If you like Funko Pops, Manga, etc. Be prepared to take out a small loan. Not because merch is expensive but you may find yourself buying a lot of great products.

Always a great place to shop and find unique and sought after books. Plus the trade in program is nice, even if they only give you 10% of the selling price they’re able to do. Keep an eye out for trade-ins to get more bang for your buck. And local authors can partner with them to promote their book.

If you are a major book lover like I am, THIS IS THE BOOKSTORE FOR YOU! This is my favorite bookstore to come to whenever I sometimes just want to get out of the house or I need something new to read. This is conveniently located close to my home. It's a really huge store but very organized. They have all the books organized by genre and are relatively easy to locate if you are looking for something in particular. They do sell other things beside books, they sell bags, bookmarks, reading accessories and other miscellaneous things. They also sell music, guitars, bibles, and a variety of candies. You can definitely get lost there looking at every little thing they have to offer. They also have a lot of bargain books. I've scored a couple of popular titles for only $5, which is a huge score! I definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for a new book store to browse at. All the employees are super polite and extremely helpful when you ask them a question. They are located in a shopping center right next to a petsmart, so they do offer plenty of parking spaces for you to choose from.

This place is a book/music/movie lovers dream! Books and music as far as the eye can see! They even sell albums and album players. I even saw an old school cassette player boom box, but it was “modernized. I walked out with 3 books, under $17. Can’t beat it. Only thing that could make this place better is if they had a comfy couch seating area where you could relax and ready a bit before deciding to purchase.

2nd and Charles was a pleasant surprise of my shopping trip. It is like a combination of Barnes and Noble with gamestop and a collectables store. It has good pricing on most things. They have a computer to check inventory so you can see if they have the book you are looking for. Very nice way to spend a few hours finding some great finds.

I never leave empty-handed. There is always an incredible variety of books, toys, accessories and records. The book sorting system does take time to get used to, however, it allows you to venture through the aisles. The staff, especially Kelsey, are great. I will always recommend this place of wonders.
