Books-A-Million #331 is in Arbor Place Mall. We visited a few weeks ago and were able to get some…read morecool books for a bargain ($4- $6). The under $15 cart caught my eye. I did not really see the variety of books in the store because I focused on the cart outside of the door, which mostly had children's books. I liked how they had Paw Patrol and Pj Masks books for my toddler (because they are both slightly relevant and playing on TV). The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the BAM! reward program. Although, I opted out of signing up that day, it is something to consider, if I keep purchasing books regularly. I recommend BAM! if you happen to be into reading :)

BAM! (BOOKS-A-MILLION)…read more I was totally surprised by this bookstore today because I never expected to see the return of bookstores in the mall. I love this! It is a great opportunity to purchase a useful gift, to give your kids a shopping break and to indulge your own interests. Although small, it still has many books and various items of interest available. My eyes locked on the calendar section because I love the daily calendars, (trivia, history, words, jokes etc). They are just very interesting or very entertaining. New additions include, people of Walmart and signs that you would see outside of churches. I opted to purchase the "Don't sweat the small things" calendar which will hopefully keep me focused on what's important and help me to better manage times of stress. It is a welcome addition to my tool box of ideas to help me live a more positive and calm existence in 2016. I also purchased one for my daughter who as a college student will definitely appreciate having a tool to help her deal with everyday stresses and concerns. Encouraging words are always appreciated especially for those of us who may get "stuck" and ruminate instead of moving forward.

BEST used book store in town! They have a whole FREE section of books, bookmarks, and stickers…read morewhich my son loves! Great vibe, great prices, and they offer an exchange program too! Friendly service. Saw a few groups of women playing ma jong, very neat

This place seemed a little sketchy from the outside; there was a messy cart of "free books" that…read moreseemed abandoned. Upon entry the place was well lit and buzzing with excitement for the author who was doing a signing. I wasn't paying close attention and didn't realize what it was at first, but there was so much animated conversation that I assumed it was a book club that was really enjoying themselves. It made the recovery from the free book cart mess easy to recover from. The staff was all super friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to search for titles and authors I was looking for and were happy to add more books to my pile (*wink). The only downer was that the shelves had no obvious organization and it was hard to shop on your own. Nothing is labeled consistently and I couldn't tell where one section ended and another began. One section even had a pink sticky note with a hand-written label. The staff also didn't keep a proper inventory and half of books the computer said they had were no where to be found. Bottom line is that this place was welcoming and had good prices. They do not buy books but will offer in-store credit for books you no longer want. Check this place out.

Went to grab a few books - I had already verified that they were in stock via the app. I found two…read moreof three, but couldn't find the third. I asked for assistance after three salespeople walked past me at customer service. The salesgirl looked at the same places I'd looked. When she asked her coworkers for help, they said no. Then she told me that her coworkers "aren't allowed to help her." I put the books I'd found back. I'll drive to a different store just to avoid this one.

I use to haunt this place day and night back in the days when I had my parents to mooch off…read moreof...(now that I'm having to pay my own bills and...you know...work)...I'm not so cozy with this place anymore....(this working thing is really putting a crimp into my lifestyle)...I still love this place its just that I now get most of my books off of Amazon.....I can't do Kindle...reading from it gives me a headache....I'm still old school.....There isn't much in ways of things I don't like about the store. Yes Amazon sells it for a lot less and the sections on Amazon can be better...but not always... For example if you're looking for hardcore literature Like Ann Radcliffe or Horace Walpole then Barnes and Noble is the place to go. Amazon has it as well but their selection is sketchy...they may not offer you the best edition out there. If you're looking for Business books then Amazon is a better option because I don't think this particular Barnes & Noble's business books selection is as good as it could be. On the other hand they have a pretty good manga and young adult selection....I imagine those books are more popular than say Originals by Adam Grant.....They had signed copies of John Green's latest Turtles All the Way Down....and even though I said I wasn't going to buy anything... I ended up taking home Haruki Murakami's book Absolutely on Music: Conversation with Seiji Ozawa. (Ozawa is my favorite living conductor so I couldn't resist even though Amazon has it for $4 dollars cheaper but I figured heck I want this and I want it now...) Anyway now a days when people chose books over all other forms of activities such as the internet, Facebook or even Yelp....it's always a good thing....

They immediately split, my little two took a left to the young adult and youth room and my teen took a right for non-fiction. They offer a great selection of all books! We loved the sitting areas with big windows that overlook Glover Park. We purchased two books and the gentleman working had great conversation with my teen and I as he rang up our purchases. We look forward to many return visits!

While parking can be a bit of a challenge during peak hours, the effort is well worth it. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by an inviting space, with separate rooms dedicated to various genres, allowing for easy browsing. There's a cozy couch positioned by a giant bay window which offers not only a comfortable reading nook but also a picturesque view of the square, adding to the overall charm of the bookstore. The selection of books is commendable, catering to a diverse range of tastes and interests. However, it's worth noting that the staff, though friendly, could benefit from more diversity. Nonetheless, their warmth and willingness to assist customers enhance the shopping experience. Also the bathroom was clean! Overall, The Reading Attic exudes a welcoming atmosphere, making it a must-visit destination for book lovers.

I've been coming to this wonderful, locally owned business for 30 years…read more They have all the things you're looking for: crystals, incense, books, jewelry, tarot decks, candler, herbs, Florida Water, wish paper, oils, holiday gifts, meditation bells, cards, and KITTIES! They have a few shop cats that are super cute and friendly. They do professional tarot and psychic readings here. They have multiple readers to choose from. They also have a lot of fun events. Look at their calendar to see what's coming up. I went to a tarot readers group years ago where we practiced reading for one another and that was a lot of fun! I hope to see many more years from this great store! Go check it out!

The parking lot is on a kind of weird hill but there's plenty of parking spots. The front door of the store opens to a small lobby with a cashier/desk, but the store is actually very large. We were greeted at both the front entrance and when we were in the jewelry/rock room. This is called a bookstore but it's really much more. The selection of books is vast and niche at the same time. I picked up a little astrology book I'm very excited to get into. There is a huge and stunning wall of rocks and gems you can self-service with a variety of types, shapes, finishes and priced at a very accessible level. I picked out several different rocks from the wall. They also have jewelry, candles, accessories, I can't even begin to list everything available here. The best part is the store cats. They are beauty, they are grace and I love them. Also wonderful the Sagittarius that rang up my purchases. I can't wait to come back and visit with my best friend again! Thank you Phoenix & Dragon!
