The Selection Of Movies Was Jam Packed! The Service Was Good…read moreAnd The Value Was Great And Cheap 10/10 If You Want To Buy Some Movies That Is Not Goodwill, I Recommend This Place!

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.

As a gentleman of masculine pastimes, whenever i go to a new town I immediately begin gambling. 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 decided not to take the offer and then when I loaded up the books I noticed that there was a rare valuable book missing. When I confronted the owner about the missing book he played dumb and then when I started looking around behind the counter and stated that I saw him with it and told him the title, he conveniently found the book tucked under his desk right next to his leg. He tried to steal the best book and was going to let me pack up and leave. Luckily I noticed. The owner is a thief.

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.
