BAM! Is the best name for a store ever. They have good priced manga, and decent priced figures as well as a good selection, me and my dad love this store and have always loved the name which made us want to go there even more. I would recommend
A real brick and mortar bookstore! Well laid out. A pleasure to browse, you are sure to find a great read here.
Great store, Great employees, great books! Always love to come in here! They have so many things from books, to games, to records, to accessories. Dont forget about the good ol paperbacks, and come visit this location!!!
In Gurnee Mills discount shopping mall. Accessible, no stairs, all on one floor. Can get through ailes, but a little tight. So many book sections.
No one at Gurnee Mills knew where the store was in the mall, most people we asked that worked there never heard of it. No one we asked even knew there was a book store in the mall. It isnt listed on the kiosk with the mall map. We walked through the entire mall and couldnt find it. Wasted 2 hours looking and then went to Barnes and Noble.I assume the Gurnee Mills location is no longer open and the website needs updating. Or maybe you just have the worst marketing team ever.
I love this place. You can find something for everyone. The staff is friendly and the prices are fair.
This is a good bookstore. Nice selection but they really NEED a larger African Studies/African History section. Its almost non existent.
With the internet its really hard to find a book store. This one is nice. Its small. Its got an ok selection of books. I can sometimes find good deals in the bargain sections.The staff was helpful and patience tonight.If you sign up for texts you can get coupons sent to you.Like I said book stores are rare. So dont expect a huge store. Different kinds if things in here too like coffee mugs and socks.
Didnt really have much time to shop. Kids. Place looked well organized, Plethora of books.Good selections for kids. Comfortable pricing for the books that I looked at.
Overpriced on a lot of things but a decent selection in an area without other bookstores.
Just meh. Underwhelming on every level.
Not alot of African american books
Love this place! Great staff, wonderful selection of books, and if they dont have it at the store, you can see if the warehouse has it and pick it up in store. Freddi was especially helpful. Definately a place to shop and explore for your next reading experience
It had almost everything someone who wants to read would need
Good book selection and unique gift ideas
Love coming here with my boys for great books, activities and decorative finds
Books for all ages games and more. Looking for a good read at a good price or need to find a marvel funko stop in and have a look.
The only place within 30 miles that had a book that released today.
Great location and great experience love the place
Purchased some books, sticker on one said buy two get third free. Checked receipt after leaving store charged for all three. When I spoke with manager she stated the sticker was from a previous promotion! Last time I will shop here 😡
DO NOT SHOP HERE.THEY SELL YOUR INFORMATION TO A THIRD PARTY SELLER CALLED SYNAPSE WHO WILL THEN SUBSCRIBE YOU TO MAGAZINES USING WHATEVER CARD YOU USED TO PAY HERE FOR BILLING YOU.THE PROCESS OF GETTING THESE SUBSCRIPTIONS CANCELED IS A NIGHTMARE.
They had many sales & the sales staff was very helpful. They even wrote down a recommendation for a book that was in the same category of what I was buying. I was buying a few books for teens so it was helpful for future purchases
Best place in North lake county
Yes! Bookstores DO still exist! Great store!
I love love LOVE this store! A great selection of books, including manga. Their but 2 get 1 free book sales are awesome. They have more than just books too! Candles, calendars, even some home decor. Great place to shop!
Keep on keeping on bookstore. Great selection, staff is helpful, and usually good deals going on. If you plan to ever buy books, thy have the best membership program of any retailer Ive seen.
Great selection of books and miscellaneous items. Staff are very attentive in helping you find what youre looking for if youre trying to find something specific.
They have the books. But I can get the promise land hardcover for 23 at Walmart not the 45 they wanted
This is such a great store in Gurnee Mills. Wow I was so amazed to see what a great selection they had at this store...so many great books, gifts toys, and collectibles. I loved it so much. I wanted to buy so many things because the book selection was great and there were a lot of adorable Japanese stuffed animals. I hope this store stays forever!!!
I LOVE this store.... I find every book I need for all the kids in the family. Its organized and the staff is friendly.
Love this store ‼ Great coffee too. I always find a magazine, afew books and audio book for driving . Great variety, Relaxing place too.
I must have looked lost or desperate. Either way one of the employees came up to me and asked me what I was looking for. I have a 9 year old who hates to read but loves anything dealing with World War 1 World War II. Not a easy shoe to fill but this employee knew right away where to take me to find a few books that would interest my son. Choose a World War book that is a choose-your-own-adventure that my son cannot put down. Also suggested another author that does similar stories for young readers. Thanks again to the young man that help me find these books. You have made a mom proud and a boy eager to read. Recommend this store and ask for help they know their books.
So many book options. It would be nice to have had options for more deals and/or sales. Considering the popularity of books nowadays. Overall the place is very well kept, organized, and clean.
