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.

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.

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....

TL;DR - Abhorrent customer service, avoid if you can…read more Went this morning, and the following happened: 1.) Customer service lady at the check out area greeted folks behind me but ignored me. 2.) I was looking for a book and happened to ask another employee for help at the exact time that another elderly lady asked for help. I mentioned she could go first and was ignored by both. 3.) I went to the check out area for help, and while she was checking out, she was also speaking to another employee about random things like the Knick's game, being from New York, etc. etc. while I stood waiting to be helped. I walked around to waste time before returning after the cashier employee was finally free. She asked if I was ready to check out and I replied that I needed help with finding a book. She motioned towards the first employee I had asked help from, and I told her that he had been helping (and still was) an elderly lady for a while. She then told me that the other employee who was still talking to the customer about the Knicks could help. I stood around awkwardly while they continued to talk as it was obvious I was waiting for them to finish so I could ask a question (we were all standing about 5 feet from eachother). After standing for a few minutes, I was done. I returned the books I was ready to purchase back where they came from and proceeded towards the exit. At that point, the customer who had been talking to the employee about the Knicks was leaving, and the cashier lady grabbed the employee's attention by stating, "This young lady needed help with finding a book." I responded, "No, I don't need help, I'm done." and forcibly opened the door, walking out. I overheard the Knicks-obsesssed employee say "Oh my!" or something to that effect as I left. There are too many stores around here for me to pay money for being ignored. Go elsewhere, preferably independent.

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.

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.
