Definitely one of my favorite places on Earth. The staff is very helpful if theres something you have a hard time finding. On one occasion, the staff member took it upon herself found a book for me that was in the wrong section (you can imagine how much time and effort that took that poor worker). Joe Mugs is a welcomed bonus! (Every so often, they give out free samples.)
Not a big fan of the Albany mall, but I love coming here to have a cup of coffee and read a book. The staff has always been very pleasant to me, and their prices on books are very reasonable. They sale cute little things for my nieces that I like to pick up occasionally.
If you need or want a book I would tell anyone to go to Books-A-Million in the Mall in Albany everyone there was so nice and helpful. I do think if you need a book they have it.
I am a book nerd so any bookstore is a joy for me. BAM is a treasure trove of any genre you could possibly want! so happy this store is close! staff is always helpful and knowledgeable!
So many good books and items I could ge3t all my kids Christmas here and have a coffee
Great place to take the kids while teenagers shop. Staff were considerate and not angry about me reading books.
Love this place. Always find something I want to read. Perfect for gifts. And theres just something about browsing through, not knowing what you want and being able to find just the right book by accident
I found exactly what I was looking for and the price was less than I expected, the staff was very courteous.
Clean and organized well. Friendly staff also.
I know its weird but I love the smell of books!! Always clean and customer service is amazing!
Employees are friendly and knowledgeable of their products.
Always a good place to find new reads and a good manga selection in the vast nothingness that is Albany, Ga.
Like much of anything in Albany, this place is acceptable but nothing that you want to make plans to go do. You just happen to stop in if already in the area. Very small BAM. I miss the big one that used to be in Albany when I was a kid. Small selection of just about every section, including their bargain priced stuff. Which is the only section to shop as just like with most BAMs, they are way over priced. Books are cheaper at Walmart, Target, Amazon, 2nd & Charles etc. Occasionally, they get Pop exclusives so we stop in every couple of weeks to see if they have finally put out stock that other stores have had for months.
Like stepping back to the 90s and loving every minute! From the Joe coffee to the calendars this store will bring back memories! Ah the days before Amazon! Experience books the way they were made to be read. In person. Holding them. Smelling them then picking just the right one to bring home!
I love this book store, big, clean and love the variety. There is a coffee shop inside!
Well stocked and great customer service!
Lots and lots of books. Very nice store. Just wish they would stop offering the magazine subscriptions.
The store has dim lighting and feels old. Cluttered in some spots. One of the employees, a tall white guy stood watch over us as we sat at a table. He was not working. I noticed he didnt come over there until he saw us enter the store. And he just stood there and watched us our entire time in the store.
As always a great place to shop. The staff is very friendly with my Autistic son.
Has almost any book you could want and more!
Staff is very courteous, kind of small store though and over 50% committed to children and young adult reading
This was my first time in bam. Theres was friendly as soon as I walked in the store. I felt so relieved to find such excellent customer service in albany, ga. She was very helpful and offered me help as well as trying to sell other books I might like but not in an obnoxious way. This was my best shopping trip since I have been here. I would give them 10 stars!
Was able to find 1 book I was looking for.
Chill atmosphere, perfect for sitting down and browsing/reading, which in my case involves comics and math/science/technology books. Staff is friendly and helpful as well.
Nice store prices a Lil high but what can u expect everything in this world is high
I was shocked and dismayed to see prominent and centrally-placed displays showcasing books with titles filled with vulgarities. I have always considered my BAM bookstore a haven where I might examine and ponder diverse ideas and viewpoints, but to be confronted with such profane obscenity and unable to avoid such in-your-face displays, is discouraging and creates a hesitancy to enter any bookstore that considers this a viable marketing technique.
A really large selection and kind staff. Clean store, as well
Stock does not get turned over enough. B&N is far better.
Its nice that they have discount cards in here. My daughter always buys books in here and I love the service and the great selections they have.
I located the Bible I wanted and purchased it.
The BAM located in my hometown of Albany, GA is the only place I can purchase Manga in my area. Theyve got a pretty decent selection as well! The people that work there are almost all great to deal with, with only a few exceptions. I go there at least once a week, and enjoy it each and every time.
No way you can walk through this store without finding something you like.
Fantastic staff!
Great selection
It was fine. I have a particularly narrow genre for books and that cant be put on the store as lacking. So, it was just ok for me. They did have a lot of toys and games, etc that looked great. I went to the store several times because I received a gift certificate and wanted to use it while there. Staff were friendly.
Good affordable
Plenty! of books and collectibles
Great selection of books. super nice employees as well
Love the selection and always like to look at the bargain books. The addition of used books is a plus as I get gently used books at a much lower price. The people are always friendly. The discount card is worth the money since you can use on all purchases.
Pleasant staff, large selection, good deals.
Found what we were looking for
Good place to read. As far as food & drinks, I dont buy there much because they never have dairy free milk so I can buy healthy drinks. Also, there is no good wifi to work on projects and work. Even if you did connect to the not so good wifi, there is no area to charge your phone/laptop to work. I would go there more often if there was changes made to make these needs met.
This store racially profiles you. Its pathetic and unprofessional. This American lady with blue hair was methodically following my father and I around the whole time.
