If you like smell of old books, this is the place for you. For a used book store, the inventory is…read morevery well organized. They have a large inventory of both used hardbacks and paperbacks with some new books also The building is one big hall with other cubbyhole rooms on the sides that each have a different specialty or theme. The place has an old metal roof - Very cool to be there when in there when it rains. This is the kind of place I can spend an hour in and still not peruse through everything I would want to.

My husband and I had read an adulatory article about the store and the many thousands of books…read morethere, so we traveled up from St. Louis to take a look. The thousands of books were there, all right, but in a building that smells overwhelmingly of mold. I don't know whether it's from a roof leak or a flood, or whether they have just bought a lot of smelly books, but my husband and I both stank of mold even after we left, and I was coughing. I didn't find much of a selection of unusual or uncommon books to tempt me, and the layout of the place is very strange. I couldn't find mystery books for over ten minutes. They were hidden away in a corner, and given far less prominence than romance or inspirational books. Even if I found out that the mold problem had been solved, it's not likely we would return.

This time was a different story. I walked don't the entire first floor and boy was I surprised! They have sage, crystals, jewelry, dream catchers, Greek supplies, tshirts, posters, records, etc. I really can go on and on. This store meets both your spiritual needs and eiu swag needs lol. Service was great. I had question about some crystals. The young man working let me know he didn't know much about crystals but his girlfriend did and she would at work the next day. I went the next day and she surely knew about crystals. She answered all of my questions and more. I really like this store! And everything is reasonably priced.

There needs to be…read moresome major changes to Barnes and Nobles policies and pricing before I ever consider buying from them again. The member system barely saves you any money. If you use Barnes and Nobles to find new books to read, don't buy them from the store, buy them from amazon or other cheaper online sellers. Some people may not care about paying extra to buy from Barnes and Noble, but I'm not one of those people. I once asked about price matching and the employee looked at me like I was dumb. I mean the sales people and cashiers here are the absolute WORST I've ever been around at any business! Seriously, take your business elsewhere, it's not worth it.

!!!DO NOT PAY WITH CREDIT/DEBIT CARD, DO NOT SIGN UP FOR MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE!!!…read more If you read nothing else of this review, please at least take note that if you pay with card they offer a "free" magazine subscription. Do not accept unless you *really* want those magazines!! They literally give your credit info to a third-party company and the subscription is not "free." My account was charged almost $4 UNAUTHORIZED which really isn't a lot, but for some people that can be the difference for dinner. There's also nothing more annoying/infuriating than logging in to your account and seeing random charges. The people on the phone ask confusing questions and try to get you to continue a subscription with a million different offers/questions! But that's another review for another time. I found this practice to be a little sharky, next time will definitely pay with cash! I want to support a local business as much as possible, but this was not cool! As for Books-A-Million itself...I love having a full bookstore nearby because my town does not have a public library. They had tons of new releases, fiction and nonfiction. My fiance spotted some gorgeous picture books, some of them at a very reasonable price. If you head to the back of the store, you will find a large amount of discounted books and cheap paperbacks starting at $3-4. I walked out with two hardcover brand-new books for $11! Customer service was really nice and cordial, except for the magazine thing but like I said, just pay cash and say no thank you! I'm removing a star from this review for the misleading practice at the register, they should at least warn people of possible fees. Other than that, the customer service rep was a sweetheart, books were well-stocked, place was clean and organized. Very casual atmosphere, not like a library where it's all hush-hush quiet. It's easy to get lost in all the aisles of books if you're a bibliophile like me. Thanks Books-A-Million, sorry for the misunderstanding.

The best part of used bookstores is the element of serendipity. I find books I have loved that I…read morenever knew existed, and would never have known to search for them. New bookstores, in my view, are very limited in scope -- the owner has a particular taste, majority of titles (not counting classics) have been published in the last 1-5 years, from major publishing houses, almost everything has been on the NYT besteller's list. Very little element of surprise, few hidden gems. Used bookstores have so much more serendipity, so many hidden gems, so much more variety. And Priceless Books has this element of used bookstores, but twice as much as any other used bookstore I've been to. And I've been to a lot! On every road trip, if I'm just passing through, I check out their used bookstores. This one's special. Yes, it's messy and there's piles of books on the floor blocking the path (definitely not a wheelchair friendly store). Yes, you have to crane your neck to view titles up on the shelf. Yes, the store clerk is not gregarious (but does have a twinkle in his eye). But it's worth it! I have found so many books that my here that my life feels more complete having read them, and I never would have known of them if not for this store. This can be said of many a used book store, but Priceless Books just has more of it, and it's something special.
