Besides Bass Pro Shops, congratulations to 2nd & Charles for being the only retail store to survive…read morethe Harrisburg Mall. A huge store located in the former Toys R Us, with a tremendous selection of kids' books, records, and toys across all categories. There's even a free Mother's Day card creation event this Saturday for children. Plenty of staff around to answer questions. I need to bring in my husband's barely used hardcover books for reselling. Living in this digital age, it's great to see 2nd & Charles thriving. If you want new or get a great value with slightly used books, try the 2nd & Charles bookstore for a curated book experience.

The selection here is certainly not as vast as the ones I have been too in Virginia. But they have quality. Pricing actually feels cheaper too. Not exactly sure what some of the bad reviews regarding that issue are, but they should try to visit the other locations if they think this one is bad.

Definitely "Books-A-Million " with the largest selection of books for adults and children. If you're in the market for a hard-copy magazine, it's sad that digital has reduced the overall selection. Joe Muggs Coffee area looks like a great place to read or work with a cuppa. Themes: USA 250 years, Romance Novels, and Summer Reads.

This location wants to be Barnes & Noble so bad that the experience is almost the same. It's not terrible, but it isn't innovative or special. The bargain sections often have interesting gift books, but the joy of finding that uncollected special order in a clearance bin is now a distant memory. If I want to buy someone's bestselling hardcover for 90% off, I can snatch it up here, assuming I don't want to wait for the free shipping from Amazon or another online resource. I regularly find more interesting books at Ollie's just up the road. I found nothing here worth waiting in line to buy in the past year or more. Granted, the store is clean, and the staff is helpful. It's just wholly unremarkable as a bookstore. If your thing is toys for adults with disposable income (aka collectibles), they have a huge section surrounded by hundreds of Funko Pops. But there is nothing here I cannot find online and possibly cheaper. I typically only visit when Lady Matilda is over in the Michael's located next door, and, as this is deep within the retail hellscape that is Colonial Park, I try not to come by very often.

The second he read off to me about the photos and the reviews. I said OK let's switch the GPS to go to this location. To say "I'm glad I went" would be an understatement. When we first arrived, I quickly realize it's a small town that it's located in but a warming aesthetic, standing from the outside looking in you can just tell it's nothing but treasures awaiting to be found. From the warm greeting from Tom himself, down to him taking notice to the people that walk in and placing a track on the player they may like or even if they ask for certain artists record, he will go and run and put that on for them which I thought was extremely caring, but it also let me know how much he cares about the people who come in, what he do, and how his store is ran. He was kind enough to recommend places for my husband and I to visit in London for our honeymoon. I really enjoyed mingling with other people who share alike interests in this shop. Tom has created a great community place to meet new people and perhaps make new friendships. I adore all he has in his shop its the black hole of records or doom scroll of records lol. I drive 1hr and 7 mins from Maryland just to come to this store; Rock and Roll Graveyard is a great 36min spot from me but this one I fell in love with. Thank you Tom!
