We love Books A Million! Smells wonderful and its relaxing. The only issue we had was with the coffee shop. The lady in there, was rude and not interested in serving us. So...we chose not to get a thing. Other then that, its been great service . We have been shopping there for many years. Hope to for many more! Hopefully, we will get better service in the coffee shop because its really good! Thanks yall and God bless!

Very nice and professional staff. Especially the young man, whose name escapes me. But I know he goes to college there and is from MO/KS?

I hate to give a 1 star... but this place needs help. In the past I loved B.A.M. but my last visit was disappointing. Only one employee in the whole store and she was working the coffee β˜• shop. I needed help finding a book and she told me it would be easier to order it online. Really. The web site claims they had 10 in store. But she could not help me find it. Hire some employee, support your costumers needs. I hope you fix this.

I love that I can read the books before I purchase. There is a little coffee place right there to enjoy while I read! Great place to get your book fix! I would have given it 5 stars, but I think their buy back program is a joke!

Every single time that I have ever come into this Longview store, I have always been super impressed with both the customer service and selection. The associates are always super nice and knowledgeable and the books are laid out in a nice, easy-to-understand way. They have a plethora of collectibles too! The store itself is kinda small, but this location is DEFINITELY worth a visit.

Books-a-million has reorganized inside quite a bit over the years, took a quick minute to find where the board/card games were. Warm and friendly staff inside, all were more than happy to help. Always a pleasure to visit!

Review β„–22

I do wish that they would ease back on the toys. Its difficult, with young kids who arent big readers, to steer them away from all the trendy toys that are really quite pricey. Book selection is always fabulous and prices on those are always competitive.

Great facility, clean restrooms and I usually have no problems finding the books I need. The cafe is a plus because I can not get enough of the rich aroma of fresh coffee as I browse through books.

There were multiple sections that were all over the place. No markings to help on where I was in the section. It was all a jumbled mess. The site wasnt better. Ended up finding everything I needed on thrift books

Not enough registers open to accommodate customers, long wait in line. No one offered to help direct me in my search. Need to hire knowledgeable staff,and accommodate registers for customers.

Review β„–32

I like the store and they have a huge selection of great books but it is nearly impossible to find an associate to assist you. I guess it could possibly be because of Covid but the assistance was not the best before then either. Outside of this it is a great store.

I came in looking for the new Clive Cussler Book Marauder.. Somehow I missed it up front. After picking out several Christmas Books I went to check out.. I let Briana/ID 152574 know I couldnt find the book. She was AMAZING.. Looked it up for me and went and picked it up out of the front display. Shes an Angel.. I even renewed my BAM card... I felt like family in your store.. Thank You Briana!

They REALLY need more employees behind registers and on the floor during the holiday season helping customers. Or revert back to the Dewey decimal system. 2 visible employees (one helping locate books and 1 ringing people up), and 15 people in line.

I had to walk back and forth 3 times, in order to finally get one of the 2 workers, to come assist me. The guy ended up walking back with me and showing me. But, he really wasnt eager about it. The girl was no help. Was rude. Refused to move an inch to help a customer, and finally told the guy, can you just go see what shes looking at and show her what it is that shes missing or cant seem to figure out, even though its all labeled for her. I looked at her, and voice I know let her know real quick she had one job. She failed in my opinion and experience and knowledge of working in customer service positions. No extra mile w/ her. Hurts sales.

This is one of my favorite places to just go. The atmosphere is quiet they have a nice coffee shop inside, the staff are very willing to help, but also do not ask to the point of being annoying. They are totally fine letting you meander and look around. They have a huge selection of everything you could dream of. Its amazing.

Wished I lived closer. Stopped by just passing through town and fell in love. Its better than a Barnes&Noble and has good coffee not Starbucks. I spend about $100 on books and wished I couldve bought their membership but I wouldnt have gotten any use out of it. Highly recommend if you live in the area!

A bit pricey but worth it when you prefer to see/hold a book before purchasing it. I also love their gift sections as there is always something for everyone! A great way to get the kids more involved in reading. The store is always tidy and welcoming.

They have all sorts of books, audio books, magazines, toys, & lots of other stuff. The whole staff is helpful & friendly. If they dont have what youre looking for theyll try to get it for you. Or they will tell you where you can get it. I shop here & online for holidays, birthdays, & for all occasions.

Huge bookstore, complete with its own cafe. You can spend hours and hours browsing here. They also have a huge calendar/planner section and a massive selection of gadgets & gizmos. The workers are helpful. And now they sell gently used books alongside the brand new books (it’s good to have that option). They also have the Books-A-Million discount card that offers many benefits like free shipping along with 10% off purchases and other occasional coupons. They have ample parking. Location is conveniently along the W Loop 281. This one is right next to other shops. Always an enjoyable trip!

Review β„–87

There were two highlights that helped justify 5 stars. The person who showed us to the right section, then the cashier at the time of pay explaining the discount system. The first person knew where we needed to be and explained our options, the second person helped me to change my mind toward a more relevant of the two options. I will come again.

People who work here were extremely rude. The book selection was terrible and disorganized. The sign on the door says please wear a mask aka asking instead of saying must wear a mask. I would order online from amazon instead of coming here because they for sure will have the book you are looking for plus you don’t have to deal with rude associates.

As always, my shopping experience at Books-A-Million in Longview last night was everything I had hoped for. Shout out to Brianna who originally greeted me at the front and big thank yous to her for referring me to Raymond. Raymond is the bomb! He helped me find the perfect section to shop in and exactly what I was looking for in that section! It was right before closing but I was treated as if I was the first customer of the day! Big giant kudos to Raymond for helping me find the perfect gift for my dad!