Store was very clean and the staff was very friendly
I love this place specially when collector things go on sale
Great bookstore with friendly and helpful employees. They have a good selection of clearance and sale books and other items. The special interest tables are relevant and organized well. Enjoyable browsing and shopping experience.
They have fidgets.
Friendly staff every time.
Good sales
Love this place. Nice selection of books. Love to read. Great people.
I really like this store. Some of the clerks are helpful but the younger ones seem like they just want to stand around and talk to their friends. But I still like it and I love the different coffees.
A great place to come and browse and just to hang out. I often come just to see new offerings and relax a bit. I enjoy reading so coming here is a joy.
I was actually just passing through. The middle flowthrough isle had several books that caught my eye! My friend and I ended up spending over$100.00 dollars. The customer service was extraordinary! I wish that I remembered his name, because he was exceptional. As a matter of fact, I put the receipt in a key place so that I would go online and tell about him - His name was James #134508 @ your Albany, GA store!
I love this store. They always have a great clearance section that I spend a lot of time going through. This store is easily the best thing about the Albany Mall.
If you like books and reading, can’t go wrong here, and you can get a great cup of joe as well
The lady who waited on us was very helpful and very polite you cant find good help like that anymore but we did.
My favorite book store. Real nice selection and the coffee shop is good. I seldom go to the mall and do not stop in. Reading, coffee, comfort. What else is a book store supposed to do?
They have a wonderful variety of books, magazines and other assorted items for purchase.
I love books! BAM always has what Im looking for.
Love BAM. The store is clean and well organized. Lots of things there to look at. My kids love going there and buying toys. Service is always really nice as well.
They have more than just books. They have gifts, pop figures, stuffed animals, kids toys, novels, and so much more. Joe mugs is in there to and there coffee is great
Excellent place to buy books or get a great cup of coffee.
Good selection. Good prices. Not helpful in keeping my to be read like short. Lol
Best book store in Savannah plus has a cafe so you can sit and read your new purchase with a nice cup of joe
Great place, I like it better than barnes and noble. Staff was very friendly and they have a great selection of books.
Such a nice place to walk around and you always find something good and interesting.I like the coffee shop.They take forever to get the coffee..However its a cool place to go with family.
Theyre in the middle of moving things around, but still not impressed. Empty shelves all over, almost nothing on technology subjects, and nobody offering help. Like the rest of the mall, just sad.
A huge variety to chose from, its not just books. The coffee shop there is great.
I went to check out and was told I get three free magazines. Come to find out if you dont call and cancel the subscription they will charge your card. Thats not consumer friendly at all
I like the store, book selection, and childrens toys. But the cashier signed me up for a customer lotalty membership and 3 free issues of 3 magazines with little or no transparency about what these things cost. It wasnt until the very end of the transaction that she bothered to mention that I would have to call a 1-800 number and individually cancel the magazine subscriptions or be charged every month.
I can always find what I need and the customer service is on point.
Took my daughter and a friend of hers there to look around the girls ended up purchasing a few items and the staff member that took care of them was extremely courteous and helpful due to the fact the store was about to close in 15 minutes
💘 love books...
Looking for a book. They have it or can get it.Friendly employees and knowledgeable.
Absolutely love this store. It has awesome stuff besides just books.
Very good . I always find good quality books here and more on sale . Coffee shop also . I love to come and relax .
The people here are amazind and the coffee is top notch. If they dont have something you want in store theyll gladly order it for you. Lovely place and a nice place to hang out. They also have the cleanest restrooms in the mall.
Great Selection and staff. Employees extremely helpful
You advertise an activity for children and then dont follow thru. I will never step foot into another books a million after my seven year old was disapointed like he was. Mistakes happen but nothing was offered to make it right. I will make sure to let everyone know how children are treated at your store.
Clean store and well stocked... can be odd looking for certain books but the coffee shop is good and the emplyees are willing to help.
Great selection and staff very friendly.
Love their hot chocolate and selection of books and magazines
Great place to find all your favorite books! I love the atmosphere and helpful, friendly staff. Bonus: Joe muggs built in for all your coffe needs! Grab a book, get a coffee and take a break at the café.
Story time on Saturdays. Everyone is so attentive and polite.
The staff is helpful and courteous. Great place to stop, shop and read.
My daughters love bam spend hours in there every Saturday
Good place to sit and have coffee or buy a nice book
Awesome selection of books.good prices.
I had not been in a BAM for about 10 years. I was dusappointed at the lack of personnel and childrens book selection for tweens. Too many toys and not enough books - and not enough workers.
BAM has everything i could want in a book store. Any kind of books, Manga, games, toys and a coffe shop!
Very good selections of books and miscellaneous things
This is an awesome store. Love the variety
They could improve on customer service.
I found so many books and kidsbooks my daughters really love to hanging around in bam
HUGE selection of books, literature, magazines, arts and music included. And the coffee is a MUST.
My favorite store the staff are very friendly and the drinks are nice and cool
Did not keep shelves up to date New books
Needs a few more people on hand for questions. Or at least they need to be more noticeable.
Not only had the book I wanted they even offered to show me the different copies with different covers, even a leather back one
