 60's and actually smells fresh of weed... the television I had my eye on was part of their sticker clearance sale for half off the asking price. I thought it was a good deal but I hesitated because the vibes from the fake manager were starting to make me very uncomfortable. Not only was he glancing at my breasts every turn of his head, he was also very mean to the other employee trying to help. As I was starting to leave, he yelled wait and reluctantly I did. He went over to the computer and lowered the price of the tv for the sale but by that time I really wanted to leave. After I got my bearings back, I decided to go back and purchase the tv a few days later if they had it available. I assume the actual manager was there when I went back because he seemed like he knew what he was doing. But he stopped midway through the transaction and accused me (or somebody else) of putting the half off sticker on the tv because it didn't match the sale item or something. I tried to explain the previous employee changed the price but he didn't believe me. I stormed out. I'm not going to shop here again. They let their employees treat others like crap and frankly they hire creeps. I didn't say anything till now because I keep finding myself bothered by the whole situation. Whoever is really in charge here, you have a lot of work to do, and I implore you to not hire hippies.
