Not to mention if you remember you can sit and relax in a quiet atmosphere focus on what youre reading or just think things through coffees great have a great day

My daughter and I was able to stop by and kill some time here. We had lots of fun reading and looking at the games.

Was greeted at the door. Employee was knowledgeable and walked me to the book I was looking for. Super clean place. Smiles everywhere.

So happy this store is still here! It is our only bookstore about 2hrs in any direction. Thank you for the many choices. My only complaint would be that they have more hardback books in the store, rather than having to order online.

I enjoy looking at all the books here. Could spend hours in here. Friendly staff. Nice facility

Very well organized store compared to some of the others Ive been to. Also very friendly staff and management.

Don’t buy here, they don’t honor the refunds and returns policy. I just tried to make a return on a gift I bought. I brought it back just a day after I bought it, in perfect condition with the receipt ! I was told by the manager I could only get a gift card because the plastic film covering had been removed, so the books were ‘no longer sellable’ ?? Terrible customer service. Avoid here everything is double the price of Amazon anyways.

Simply one of my favorite places.

The remodeling looks great 👍

Found way more than needed however low staffing had me waiting a while.

As always it was good. I forgot my wallet and they held my book for me until I came back. Very friendly. I fou d what I needed quickly.

Went in for a few books by my favorite author. Had a few on the shelf. Asked if they could order some gor me n said no. Was in a rush to get me and my wife out the store because they even asked me u know u need to hurry cuz u know we close in a little bit. I just told them I know and went about my business to search for what I needed since the three associates were all in their phones and no help whatsoever. I used to deal with the public, n that my friends is the complete opposite of customer satisfaction. Lost a customer for life due to 3 employees that simply were rude with no common courtesy and no intention of helping the customer but every intention of having their damn nose in a phone. Thanks BAM!

Great book selection; they are more than happy to order in anything that they don’t immediately have for you. The little cafe area is nice as well and the coffee there has always been good.

Got this book super cheap. Have good bargin deals there. Also used books for good prices .

The prices can be pretty high, but there are clearance sections worth crying over. I never spend less than an hour here because it is so much to take in. I love this bookstore. The clerks are always helpful and the book sections are easy to find. They do buy back used books, but its for pennies and dimes. I still appreciate the service just to get some books off my hands and make some room for the new books I get here!

Wonderful books in anything you need, if not in stock they are willing to order.

I love it

I walked in there and the vibe was really chill and welcoming. As I’m browsing through the books selection I buy my sisters some drinks and the guy making the drinks was very friendly, they tasted amazing. When I needed help finding a certain book the staff was very helpful and polite. BAM! Is one of my favorite places. If I could give them 10 stars I would but I’ve only got the five.

Found some good books, though I feel lied to quantity wise. There was definitely not a million of them

Awesome experience. They were able to help me find the books I was looking for despite the vague memory of what it was about. Loved their customer service. Also if you are looking for used books they have a great selection.

Always love to find a good book store. They have a great variety, they were however, out of the book we were searching for and their price for ordering the book is the same as you would pay if you were ordering yourself. The staff is very friendly of course they have great lil extras throughout the store.

Such a quiet and peaceful place to find any book or trinket youd like! Very nice music and places to sit and read.

Only place I can get my vinyl records. Love that.

They had a good selection and pretty good prices. Love the sales today was buy 2 get the 3rd free. Our boys loved the Pete the cat books and who was that books

I love this place!!! The atmosphere is so relaxing and fun, and they have just about any kind of book youre looking for, from action, romance, new age, crime drama, kids books, etc. My 3 year old twins even loved it because it has toys available there. The employees are friendly and helpful as well. I will definitely go back there.

My daughter and I can go into the store and stay for like ours,I love the store is clean the guest friendly its quiet

Cool collection of everything. But only dislike realized our movie picks were not in their cases. After returning to store to get them clerk said sorry all movies we picked out were not actually available. Real disappointed!!

Trying to find an employee on the floor was impossible. When I finally found one, she was sitting behind the counter on her phone. I asked her if she knew whether or not the store carried a particular book, she was of no help at all. I walked out to my vehicle and ordered the book from Amazon. Should have done that in the first place. I wasted a lot of time searching the store on my own.

Its one of the few remaining elements of popculture in the Central Louisiana area (as of Summer 19). While the Manga and Graphic Novels/Comic Compilation Volumes are of a respectable count, they have changed their handling of individual comics and no longer have new releases of individual comic issues. Its in a decent location despite the aforementioned concerns.

Always a good experience shopping here. They almost always have what I am looking for. Staff is always helpful and friendly.

I always enjoy a visit to the bookstore. Seems like I always leave before I am actually ready.

