Books-A-Million — Local services in Tallahassee

I've been waiting six years for the next book in my favorite series. Instead of ordering from Amazon or getting it online cheaper, I decide to keep my money in the community and go to Books-A-Million.

I ordered the one signed copy that they had. My name isn't John Smith, or anything coming. No one knew in my social circle that I ordered the book, and the only friend I would have talked about it with lives out of town.

When I went to Books-A-Million to pick my signed copy up, they told me that I had already came and picked it up. at no point did I pick up the book, or send someone else to pick it up for me. There is no way anyone could have known I ordered the book. They decided to give my signed copy to somebody else.

6 years I've been waiting for this. in six years I've reread this series, all 15 books, at least half a dozen times. And now because I trusted Books-A-Million, I can't even get a signed copy online. They're all sold out. Because of their little mistake I cannot complete my set of signed hard covers.

the young lady working the register was polite about it. I can't say the same about the manager. I can't...

I would imagine these stores will go under within the next 5 years if not sooner. When you look online for a book and it says it’s in store then it makes sense to swing by and pick it up. This is exactly what I did only to find the books from this author were moved. I decided to walk the store to see if I could find them on my own. After about 3 trips around the entire store I had no luck. After that I decided to go to the customer service desk to see if they could locate it for me. After waiting about 15 minutes for someone to help me they look it up and verify they have it in store for the price I found online and in the mass market paperback. They tell me where it is located and I inform them it isn’t there and that area is cleaned out like they have been moved somewhere else. They then ask for help and take me to a table with the hardback for $20. I told them I was looking for the paperback and was informed they had no idea where it was in the store. It is extremely frustrating that the employees don’t know where to find things in the store. I’ll keep ordering from Amazon from now and...

Saturday I had to drop off my glasses to get the lenses replaced. Since it took about an hour my sister and I stopped by Books-A-Million. We were masked up and the minute we walked in it was like I miss you so much. It was just so wonderful to walk through there. We checked out all the new books, books marked down, manga, albums, romance, tee shirts, calendars... Ok everything. While in the marked down hardbacks, I found Surrender, New York, by Caleb Carr. As a devote fan of TNT's Alienist I have it in my heart to start collecting this author, and for those who haven't watch the Alienist series, just do it. Great writing and acting. Also bought a new bookmark. My sister was like "don't you have a bunch bookmarks already" and I said, "Yeah, don't you have a bunch"? Needless to say I'm a bookworm that has to have new bookmark for my new book and of course I found the perfect one in Books-A-Million. It says " I like big books and I...
