A Christian based book store with friendly employees and coffee! So glad they are a part of this…read morearea. They have a breakfast and lunch menu, too. I love "the barnyard," ham/Swiss/honey mustard grilled panini. It doesn't matter if you want coffee, lunch, or are looking for an inspirational gift, they will have something for you. They even have a good selection of kids toys. I do wish they opened earlier than 8, though, because for coffee... most people have to be at work earlier than that. I used to stop in on my way to work before their hours changed.

Seriously, the best looking things in the store are the anti-theft devices at the door. They're sleek and clear, like TelePrompTer glass. The rest of the dump is falling apart. Don't brave the bathrooms. Ignore the leaky roof above the cafe. If the Salvation Army ran a bookstore, this would be it. The Anderson family, which owns the Books-A-Million brand and lives minutes from here, should be ashamed.

Super cool little shop!…read more There's a wide selection of new and used books. They also have a little rack just inside the door of free books. They have all genres and large section of children's books. I was even able to find one in Spanish and an ASL book. There's all kinds of stickers, bookmarks, coffee cups, magnets, pins, and other book themed things. Employees were sweet! I didn't realize until we got to the back of the store that there was also a little coffee counter too!

So much more to offer and they rotate stock (and or just sell it really quickly). If you're into comics, this store needs to be on your list of places to check out. Variants you will only be able to find online (maybe ebay) are displayed in a few different areas. Well worth a trip in to check them out. Always pop in here for a few minutes when we are in the area.

NOT, I repeat, NOT worth your gas money in an attempt to sell OR get store 'credit' for your books…read more I had read that they only give $.50 on the dollar. I went up on Amazon, found the USED price for each book, cut that in half...and, took $120 worth of books in for sale. Their OFFER was $4 cash and about $6 in-store credit. If you have the time and energy, go up on E-Bay and find your same books that have SOLD, and deduct them off on your taxes. E-Bay is considered FMV for your items. Otherwise, take them to your local library (Friends of the Library Store - a 501(c)3 or Thrift Store. The worst practice of this store is that they make you an offer...and, if you don't respond in 24hrs, it goes to in-store credit. Laughable if you're selling -just another gimmick to KEEP your books for their own profit. Even if you accepted their offer, you have to come IN-PERSON as the e-mail/text does NOT contain the offer. Again, a gimmick to KEEP your books for THEIR profit.

We recently took over $500 (used) books into 2nd and Charles and they said they would text and…read moreemail us once the books were evaluated. I just called since we had not heard from them and they said they finished the evaluation on 5/30 (day after we took the books in) and they said since we didn't respond they gave us store credit of $57.00 and the cash price would have been $27.00. There were books worth over $100 used and they were going to give us only .25 per book. This is a ripe off. It might be a good place to buy books but don't sell your books to them.

Tons of books, coffee mugs, greeting cards, Jim Shore items, an excellent selection of Willow Tree items including several versions of the entire Nativity Scene! They also have a small-ish selection of tee-shirts, and a huge selection of books of course, including Bibles. They engrave books/Bibles here, also. They sell items for church services, too, such as communion wafers, cups, and trays for the Eucharist and for a nice gift for your favorite Priest, they have a really nice travelling Eucharist kit. This is a fun place to browse, in an older strip mall by McDonalds.

They've forgotten why people go there in the first place…read more What's the point of having a physical book store if you can't find the physical books you want? Obviously, they can't stock everything, but it's maddening when you want to read a new series . . . and they don't have the first book in the series. This has happened multiple times to me at this location. If you're going to stock a book series, make sure you stock all of them, especially the first one. Yes, I know you can just order it online, but that entirely defeats the purpose of a brick and mortar bookstore.