Other than a principle employee standing by the front door smoking a cigarette on the look out(?). Sometimes employees lose site of why they are there.its a typical nice book store with a small coffee shop. Coffee is good and service is friendly. The store is well maintained and so the missing BNobles in this town is not a big deal.

I was not happy with my experience today. There were four workers and they were all congregated behind the register. Never came out when I needed help. Also I was unaware of their return policy. I can understand if you dont have a receipt you cant return something, but then the worker said they would exchange...as long as you had a receipt. I wouldnt exchange a book for the same book so this made no sense to me. When I asked if we could exchange one book for another in the same series I was told no. They just werent very helpful and honestly the store was a mess. Too much merchandise in a small area. I wish we had more options in town.

Huge book store with a great coffee shop inside. With the closing of the Hastings store, this is the go-to place for Alexandria. They have a large variety of book categories, as well as comics and gifts. Its clean and well organized. The staff is friendly and willing to help.

Very friendly and helpful staff. It had been many years since going into a Books-A-Million, and was surprised to see how nice it was, especially being a stand alone building. I did not get to try the coffee shop, but there were numerous people in line for a beverage. I look forward to my next return.

My daughter and I enjoy coming here. The frozen hot chocolate is great. We enjoy sitting talking, reading and just enjoy our visits

Clean, quiet, friendly staff and good coffee. Its what a book store should be.

Have always shopped BAM online so was jazzed to see an actual store. Was a little disappointed with the reference/study material but bought quite a few magnets, calligraphy pens and travel books. Will be back next time in the area. A pleasant way to wile away some time on a Sunday afternoon.

The inside of the store always seems neat and well kept. Not so much for the bathrooms. The staff is polite and helpful but not annoyingly helpful (a plus imo). They have a pretty wide selection and offer to order anything they dont have. The coffee is alright (I had a mocha). The bathrooms could really use some help though. They look and feel dated and dirty, they often dont have toilet paper. Everything else is fine though.

One of my favorite places in Alexandria. I love the smell of coffee while I browse for books and pop culture stuff. Highly recommend.

Its Alexandrias only bookstore now that Hastings has closed. The coffee shop is nice, the toy selection is good, and there is a decent selection of books. It would be nice to have a kids play area (like Barnes And Noble often does) with train tables and benches for parents to sit on and read while their kids play or a stage with fun activities for kids (book readings, etc).

Clean, quiet, entertaining. They have a great selection fandom gifts, books and shirts. Lots of blind bags, surprise boxes that you cant find in many other places in town. A great kids section that even has lots of the trending toys. A FULL rack ( wall) of magazines and a nice selection of Bibles in many different translations. A great place to purchase a gift card for that hard to buy for person in your life. Also, a coffee shop built right in!! Thats always a plus!!

Excellent selection. Biggest book store in town. Good service. Highly recommended.

Good selection of new releases and classics (awesome deal on classics, check it out). I couldnt give BAM a four or five because it is a bit loud to do any reading and the cafe is pricey without the quality to back it up. Still, not a bad bookstore.

Excellent variety of books as well as vinyls, pop culture trinkets, popfunk figures, board games, magazines, ect. sections are all labeled and easy to find. customer service just okay. not many employees on the floor to help. otherwise, great coffee shop in store and lounge chairs available to sit and sample books, read and relax.

Just a nice, clean and quiet place to prepare yourself before Walmart...lol...jkidding

Keep hearing rumors its going to close. Some people like to hold the book while reading. Love books a million.

Great customer service. Petes coffee inside is awesome

Love to visit the stacks, drink coffee with friends and indulge my reading addiction. The staff is very accommodating and the selection is great. My only complaint is that the mens bathroom always needs attention. It doesnt smell good at all, is dark and dingy. If they could update the bathroom and keep it clean theyd earn that 5th star.

Nice workers that will help you find what your looking for. 4stars just cause books are a bit pricy

Nice store where you can drink coffee, tea, etc while looking over a stack of books you are considering purchasing. Prices much higher than buying on line of course.

Nice place, with many trinkets and a coffee shop with very friendly barristas

This is my happy place. Clean, well lit, and full of books! Coffee available is an added bonus.

Enjoyed with my three grandchildren the twins are 6 years old and the brother is 3 every one of them enjoy there self had books and games and toys that they enjoyed looking at also picking up these items and enjoyed it more this was their first time and were going back on the weekend we went at 3 p.m. the atmosphere was wonderful for children and there were more children there enjoying Books-A-Million

Too bad books aren’t as necessary as they used to be. I read mostly on my tablet, but I used to spend my spare time and money here. The online site will let you know if a particular book is available at the local store, that’s very helpful. The layout used to be better. It’s a little confusing to find what you’re looking for, and not much help on the floor.

