BAM!!! BAM! BAM!…read moreBAM! Did that make you think of Emeril? Or the Barney and Betty Rubble's precocious brat? It's just my nickname for this really cool bookstore (an acronym and making up cutesy slang for things- bless my heart). Bookstores seem to be passé since most use devices to read or go online. A lot of them seem to be a dying species- Wah! Something can be said browsing around leisurely and finding gems among the stacks. Then taking your find home and spending a few hours in that world. The store has great variety of books and print publications. There's an attached coffee shop. Free parking. One thing you might not expect is theres a lot of unique and silly gifts and merchandise. You know pens that have buttons that play sound clips from hit tv shows or comedy movies. Or bobble head dolls. Quirky magnets. Gag gifts. I liked tv show themed stuff. Fun place. BAM! BAM! BAM!

But that isn't really there fault, the books they sell are typically book they get donated so it's out of there control. -highly recommend if you live in the QC area. Best used book store in the area I've come across

Wow! First of all, I must say that SPELLBOUND in Rock Island is SOLID A+. Since moving to the area…read morefrom NYC, I'd been searching for a metaphysical shop (preferably that hosted classes)...and that's when the Universe guided me to SPELLBOUND (which offers all my metaphysical needs AND Saturday weekly classes!). I walked into this beautiful shop and immediately felt peaceful and at home. The husband-wife owner duo is divine. We know each other now since I come in often, and there's nothing better than being greeted with a friendly and helpful smile. Imagine incense, Palo Santo, California sage, crystals, stones, oracle decks and informational tools, beautiful handmade jewelry, essential oils, divination candles, dream catchers, etc... This place is heaven for me! It's my only go-to in the Quad City area for these items. Especially helpful around the New/Full Moons + Solar/Lunar Eclipses. Be sure to say hi to the owners when you come in, as they will happily engage in friendly conversation and do whatever they can to help you find what you're looking for. If you stumble in on a Saturday, be sure to pick up a schedule of their weekly classes (which are very affordable and inexpensive). LOVE Spellbound so much. A+ all the way! -Adam xoxo

Whenever I go to the mall I always park so I *have* to go inside Barnes & Noble. Unfortunately I was looking for a series of books that was online only. The employee that helped was very patient and helpful. Then onto my next favorite section. Looking for a specific style I went through the mass selection available, happy they had so much to offer. I didn't find exactly what I wanted, but it meant so much they tried to cater to different personalities/people. While their prices can be on the high end with some products, they also have great bargains on other items. During my hunt for a book there was a lovely lady with a tray filled with mini Starbucks samples. What a wonderful way to end my day!
