I go here maybe 3 times a year, and every time I do, I am hassled to sign up for their membership, or pre-order some movie that is coming out. When asked if I would sign up, I said no thank you, and was responded with "thank you? sounds like a yes to me!" I laughed it off, but was then asked if I wanted to pre-order Star Wars on Blu-Ray, and kindly said no thank you, and was again hassled about it. I eventually said that I plan on downloading it from Amazon, as I like to stream, and was met with the response "its people like you that are going to put me out of a job!" No sir, its people like you, that are going to put you out of a job. I will never shop here again, as not because it is cheaper online, its because I dont feel like being verbally harassed about crap that I do not want. I stuck around to watch he next guy check out, just to be sure that this guy didnt have something against me, and he was hassled the exact same way to sign up for a Membership, and Pre-Order Star Wars. The guy was buying a freaking CANDY BAR. I like going out, and spending my money locally, but it felt like a drug dealer trying to push trying heroin out on me.

I love this store! Its always neat and organized and the staff is always very nice and extremely helpful. Plus they have a huge clearance section where they sell many different genres of books and their mostly best sellers so their books that you actually want to buy. I buy a lot of my books here and I love that I can get a brand new best seller for between $3.97- $6.97 (they have hard cover too) I always check their clearance section before I buy a book to see if I can get lucky and get it on sale. And most of the books they have on clearance are newer books that just came out within the past year or 2 and the majority of them are best sellers. For bookworms like myself its book heaven. Barnes and noble has a very small clearance section but the majority of the books they have on clearance are classics or older books that just arent selling. So its. definitely no where near as good as B.A.M. This is hands down my favorite book store!!!

Friendly, helpful staff. Plentiful, well-laid out inventory similar to Barnes & Noble. Free Wifi in the shared space with Joe Muggs coffee shop, which includes indoor/outdoor café seating. The business section could use some additions: there was not one (1) book I could find on Strategic Business. The travel section is decent with a large choice of Florida travel. Great place to find a good read at a descent price: 40% off new arrivals and up to 80% off clearance. The very large discount section includes a vast array of teen, fiction, cookbooks, and others -- possibly some coffee-table collectibles such as The Simpsons and The Art of War.

Great place for an outing with my kids. They love the toys and books. The staff is very helpful. The pastries at the coffee shop are usually stale or taste like the boxes they came in and the coffee drinks are too sweet. I dont like that the continually try to get me to sign up for free magazines that arent really free. The company is a complete scam and it bums me out the this great book store supports them. We always have a good time here though - so 4 stars!

My first and last visit to this store. They have a scam that offers you free magazines at check-out and then they start a recurring charge to your credit card - and in my case was my debit card. Had three charges to my checking account before contacting the fraud department. Beware!

I love this store. Only store in the city I know of that stocks all of Bill Johnsons books, not to mention a good selection of Rick Joyner, and other hard to find Destiny Imagine titles. Also a great selection of the old classics such as Andrew Murray and Spurgeon.

Thanks a million to Books A Million! Will is amazing! He completely set up a childrens event for me. I had a kids language event and he was super accommodating. I highly recommend using this space for a childrens event. Pastries and coffee were delicious!

The cashier was willing to discount a book Id been looking for. It was the last one and the corner was a bit bent. He was very pleasant.
