Books-A-Million

"Pretty good place, but hours online say 10pm, drove 30 minutes here for them to be closed at 9pm. Not cool, update your hours online guys!"

"The aisles are nice and wide enough to accommodate a knee scooter or wheelchair. The coffee shop has excellent regular coffee with creamer!"

"They definitely have a bit of everything. Staff was very helpful. Make sure you carry a tote bag because they are bagless. They do offer totes the small one were like $2 and the bigger ones are $5."

"I am a frequent visitor to the Spotsylvania Towne Centre. I normally park by the Books-A-Million. It is convenient because they normally have nice parking, and they have a restroom. I spend on average $300 a year here. I tend to compare their prices to Barnes and Noble nearby. Usually, their prices are comparable. I went in there last week and compared a Python book to the Barnes and Noble price and they were similar in price but went with Barnes and Noble because the pages were in better condition. I buy a lot of miscellaneous items from here around the holidays for family. However, my main reason for visiting the mall when I have free time is because it reminds me of childhood when my dad was alive. I normally visit this store with my friend because it reminds me of a happier time in my life. I keep to myself and do not bother anyone. But the past couple of times I have visited the bookstore we have been harassed passive aggressively. In January we went in there and my friend had to use the bathroom and she caught one of the girls looking over the stall at her while she was using it. Which encouraged us to not visit here for a few months. I have personally been back since then with one of my colleagues from work, but she has not been back. Yesterday was our first day back in a while. I parked at the bookstore because it’s convenient. While my friend was in the restroom, I was looking at the Star Wars books trying to find one I haven’t read in the past 15 years. We left the store and went into the mall to get lunch and I noticed the security guards were watching and following us. Which I found weird because I do not bother anyone. We went to two other stores. Then on the way back to the car I had to use the restroom. So, I decided rather than use the busy mall restroom I would use the one by my car which was in the bookstore. While in there the associate with purple hair decided to take it upon herself to “report us again”. Like we’re some common criminals. Making comments like “they never buy anything”. I love the store which is another reason why I parked by it. I felt profiled because I am a frequent visitor. I understand I dress like a bum when I come in there but that is because I am a federal employee, and I must dress up every day. So, when I am off work, I like to dress casually. I am disgusted with some of their employees. I also find it sad I feel like I need to justify myself and my reasoning as an adult. I will no longer shop or visit here, and I know a lot of people in the community and will discourage them from shopping here also. My recommendation to management (if they care) is to hire more mature staff."

"BAM is a really good bookstore with a wide variety of choices. This bookstore seems to be very popular with a wide range of people and ages. There are many comfortable seats to take advantage of when ensuring you are choosing the correct book."
