The organization at Landlocked Music was very precise and made things very easy for me to find. I…read morecame into the store for the first time ever and I was looking for pretty specific albums for my collection which included Panorama album from The Cars, In Color from Cheap Trick, Dream Police from Cheap Trick and I was also kinda looking for some new cds from The Cure and The Smiths. I had went to a few other cd shops before coming here today and I only found one Cheap Trick cd but after coming to Landlocked Music I had almost entirely checked off my list and I left the store with all the Cheap Trick cds I had been searching for, the exact Panorama album I had been looking for by The Cars, and I also was able to find two new Smiths cds + two new Cure cds. I must say this place has a lot of selection and I really appreciate that everything is very organized it made the shopping experience extremely enjoyable. Also the staff were very kind and when I was checking out one of the people working gave me an extra cd case since one of the ones I bought was cracked which was very nice. Also the prices were very reasonable I was able to get like-new cds for 6 bucks and there was also an area with discounted cds which was extremely cool. All I can say is If you are looking to add to your cd collection I can't recommend this place enough.

This store seems to be a place that changes for the sake of change. If it were good change, that…read morewould be great. Fortunately, all is not lost. Some of the good is still there. What's not good is downright ridiculous. For some reason, instead of fiction having nice wide open spaces where you can peruse books and find something new, it's now mostly in an aisle just wide enough for 2 people to stand in. Imagine standing in front of a bookshelf that goes from the floor to 6-7 feet in the air. Imagine not being able to back up more than a step or two and trying to see what's on the shelf. It's not an easy feat. Meanwhile, there is a great open sea in the middle of the store that's wide open. Clearance, you'll be happy to know, now takes up the former fiction spot. So the books that are easiest to see are the ones nobody really wants. Makes perfect sense. In other ideas that clearly make perfect sense, with fewer DVDs on the shelves these days, an upper shelf that is very convenient to browse has a few titles with the cover side out. The bottom shelf, where almost no one wants to go, is still full of product. Changing something and improving it is welcome. Changing it and actively making it worse sucks. I used to spend a fair amount of time browsing. Now I hit a couple of areas and I'm done. Oh - whoever decided putting a dvd rack by the exit should not be making important decisions. Ever. Other than that, it's an ok place to shop.

There are art books, foreign language books, references, sci fi, mystery, romance, kids books, and more. It's not necessarily cheap, but the selection is eclectic. Their discount books bring me in, too, but I inevitably leave with a stack. My father did this. I inherited volumes from him, and added to it, refining the collection along the way. It's plainly stunning to see the variety of content available here. This store is a magnet for the mind. As I mentioned in my prior review, it's not as large as Powell's in Portland, or has the karma of City Lights in San Francisco, but in a way, it's close the same magnetism you feel in a really good used bookstore. Plan to spend time, and go oomph when you carry the stack when you leave. It's a dangerous place, with dangerous ideas. Go there.

I decided not to take the offer and then when I loaded up the books I noticed that there was a rare valuable book missing. When I confronted the owner about the missing book he played dumb and then when I started looking around behind the counter and stated that I saw him with it and told him the title, he conveniently found the book tucked under his desk right next to his leg. He tried to steal the best book and was going to let me pack up and leave. Luckily I noticed. The owner is a thief.

My evaluation of this bookstore is only as a visitor to campus and not as a student, which puts me…read morein a different category as someone who was only visiting Bloomington to celebrate a graduation. So, I obviously cannot offer an assessment regarding textbooks and wasn't looking for regular books per se, but I can advise re: Indiana University memorabilia, clothing and other items. The selection of these particular items was, in my opinion, better than what's available at most college and university bookstores. I bought a long-sleeved IU shirt and a notebook. These items were priced reasonably, and shopping here was a good experience.

If I were a student here, this is one place I would hang out to study, meeting with friends, and put my parents up at their hotel. I wandered the building for quite a while before I found the bookstore. University bookstores have evolved into more of an emporium for branded merchandise, which this store has in abundance. There's also a nice selection of books, some stationary supplies, and a space selling tech-related equipment. There's even an architecturally impressive multiple story open room that's also a nice study space. I picked up a calculator (yes I'm old school) and a few tchotchkes, and I was on my way, perhaps too soon.

Even with all the space they look pretty busy whenever I pass by, but that's only been on weekends, so it may be quieter during the week. On a weekend afternoon, though, you will not find quiet here. They have all the standard drinks you expect at a coffee shop and lots of fun specials, but the food selection is a little limited. I think they normally serve soup Mon-Sat but they were out when I got there. I got a bagel with schmear, a zebra (chocolate crinkle) cookie, and one of the February specials called "Opposites Attract" which was a raspberry chai latte. Everything I got was pretty good, especially the fresh, chewy zebra cookie. They warmed it up which made it just a little gooey. The raspberry chai was an interesting combination. i wasn't completely sold on the raspberry - I didn't dislike it but probably wouldn't get it again - but I think I liked the chai itself. The baristas and bookstore staff were all welcoming, and the vibe is very inclusive. I've come in and looked around the store a few times, and the staff seems approachable if you need anything but will leave you alone if you're just browsing.

Their latte prices are also as cheap as they can make them while still making a profit. A latte here would run you around $5 compared to the $8 or $9 at other cafes. They can also order any books you'd like if they don't have them in stock. Great book selection though and such friendly staff who are happy to help! This place is way more than a bookstore and cafe though- they host community events, have book clubs, hold poetry nights and more! You can really get involved in the community through a place like this! Wifi is good and free, plenty of space to study
