Pretty pricey but slam packed with super cool things besides just books. Great selections of books though! Definitely worth walking in! Youll find something you love whether its your love of literature, toys, games, coffee, or stuffed animals! All ages are covered in this store and staff is super helpful and kind!
I absolutely loved the manga they have here, my most favorite one right now is Haikyuu vol 16 cause like, iwaizumis arms
Great people team work dream work and Bible Studies lets go God bless
I always do a full circle around the book store. I got a thumb holder that allows me to keep my books open and I found a few more poetry books by Amanda Lovelace and r.h. Sin and Samantha. I also found some cute moon book marks 🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔if you purchase lots of books I recommend the membership which they said also works at their sister stores like 2nd and charles.
Staff is always standing by ready to help! Lovely Cafe to just sit down have a coffee and read too. Forever my favorite BAM store
Great deals and really friendly staff. We will definitely be back!!
Excellent place of business. So many choices! I could spend all day in this place
Excellent service, books and prices.
First time I have ever been in there it was super nice. A very large selection for anything you are into also have kids toys a cafe and cool art work I would go check it out
Was super excited about seeing this store! Service was great, store was a bit cluttered but clean. If Im ever in the area Ill definitely be back
Too many employees standing around and not knowing anything. Management needs to be on the floor more instead of in the back room doing nothing and laughing so loud that u can here them like they are partying in the back room.
Good place to buy ur favorite book.
The people that work there were very helpful and super nice on my last visit. The manager was very knowledgeable on a wide range of topics. He looked up many books and would gladly order anything i needed if it was out of stock. Definitely reccomended this books-a-million over the one in Huntsville. The staff was excellent!
This books a million has a large selection. But it is very dirty. The ladys bathroom looks like it hasent been clean in a long time.
Always a great place to shop for anything book-wise; theres always something to pique your interest without fail. Theres the usual enticing coffee bar, as with all book stores, which is a plus. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that theyre not open 24 hours a day. Id love to be able to browse with a cup of coffee at 3 a.m.
Had a plethora of books to choose. A great place to go and enjoy a love of books.
Really friendly staff with great customer service. Love Joe Muggs. The new white chocolate raspberry, omgoodness!
The 2 ladies working the coffee counter were just plain awesome. My hot drink was made just right and the giant cupcake plushie was adorable. They were quick efficient and polite, which is what I want from the service industry. These ladies went above and beyond good customer service. If BAM has a customer service award. The ladies need one. And yes Im going to fill out the survey on the receipt.
Nasty books at front of store. Should be in the back so children cant see them
They had tons of books. Not quite 1 million. Thats false advertising, but it was still a good bit. More than I could read while I was there. Bathroom was crazy with the smoke machine.
Nice place for books! Feeds my addiction nicely :)
Just about every book you want and lots of cool, different items
Its a nice place to pick up a good book
Some of the staff arent very social, but overall I could get help looking for whatever I needed..
My sister and I went in with the intent of buying a book series we’ve been looking for. As soon as we began looking around and passing employees they would look away and ignore us; not a single person asked if they could help us find what we were looking for. We looked for at least two hours with no help at all before we gave up. And when we went to check out, the girl didn’t ask anything, just told us our prices. And when we left- absolutely dismissive and rude. I’ve always loved this store through the years and never had trouble in the past. But these past couple of years, that place has just gone to the dogs. It’s dirty, filthy and disorderly. If things don’t change, they’ll be two less customers who are regulars. Today was the final straw!
I bought some awesome books for my family and plan on buying more, plus you can donate a book to your local mental facility which im sure is much needed.
Nice bookish atmosphere. Joe Muggs coffee shop is a decent place to relax with a cup.
This is an Amazing Books-A-Million everyone is so sweet there, Books-A-Million has always been a second home to me, so its nice to go to an amazing calm environment .
Great place to ship for books and Nick nacks. Great little coffee shop inside, nice friendly staff.
Just looking around & trying the seasonal frappe at Joe Muggs Coffee area section which is good for the taste.
Nothing like a good book and a frappe!
Sat in the coffee shop waiting for my Pomegranate Green Tea 30 min while they made a coworkers drink and 3 other orders behind me until they finally remembered I existed and all I got was a sorry about the wait on a drink that shouldve taken 2 min.
Very nice needs more seating and spacing between such
I love this store!!! They have something for everyone!