Parking lot was nice as I ate taco bell take out

A good book store! Im glad this place and Hastings are here. Great place to take the family on a weekend and browse. Theyve got all kinds of things at Book-A-Million, and it seems to be well-organized and stocked.

One of the fanciest places in Cenla. So much to choose from. You can literally spend hours in this store and probably literally spend hundreds in those hours.

Great varity of books. Friendly and helpful staff!

Very quiet place for reading but prices are a little high.

They really do have a million Books! Great place for the written word... Friendly helpul staff, lots of other stuff other than books well worth a visit

Great visit. Found the book I wanted to read.

This location is still closed as of October 20 due to damage from hurricane Laura, but Google thinks it is still open.

Love to wander through a bookstore with a hot cup of coffee. Staff is helpful. The buying club is a deal if you go regularly and can be used in the cafe as well.

Something for literally everyone. Great last minute gifts for even the most eccentric, has-everything recipiant.

Im really glad theyve expanded their model to allow more vinyl and games and such. Staff is always helpful and the store in order.

They are always so nice and I love sitting in their way too comfy chairs to read in

They have everything I like to read at good prices. Friendly staff

Amazing selection and a very helpful staff. Found a book there that I had been looking for for a very long time.

Really good at advertising for its events, but the events themselves I find lacking. Some BAMs have sections for children that have the little seats and chairs for them to relax and little things to keep them busy, this one does not.Other than these two things its an amazing store, the staff is personable and helpful. And the coffee! D-licious!

Great selection of books and helpful staff.

Excellent service, wide selection of books, and a nice coffe shop. What more could you want from a book store?

Always have the books I need. Very helpful in finding the ones I want. Great bookstore.

Nice and quiet conducive to relaxing reading a little and picking out subjects that interest you.

Wonderful staff very clean store very organized materials are very easy to find will be back again and again even with Kindle you still need real books 📚

BAM! is amazing. Thats all I gotta say.

Ive been having good luck with the staff lately finding books. The reference desk is usually where a bookstore is either make or break, and it seems they have some staff that actually cares now. Its not the best book store Ive ever been too but its a good one. And its the only one in Alexandria. I like that they still sell books, some book stores have gotten too far away from books to try and keep up with the times. When I go to a book store I dont want to be surrounded by the latest as seen on TV pancake flipper and automatic sock self installers. I like it when they stick to books and similar things.

Quiet and you can smell the COFFEE. Seating is nice not crowded. Nice gifts too.

Good service but didnt have what I was looking for

Love BAM!! Never go without buying something!

Was offered 3 free magazine subscriptions and when I asked Brenda (I think) (red hair, glasses, lots of makeup) if my card would be charged, I was told no. This was a lie. After the 2nd free magazine, your card will be charged for a full year subscription for each of the free magazines that were offered to you. Please avoid these free magazines and the lies they tell you. This should be illegal.

I just love being able to get pretty much any book i want drom this place

Great staff & great coffee, but AWFUL bathrooms. 😅

Great selection and staff. Higher cost, but only extensive book store in area. A must visit regardless.

Great employees, reasonable prices, relevant merchandise are all things one should expect when visiting this store.

When in the mood for a good book this is the place to go, its a relax atmosphere, the customer service reps are very knowledgeable and friendly. I have to say I never had an issue when I went here.

Quiet place to have coffee, read about,do a puzzle and a nice conversation

This place is like a second home to me! No electronic device will ever replace the feel and scent of a good book!

Great wide variety of books and odd ball stuff with a really good coffee shop.

They are always changing the products around. You run in to pick up something, you go were you went last time and they have moved it.

Place is nice and affordable. A book lovers dream. They buy books and CDs as well. Makes it feel even more affordable due to this.

:) Everything you want is here...evrry geeky dream come true! Love it great sales, discounts are abundant, millionaires club is fantasticCoffee is alright could be better but its coffee

Nice place to browse both new and gently used books. If only the store would sponsor a few genre-based reading clubs.

Great selection of books and etc... Joe Muggs is great!

Always enjoy BAM! Love the barista with the man bun!

Good has to order a book didnt have it in stock.

One of my all time favorite, very fun place to go

I really enjoy our Books A Million. The bathrooms could be a little cleaner, and sometimes the merchandise gets in disarray. Other than that, its a nice place to go and study or look for the next weekend read.

Best chain brick and mortar book store I have been to. Would highly reccomend going in if even just to have a cup of coffee which for being a no name coffee company they make an awesome cup off coffee/foo-foo drinks [I couldnt think of a better word for it]

One of only a handful of places in Alex where xenoculture exists. Unfortunately it arrives with too many sales pitches, especially at the register. Good selection of standards and oddities.
