First day in Davenport and I stumble upon this bibliophile's paradise: a used bookshop with a…read moremassive collection run by a couple with a true passion for the written word and the readers who devour them. A treasure trove for Davenport and a spectacular find for sojourners like me. Source stands as bulwark against AI and the perverse notion that tech will better our lives. Reading a newfound used book is as good as it gets.

We were in the Quad Cities for a wedding. Saturday morning we had to kill some time. My wife was in…read morethe mood for coffee and my kids always like looking at books. After a quick online search we decided to go to Atlas Collective. Overall it was a nice bookstore. The inside was welcoming and there were a fair number of people sitting around drinking coffee and browsing books. My wife and cousins all got drinks and generally liked them. My kids founds a couple books that they liked and ended up getting one. I liked the vibe, and overall was happy with the visit. The only downside of the shop is that it is relatively small. They have an okay selection, but you are going to be limited in your choices. If your tastes align with the selection on hand you will be fine, but you could end up leaving empty handed.

The staff was gracious, the drinks were fantastic (I had the Artemis!), and the selection was diverse. There's also comfortable seating inside and coasters for your drinks so that you don't have to worry about ruining the awesome furniture. I will definitely be visiting again!

At any chance of helping out his employees, he would rather see another dollar in his pocket. His interview process is the worst I've ever seen. He sits you in a conference room and talks about himself, his properties, how much money he has, his kids, and his ex-wife. HARDLY professional. If you know what the Napoleon complex (or short man syndrome) is, then you have a very clear picture of who he is. I could go on and on, but I figured I would warn would-be job seekers with Mancomm. I looked for reviews like this and couldn't find anything, and I hope I can prevent someone else from wasting their time with the company. GOOD LUCK & Keep job searching!! They never post the company name on Craigslist because of the negative image! There was a running joke that over 80 people were "cycled" through in one calendar year! Shows you what kind of environment it is.

I would have kept looking if I'd known wifi costs five bucks here. Plus the coffee shop in here is freezing cold.(note that I'm writing this in January) My two cents: many book worms are into ereaders now. Bookstores should invest more space in kids book areas, magazines and a comfy coffee shop.

I will never ever return to BAM in Davenport because of how rudely I was treated by the employee who checked me out. After clearly explaining all of the benefits of their membership program, I respectfully declined. That could've been the end of it, but she persisted. I counted in my head, and I said no to the membership 6 TIMES!!! That is just plain ridiculous!!! I'm sorry but no means no!! I walked out of the store telling disgusted with the place. She made me feel bad and point blank told me I made "the wrong decision today." Very disappointed and won't be returning.

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

Love this store! I ended up starting the passport book tour here with my bestie!…read more The drinks are absolutely wonderful and staff had us laughing. This is a used bookstore that is very reasonably prices at $3 for paperbacks and $5 for hardbacks with a few other prices in between. They do game nights and have board games spread throughout the store. I really enjoyed having D20 die to figure out a drink because I happen to be very indecisive when there are lots of choices. We ended up a red wedding (17) and a stygian jungle night (18). Both were really good and my friend and I cannot wait to stop at this store again when we are back in town!
