Great selection of books! They have a wonderful selection of books, vinyl and etc.If you are looking for books this is definitely the place to go.Also, you can finds some really good deals in the 1/2 off (I. E. Clearance section).They also have a try the book program. My daughter love having that option.

Great book store! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. If youre looking for specific topics or subject matter and cant locate it in store then theyll help you out, and will make a real effort in locating the desired items either within their store or through their in-store order/shipment to your home service. Great deals, plenty of gift ideas for children and adults, all things for booklovers, outdoorsy types and techies.

Bookstores are even better when visited together with family. There are so few left they are like national treasures to me. While I do occasionally order books online, it is so much more fun to find hidden gems in person. I can get lost in a good book for hours. I was very good today- I only bought 1 book and 3 matching bookmarks for my mom, my sister, and myself. My husband was shocked. Usually I will find a big bag or two of books. I had to confess I had left my booklist at home. I did take pictures of numerous books that looked interesting so that I could look up the titles and authors later to make certain I hadnt already read them. The staff was very helpful. The bathrooms are open for use again which is always a plus! Especially after we had tried to eat inside at several restaurants only to discover they were take-out, pick-up, or drive-thru only.Thank you again to BAM for another pleasant time spent making new memories while browsing books.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Unlike other bookstores where I sometimes struggle to find anything interesting when just browsing, here the layout is setup in a way where I find too many books that pique my interest and I want to read.I recently joined their rewards club and have quickly saved more than the annual membership costs ($25).

This is a really cute place. One you can walk in look around and find things you arent even looking for. Its quaint, clean and very well organized.The staff is usually friendly and they seem to be following covid protocols.The only reason I am giving them a 3 star is because they are public place and they currently have their restrooms closed.I was there the other day and had time to browse, but I needed to go the the restroom, so I just got what I needed and left quickly. If I would have been able to go to the restroom, I probably would have had more time to purchase items I wouldnt have normally been looking for. It makes me wonder if they realize all the business they are losing because of this.I was at Barnes and Noble several times recently and I enjoyed going there because I dont feel the need to be rushed in case I need to use the restrooms.Just use caution here and know before you go. I bet sometime in the near future this will probably change.

This is a pretty decent place. Its a standard bookstore so you know what youre going in for. They really dont have very good bargains and their sales are moderate at best. They are pretty well stocked though so thats good. They claim to have used books but they really dont have any at all. Maybe five in the entire store and theyre not in their own section but hidden with the rest of the books. They have a sister store called 2nd and Charles which is where they send all of their used books so if youre looking for cheaper books then that is where you want to go. the store itself is pretty difficult to navigate because you walk in and the aisles themselves are just sort of thrown everywhere. You have to already be in the aisle before you can see the sign that tells you whats in that aisle so you have to walk around and around and around and around and around to try to find where anything is. They do have a website that you can order from which is nice. You can also order items that are currently out of stock and on back order and they will just send them to you when they get to it but shipping is pretty stupid because you end up paying a flat fee and then you end up paying more per book as well so they can cover the cost of them sending every single book individually which is on them and not on the buyer but the buyer is one has to pay for it anyways. The employees seem pretty nice and helpful but they could use with some better prices in sales and they really need to redo the layout of the store or have signs hanging from the ceiling or something. Most of us generally know what were going to look for and dont want to spend the first 2 hours trying to find the section.

Review №28

My first trip to this store was magical, and I truly believe it’s a fun place to stop in. It has so many things that my kids and myself enjoy. I also love that there’s discounted books, used books & brand new ones! You really can’t go wrong, and as a writer myself, I love to support bookstores (and I do support this one!!)I thought I’d found my home away from home, but during my first trip, the cashier was very aggressive about a membership that at the time, didn’t seem wise because I didn’t know how often I’d be in that area. My second trip, the same cashier, saw my children with toys in their strollers and wanted receipts for them when I told her I’d purchased them at the Tjmaxx next door. I get the logic in double checking to protect your merchandise, but you also should be aware of your merchandise - I don’t even believe the toys my children had were sold at the store.When I told her we’d need to go to the car to find the receipts, she instead checked the toys for tjmaxx stickers. I told my husband that we wouldn’t be returning, because those experiences together just didn’t feel right. I don’t think she handled it well & instead of politely asking me, stopped what she was doing with a customer because she freely assumed I was leaving with stolen things, and had no intention of trusting anything I said without proof. Also note, she saw us walk in with those same toys, so again, it wasn’t a pleasant experience for me and I won’t be returning.

Big Book Selection, Small local corner shop feel, excellent customer service, great atmosphere, friendly & knowledge staff, reasonable prices (Even BETTER than you would expect to see at the larger national chain discounted or bargain or value shelf). This location should be in every town. Wish I had discovered this book retailer sooner in life.

