Every time I looked through a shelf, I seen something new. There were a lot of different genres, however I don't think they were organized very well. It was also difficult to walk through the store as everything was pretty tightly packed in. The lady who checked me out was very kind. We had a brief discussion about the interview I was waiting to attend. She told me to remember to just keep breathing, which I appreciated greatly. Besides that interaction, no one else in the store talked to or approached me. It would have been nice to be welcomed in. Altogether, though, a very sweet shop ! With a ton of variety.

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.

I…read moreused a search assistant feature on my new model mobile phone to find Tracks, which I assumed was the town's horse racetrack. I had a hard time finding a place to park, due to the abundance of vehicles already taking up all of the spots. I drove for over an hour looking for a place to park. I eventually drove back to my home in Indianapolis, Indiana and took an Uber to Tracks. It was a long drive, but I gave the nice driver some very enlightening life advice as a tip. He was receptive, grateful and kissed my hand as I exited the vehicle. When I walked into Tracks for the first time, I knew I was in the wrong place. So I walked out the door and entered again. The second time, I knew I was still in the wrong place. I decided to ask some people in the shirt section what was going on and why there were no horses in here. No cashiers. No tickets littering the floors. They seemed genuinely confused, and offered me nosatisfying answer. I noticed a tall gentleman working behind the counter and thought "finally!, a guy who knows what's going on!". To the best of my recollection this was our conversation: "Hello, sir, I enjoy your location but dislike the parking options, could you point me to the horses" "Sorry about the parking it can be bad on the weekends. What horses do you mean?" "The racehorses, the ponies, where is the TRACK?" "Sir, we are a record store and sell IU merchandise, I think you might have us confused with someone else." "of course not, I knew all along" In an attempt to play off my blunder, I shimmied to the shelves containing large circular music. I browsed through their selection not knowing what to do next. My car was in Indianapolis, I spent all of my money on a Uber, and now I am pretending to want to buy circular music. When they weren't looking I did a military crawl out of the door. I am sure it is a good place if you want circular music or IU merchandise.

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 had over 12,000 comics at one point but finally gave them up when it was time to downsize our home. So when I entered this shop, there was a bit of nostalgia, especially when I saw the boxes of "vintage" comics sitting on a stand in the middle of the main room. What surprised me was that there were three rooms inside the shop. The comics and graphic novels that lined the shelves were grouped in the rooms by major brand, or children's, or independent offerings. I was the only customer mid afternoon on a Friday, so I was able to discuss the industry and offerings with the man behind the counter. Very friendly gentleman who brought me up to date on the major trends in comics/collecting. For those of you who are comic readers/collectors, know that this shop is devoted to the reading materials, not so much on the collectibles that some of the shops in the Indy area offer. But if you are into reading, I would say this shop has a wide variety on hand and seems like they will work with you to try finding something if they don't. Nice place to browse and hunt for your entertainment reading. Review #3292

The IU campus bookstore is well stocked; however, it is small and overcrowded making it hard to view all the merchandise. My boyfriend and I came to purchase six sweatshirts for gifts. When I asked if there was a fitting room, the sales lady replied with a curt no. Obviously, customer service or being an ambassador for the University was not thought of when hiring her. We told the sales lady we had come from Georgia for Thanksgiving and were visiting IU for the first time. We also told her we were planning to purchase a few sweatshirts as gifts and really needed to know how they fit. She had no compassion even when I asked if I could go try them on in the restroom. Unbelievable! I had to try on the sweatshirts on top of the sweatshirt I had on. In addition, there was only one mirror in the whole store. There were also several other customers wanting to try on items. Of course, after we made our selections and went to the counter with all six $55 sweatshirts, the sales lady was more than gracious.
