Lots of books and other things for sale. A friend found some books there on our visit. A friend took books to sell. Seems like a scam as we had to go back and pick up books. Another customer was doing the same thing and complaining. You might as well sell them online or donate to charity.

I came thru to this location on Tuesday. As I entered I was greeted by an employee at the buy back counter. He showed me exactly where the books I was looking for were located. Very pleasant and professional. I had to use the bathroom upon arrival b/c I was traveling. The bathroom was clean and good order. Easy five stars

Im only giving 3 stars because of the guy that has worked there since it was BAM. He has outstanding customer service and a fun personality. I hate that his name has been lost to the fog that coats my brain nowadays. But the book set up is still terrible. No horror section and everything tossed in fiction but barely alphabetical makes for wasted time. Ive seen Goodwills with a better setup than this place. I know customers are jerks that dont put things back every time but this is more than that.

I had passed by this places numerous times and never checked it out until my son and I needed to waste a few minutes before an appointment. I could kick myself for not going in here sooner. It is such a charming place! There is literally something for everyone in here; music lovers, movie lovers, book lovers, even toys and plush animals for children, and figurines. They even have record players and vinyls there, CDs too, and some instruments!!! I could stay in this store all day and probably still not see everything they have there. The atmosphere is so laid back and calming. The employees are chill and friendly, yet still helpful and professional. I highly recommend this place for anything from just browsing to finding the perfect gift for someone. Five stars ALL DAY!!!

Its great if you are looking for anything entertainment related, the way i figured out they existed was because i went to GameStop to sell some PS2 games, and they said they wouldnt take them but gave us the address of Second and Charles, i personally think that S&C is better than GameStop in every way, even the damnitt dolls.

I bought a game and I was expecting them to put the game in the case for me at the register but nope. They just sold me an empty game case. I didnt realize this until I got home which was 2 hours away. So I call them up and they say I have to come back to get the game or a refund byt they cant do it over the phone . But I wont be in that area again because I was just passing through. So I got sc3wed.

If you are like us, do not come in here thinking you will only spend a few minutes. I spent atleast 20 minutes looking over all the candy and snacks that I had only seen online before.

I was still able to find something to buy but the nonbook sections were more organized and tended to than the books. Its a bookstore. I was told that there were no books by a certain author in the store but I found 3 books by that author in 3 different sections. And the employees seemed more interested in when they could leave over the customers in the store.

This particular 2nd and Charles definitely has a focus on pop culture and children Which reflects the young demographic of the area. Was a bit disappointed they didnt have a larger selection of craft books or philosophy books( I personally couldnt even find this section. Doesnt mean its not there, just means I had a hard time finding it with out asking an employee) It was clean and upbeat overall great atmosphere, just a little disappointed I couldnt find what I was looking for.

The magazines are through some bogus third party.