Ordered online to pickup in store. All of the books in the series were available but they couldnt find one of them. Wanted to charge me double to get it at a later time. Cancelled my order for all of the books, but the charge is still showing deducted from my account. They said the money would not come out of my account unless they completed the sale. Well they were wrong. I was charged for all 4 books and received none of them. I will be there in the morning to see about getting this straightened out. I do not recommend buying online and picking up in store.
When I went to check out there were no employees at the register. They were all hanging out at the Joe Muggs area. Took a few minutes for anyone to realize that customers were waiting. Not very good customer service.
Great place, vast selections!! 👍🏽👍🏽
The service is always stellar, and the coffee fantastic! I love the staff and enjoy my interactions
It was eh. Nothing special but was clean.
Nice sized store. Magazine selection is usually a month to 3 months or more behind. Moderate book selection. Could be better. Cafe is very slow. Ordering books.... sometimes you get them, sometimes they cant find that you ordered, sometimes youre still waiting 6 months later...
Good selection courteous service
There was a woman in the atore with a dog that growled and appeared to be aggressive. It had no distinct harness so I had no way to know if it was a service dog. But service dogs by law arent supposed to make any growling noises. When it first acted aggressive, she didnt even have the leash in her hand. Plus I couldnt find the books that I was there to purchase.
Standard Books-A-Million. Lots of selection, clean, usually quiet, and friendly enough. Has a mini-Starbucks inside. Be warned that they will ask you if you want to become a member, and offer a couple of immediate discounts; they may fail to mention that the membership costs $25.
We love this store, its totally awesome. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because in the last 6 to 9 months they have not restocked their coloring books at all. I know the hype of adult coloring books is not as popular as when it was when 1st starting to be introduced everywhere.... but some still love it and use it to pass the time with which includes my mother. She couldnt even find one to purchase.
Friendly and nice even though they have to wear masks all day because of the Rona!
Awesome book store great variety of books and toys
I love Books-A-Million. A week ago I needed help finding a couple of books. The cashiers acted as if it was a bother to stop talking and help me not the usual for this place. Every other time has been a pleasant experience.
Wonderful experience in this technological age this is a very stimulating hands on experience. To actually hold the books in my hands of great writers is really inspiring. Also, everything is ordered and in different sections so your particular interests are not lost in all the titles. Taking a child into the childrens section is magical. Along with all the books they also have merchandise for book lovers.
Staff here is very friendly. They helped me locate books my girls needed for school. This store is so clean and tidy. I will definitely be shopping here more often.
Good old BAM. Love theyre selling used books now.
I have always loved books a million. Great people, prices and lots of great books. Especially love the collectors sections too. I could live at this store. The atmosphere is awesome.
Great Place and The Workers are Amazing!
The fast and friendly staff at this location is awesome. The bathroom was clean. The seating is arranged for a quiet book reading. I always enjoy getting my latest cookbooks here.
As I walked in I thought it was closed because most of the lights were off and the store was dark. I was surprised they had the book a wanted and there was an employee at the middle desk offering assistance. But as I walked around a lot of the wood flooring is bucked severely causing me to trip and the carpet wasnt in much better shape. I went to check out there was another customer waiting and no cashier. After several minutes I went back to the employee in the help desk and was told the cashier should be there. I went back and waited the employee from Joe mugs yelled over and said cashier was at lunch and she would check us out. I think I just stick with book buying from Amazon.
Great drinks and a large selection of products from collectables to books, but a stagnant atmosphere.
Always a great experience no matter whether Im looking for a specific book or item, or getting something from the café. Associates are friendly and easy to speak with. The atmosphere is always calming, though I might add that I did enjoy the jazz and classical music once played before more than the music played now. I find it harder to read and/or concentrate on other text when I can hear words being sung in the distance. Yes, Im a different kind. Overall, this store is a phenomenal place to enjoy good text and good coffee.
I shop here because it’s the closest book store with a wide selection. But my particular experience today:I went to Shoe Carnival and got My son a pair of house shoes. I told the cashier that I didn’t need the bag, took my receipt and went next door to Books A Mil to get my daughter a Santa book for school. At checkout, the BAM cashier bagged the books, gave me the bag, and I put the house shoes and receipt into the BAM bag, directly in front of the cashier guy. He says to me, “aren’t you going to pay for that?!” I told him I bought them next door and showed the receipt (that I had already laid on top of the shoes when I put them on the counter to get my debit card out). He then acted as though I were lying, took my receipt, and thoroughly read it. All I got in the end was, “my bad” 😡😡
Love buying my books and tarot cards here.