Review №38

My absolute favorite store on the face of the planet. Ive been here sooo many times, countless hours and still havent reached the far corners of the store. There are always new things to see and such a wide variety of items, not just books, for literally ANY interest you could possibly have or want. Gifts, toys for babies/kids/teens/adults, playing cards, tarot cards, birthday cards, mugs, Fandom collectibles, socks... the list is endless. I feel like theres magic in every little nook and corner I turn. The employees are always friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I did 75%+ of my Xmas shopping here and found something for everyone on my list. I love this place and often wish that they had more locations. Also have a very valuable rewards program!

I really liked this bookstore, actually it was better than Barnes and Nobles. They had a greater selection in the things I was looking for. The customer service was fantastic and my Daughters loved the kids area with tons of toys and books for them (which drove me nuts, lol). I am definitely going to become a regular. Awesome experience.

I was driving around to kill time before my appointment. I saw this place on the corner of 13/Southfield Rd. I wandered into a hidden gem with helpful, friendly attentive staff members. Huge selection of books as well as gifts, games, collectibles, and stationary stuff. They had an Alice in Wonderland display table filled with goodies! I bought a couple of books, signed up for a 1 year membership, and got a good discount with coupons! I will not be going to Barnes & Noble anymore. This place is way better to experience.

Review №59

Went to buy a book here last December. Very high prices. Cashier demanded I purchase a (very expensive) membership. I declined, and the cashier became almost unhinged, demanding I purchase a membership. I explained that I do not go to this bookstore very often, but the cashier would not let it go, holding up the line. Recently, Ive had several unauthorized charges on my debit card--magazine subscriptions I apparently purchased at Books-a-Million. Ive had to spend several days unsubscribing/calling vendors to get refunds for the unauthorized purchases. All for buying one book here. Never going back.

Stopped in to buy a book pertaining to the stock market. A nice male cashier asked another male cashier to assist me, the cashier refused, suggesting he would call a female cashier to assist. Because Ive seen this movie b4, I asked the initial cashier who was busy with other customers, in what direction are the books regarding finances. The second cashier was standing @ his register assisting no one upon the request. Customer Service was ZERO that beautiful day!!

I ordered off their website, and it took two weeks for my book to ship, when it said it was in stock online the entire time. I attempted to re-order the book to get it to ship faster, but couldnt even cancel my original order due to the status it was in, so I was forced to wait for the original order to ship. I cancelled my second order within 5 minutes of placing it, but my card was still charged for it. Ive emailed their customer service twice now, and have yet to receive a response from someone. Once I get this book that was supposed to be here in time to be a Christmas present for my dad, Im never using this service again. What a joke.

It seems like its really hard to find a brick and mortar bookstore these days. Books a Million is staffed with friendly people, and has a great selection of books and toys. My son loves it here, and any time he gets birthday money he wants to spend it here. If youre not an ebook reader or if you just want to check out some cool trinkets with your books, this is the place.

I love this bookstore so much. The employees are obviously treated well as they always seem genuinely happy. Weve gotten great book recommendations here. My 11-year-old has no idea what to read after spending a year on the Harry Potter series, and the young man with the deathly hallows tattoo was the perfect person to ask for spot-on recommendations.Also, the prices here cannot be beat. They are the best prices on books Ive experienced anywhere.I cannot say enough good things about this store.

Review №85

Given Barnes & Nobles well reported troubles and the closure of their West Bloomfield location a couple years ago, I am happy to have this Books-A-Million location nearby. It is on the smaller side with a somewhat restricted collection. They are always happy to order items online for you at the register but that misses the thrill of instant gratification. Yes, many brick and mortar stores are dying but I think bookstores have a place in the hierarchy of retail that makes them a social experience and part of the community. I hope Books-A-Million execs will recognize this and continue to invest in their stores.One new thing that I noticed today is that gently used books are being sold as part of the stock. Rather than mixing these books in with new books I feel they should be segregated.

What a variety. I spent way too much time here but found a pile of books that I cant wait to dive into. Cookbooks, magazines, and poetry just to name a few things I left with.

Good place to go for leisure or for quick shopping visits. Good, friendly service as well as a decent book selection. You can also find movies and toys/ collectables here. The only issue I can find is that they arent great about replacing/ restocking the books that get bought. However if the book is not in the store, it is online. The online service works smoothly and products in my experience have always arrived on time if not earlier.

Buyers beware, if paying with credit card. Double charged my card. Once I Saw the double payment I called the store. Manager later called me back saying that they did not see record of double payment. Was told to call corporate finance department. Called them and was told that they would research the issue and call me back. 2 months later no call yet. I did wait a week and filled a claim with my bank. Not once while talking to corporate or the store did I ever receive an apology for the inconvenience.

Friendly staff, and great selection of books in stock. There are always books on clearance, if youre looking for a bargain buy. They have a bunch of tat up by the registers, just like any book store does. Great selection of vinyl figurines, pop culture merchandise, and even some good records (you can get a halfway-to-decent record player too if you want). The comic book section doesnt seem to get the most recent issues in all that much, but they do have a wide selection, if youre looking to pick up something different. They even have some board games, movies, and toys for kids, so its much more than just a bookstore.