Will sell you a damaged book and won’t even discount it
I miss book stores this store was everything 😍
This store was very well organized and had a wide selection of books without being overwhelming. The toys in the front are a bit distracting and can take away from the experience if you have a crabby child with. The education section has alot of National Geographic. I will definitely go here next time I am in the area.
I get all my books there and my hogwarts stuff like slithering Griffin door raven claw huffle puff even some toys I think this place is really good too good to if youre looking for books or toys
Service was good, but they didnt have the books I wanted.
Awesome selection of books. Staff is very friendly and the store is very well organized! Prices are reasonable as well. I would definitely go here to find a good read!
A family member had some puzzles from books a million that she wanted for Christmas. We ended up with a couple of duplicates. Without a paper receipt, they will not offer any sort of refund. I even had the credit card that was used to purchase them. Would not even offer store credit.On top of that, when we entered the store, nobody was at the cash register. We waited in line for more than 5 minutes before we even saw an employee. My wife tried to find an employee and the employee she found had headphones in and was clearly not wanting to help customers! Terrible experience. Any item in that store I can just get at Amazon. Will not be shopping there again.
Its what youd expect from BAM. Books, books, cute little trinkets here and there, and more books. This one was particularly quiet, which was a good thing
Freddie was so helpful! Wonderful staff who care about all your reading needs.
Good variety of books, but staff had no idea where the book I was looking for was located.
This place is great, I got some manga there and the employee was super cool. Totally recommend checking this place out if you like books or anime.
Bibles, manga, nerdy bobbleheads. Fun place.
Plenty of books. Dont have to wait for shipping
Good lay out and easy to find things. They need more then one person working at a time.
Really cute store, lots of books for kids and adults and its separated very nice. Lots of cute little trinkets too; Funko pops, magnets, stuffed animals, toys, just lots of cute stuff!
I still like that old bookstore feeling when looking for a good book to read.
Love that new book smell
Great place to shop i love going here and they have puzzles games and movies and cds. Best prices anywere. You can call and see if they have the book you like.
Although its not like the Barnes and noble with a coffee house that I could hang for hours, its a nice book store, with current best sellers, quaint unique gifts, every magazine under the sun, and knowledgeable help, its a good place to nose around in... And congrats trying to keep a book store alive... Its s dying art 😖
Other than the clearance part everything there isnt over priced, plus it is very small for a book store.
The staff was very friendly and so helpful. I highly recommend. Great variety..
Helpful staff. Good selection. Average prices.
I love their attention to detail with Harry Potter, decently priced books. Very similar to barnes and noble.
Nice collection but way to expensive compared to other local book shops.
Alot of books to select from as well as magazines. Amazing place.
The store is inside Gurnee Mills Mall. It is the only bookstore in this area. They have a nice selection of books, magazines, and games to interest shoppers.I usually have to stop in and see what might attract my interest.
The girl,was friendly and lots of books to choose good prices.
Great and helpful staff. Willing to take time and look up things they dont have in stock.
Great variety! Fun things to see and more than just books!
Very Friendly Staff great prices
Alot of kids book for a good price
Has really good collection of books. Wish they had a bigger selection for comic books though.
It has a great selection of manga and books
The employees are always so nice and helpful when I come and the store is well organized.
Every time I go in I feel welcomed! Every thing there is so cute!
Theres always something nice or interesting here. I really hope this place stays in Gurnee mills.

Its a bookstore! They still have one!
Like the setup. Easy access.
Nice selection, clerk tried a little hard to upsell.
Located in Gurnee Mills, it is the only book store I go to. Fairly priced and always has what I am looking for.
Da hav any book u cab think of
Great selection of collectibles, books and nerdly delights. Prices are a few bucks higher than competitors but with the rapid decline of book stores I imagine it is hard to keep the lights on otherwise.
Great place to stop at to get books for kids or adults. They also have a huge selection of toys and stuffed Ty beanie boos.
Its rare to find a bookstore nowadays, but you cant order stuff from the store, you just have to see what they have. But they do have Trump voodoo Dolls which I love
This store has a good mix of everything.
Didnt have exactly one million books, and for that, I was a little disappointed. However, there were several thousands.
Always enjoy selection & service at this local bookstore.
It was fun to discover a big book store in the mall.
What a great eclectic collection 😊
Good mainstream bookstore, doesn’t have many obscure titles
This store is located in a discount mall. I was very disappointed to find out that thry dont discount their merchandise. I left without making a purchase.
Favorite place in the world. If only they had a coffee stand and places to sit. I would say there all day
Great place has a huge variety of books there
Its a pretty neat place. I was surprised that they had toys as well as a fair selection of books, comic books and graphic novels.
First time visitor. Seems like a nice store.
I anticipate my next visit here.
Ive gone here often to find collectors books and a few special editions in recent years. Its an okay place with not too much going on for itself.
Really nice place.. youll have fun..