Love this place. Great selection of books n magazines. Its the only place I can ever find my sons novels for school. Great job ppls.
I LOVE this store...have NEVER had a bad experience in there. They have went out of their way to help me. ALL have been VERY pleasant. I will be going back again. Have ever sense they been open...🤗☺
Even though they dont carry My Mental Floss Magazine or any of its 56 books theyve written, I still enjoy their selection and helpful(sometimes) employees......
They have good books and are at a good price to buy. I will be going back
Charged my card twice for $38.05 and has not resolved this issue
DAVID WAS A GREAT HELP TODAY.
Love the store. Good staff. Sadly, we often cant stay long because the AC seems to be broken nearly every time we go.
One of the best magazine selections around. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Prices are a little high but with the Books A Million card you can get discounts from time to time.
Books A Million in Decatur all are helpful friendly and the store is very clean !@
My favorite Books-A-Million! Always friendly service! My favorite place for a iced coffee too!
Very friendly staff. Enjoyed the Cafe.
Something for everyone. Reading is power.
Decent selection, but always tries to upsell you at checkout.
The gentleman at the customer service desk was kind and very helpful. The cashier was very efficient and friendly. Excellent array of childrens books available.
This place is great books, coffee, and a friendly staff. How can you not love that?
I love this store, I sometimes just go in to smell the books. We are forgetting the written word in this computer world.
My daughter and myself spend a lot of time and money in this store we know where everything is sometimes it’s hard to get help but when you do get it it’s wonderful and they are kind and help the best they can I do believe they might need a little more help but I love the store I always have I love the coffee and the selection is amazing.
Perfect way to spend an hour or so killing time.
Good place to hangout they have a wide selection of books its a good place i go there alot mostly for coffee but sometimes ill buy books i really love the books they get on restock days
I love the place, I go there anytime I get a chance to... But its way to hot in there. Everytime I go in there I come out with sweat... But I still give this place a good rating...
Great place to chill n read a good book while enjoying great coffee
Very friendly staff they are more than happy to help you find what you need. (If you want to make their day, take the time to get magazines when you check out.)
Always clean and friendly. Love going there to relax
I keep finding myself coming back just to chill. They have a lot more things than just books to browse through. And the coffee shop has a much more relaxed, low key feel.
I love all things book store !
The staff is always so helpful and the places is so clean. Has the best coffee in town!
Because they dont bother you and follow you around the store stalking you like other stores
So calming to walk through the books! The people are also so nice and helpful... Love It!
The staff is outgoing and helpful. The store is well laid out. Great store.
I tried to buy a few figures here with a hundred dollar bill fresh from the bank. The cashier checked it under the light and with a pen and it was all good until she brought a manager over to confirm. After scribbling on the bill furiously for a few seconds, the manager decided that the ink was coming off on of the zeros and wouldnt take it. Will not be shopping here again. Id rather make the drive to Cullmans BAM than be treated like a criminal.
Been coming here for coffee since it opened here in Decatur Alabama. This was our homework place for my kids, mother-daughter time even with my mom. Now its with the grand kids. I buy my cook books here.
Great place to find just about any book. Just a little pricey for me.
Only place I can find good bible since Lifeway is closing
Staff always remembers me by name! I try to remember to do the surveys because I know it helps the employees meet their quotas every month. They are always helpful and friendly. I wish however that I didnt have so many issues with the website and online ordering, but there is a bigger selection inside the store anyways. The cafe is always clean, I mainly go here to get drinks from Joe muggs. The drinks are delicious, and I get discounts for being a member and also for bringing my own cup. I probably wont renew my membership, just due to issues with getting the benefits online so I can use them in store.. but I will continue to choose Joe muggs over any coffee shop in the area. The drinks are better and the prices are right. Especially the frappes, and the Italian cream sodas.. really everything on the menu is tasty.Starbucks is overpriced, not that great and the service sucks most of the time. Go to Joe muggs :)
Great book store but the workers need to have more knowledge about what they sell.
Awesome place to find books I had to find a book for school and staff was really kind and helped
I love the deals that they have, and they usually have them all the time. They also have the best staff!!!
Great
There is an excellent selection. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
