If they don't have it in stock (not every item wanted anywhere is always in stock) they will either find a copy by calling their nearest store, order the book to the store for you to come pick up, or order it to your place. I almost knocked a star off for the club cards and magazine sales, but it's not like they take my free-will to say "No" if I want. Anyone can breeze past most retail attempts at upsale; let them finish their pitch, and just say No Thanks.

BAM became as much a toy store as a bookstore some years ago. It's actually gotten a little better…read morerecently, actually gave some floor space back to books. I was there Monday. My friend went to the restroom and came back wanting to leave because there was no t.p., but I went and got a young man who had the good grace to be embarrassed and to fix it promptly. I bought three books and got a very nicely prepared cup of coffee at the JoeMuggs area. The franchise has reduced the offerings at the area, but I was always a cup of coffee kind of person anyway. The cashier had to go across to a different register to preorder the new Prince Harry book for me, but it was handled efficiently and I got a reduced preorder price which included shipping to my home and is significantly less than I would have paid on Amazon (I checked). So, it was a pleasant visit to what is more bookstore than toy store and I saved a few bucks. Very nice.

I'm stumbled into this very nice shop. They haven't had their grand opening yet, so they still…read moresetting up, getting signage placed, etc. Most notably, the staff was extremely friendly and excited to be open. That will serve them well. They are brewing Starbucks, so it's the closest outlet to Cloverdale, I believe. They have a lot of space dedicated to Huntington apparel and gifts. They could really class the place up with Auburn gear. (Kidding- They are owned by Huntington University). They have a drive-through, a reading nook, etc. It's a fully restored cottage in the historic district. Very bright and clean. I'll be back!

It's not where you go for the new bestseller that's hot off the press. It's more of a see-what-you-can-find place. Every once in a while you will find something special for an insanely low price. I can walk out with several books under $10 total. It's very crowded with boxes of books and bookshelves to the ceiling all over, but it has a sort of cozy, old feeling. The workers are very kind and helpful. This is a bargain bookstore with a changing supply, so go in with an open mind and about 30 minutes to kill, and you'll walk out with an armful of books and money in your wallet.

I visited for the first time today and was absolutely blown away. From the design of the store to the location, there is so much to love about 1977 books. I've ordered from them online once before, so it was nice to see the shop in real life. I didn't get a chance to take photos of the shop (I was too busy browsing all of the books), but I managed to get a book that had been on my wish list for a while + a cute conversation deck that I plan on using with my loved ones. The volunteer who checked me out was also very kind and wore a mask. Come check it out!
