Reviews of Books-A-Million

Sara Paris

This is a great store for all ages if you love books and vintage toys and games. My children and I enjoy this store. They always leave with a few books and a small toy. They have reasonable prices and the staff is always friendly.

Thomas Losiniecki

Decent selection, but very heavy on pop and manga. Not that it's a bad thing, and it's a mall location, so it makes sense.

Candace Edwards

Absolutely love this place. It is my first stop when I go to the mall and I always find something cool at a good price there. The service is always fast and friendly. Love it. Keep up the good work.

Ruth DeWald

Love having a book store in the mall. My toddler is obsessed with books and they have a pretty decent little kid section.

Marquita McBride

I THOUGHT ALL OF THEM WERE GONE! Was excited when I saw it and went in and boyfriend brought me two books for my b-day!😊😊😊😊 …

Violeta Fischer

Amazing customer service from Megan and Tara. I was looking for specific book, I walked around inside the store and can’t find it, see a lady with books oh her so I asked and she said , “ I’ll be happy to help, please follow me at front” ... To make it short... She goes straight to the computer , ask someone specific question to another lady name Tara. Then Megan keep searching , then she found the answer . She told me all detailed informations.. I was so happy with a wonderful customer service I received from both of them. Looking for a book. This particular book store have large selections in regards books plus you will get amazing customer service,.. BIG PLUS! Check it out, They are located at Fox Valley Mall in Aurora, IL.

BlueUpLynX

They had a great selection of games, books, and nicknacks based on popular ip.

Micheal Jones

Nice store but don't always have what their web site says they have.

Joe D

It's nice to see book stores still around this store felt like Barnes and noble.

Rachell Hogan

One of our favorite book stores, has lots of unusual books and gifts, we always come away with something

Renee Johnson

I like this place b/c of their prices & variety. Drove 30 mins in traffic to get here. But disappointed because their clearance was nulch & prices were really high this time on every little thing. Just could be my timing. I will look at Barnes & Noble first because it's closer to my house.

Joe “Latte Joe” Holman

Best book store in the Fox Valley Mall! Of course, it's the ONLY book store in the mall, but hey... Seriously, BAM has a good selection of books and magazines, and a decent selection of novelties & gifts as well. Their staff has always been helpful and courteous and when they don't have what I'm looking for on hand they are quick to look up in their computer system to let me know if they have the offering at another location or if it's available online. BAM is one of my favorite stops when I'm at the mall.

Pancho Garcia

Great variety of books, Funko pops, and collectables

Pump Spooky Month

Amazing btw your employees r hotties 😋 …

Shelby Marie

Lots of cool stuff, and so much to look at. The two employees at the registers did not greet us and were complaining a lot as we were checking out but the guy who looked like a manager was super nice. Asked me how I was doing multiple times. Cool stuff not the best employees.

Olufunke Mercy Robinson-Nweye

Great book selections!

Jeffrey Michalek

Good selection of books and miscellaneous items

Bobby Kost

They've significantly increased their manga collection. And I'm here for it.

Alie Violet

I take my kids here and they love it, so do I. I grew up with Borders and Barnes and Nobels in malls. I miss those stores and loved sharing the book shopping experience with my 2 youngest. So many great books, the employees are amazing and so helpful, kind and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend shopping here!

R V

Not sure what's going but it's starting to look dingy. There were many bins filled with non-book-related junk. Shelves were mostly empty.

Jason Gray

The manga section is HUGE. I was astounded by the sheer size of it. There is still a great variety of fiction, nonfiction, mystery, fantasy, and other genres of books around -- other than the manga. There are also collectibles and merch of sorts. Splendid place that has almost every book I'd ever want.

Aaron Howell

A rare find in a large mall. One part bookstore one part knickknacks. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and the prices are definitely reasonable for what they have on hand. I found myself lost in a sea of knowledge that I was not upset about. Truly something to experience.

Jeremy Knight

They have some very creative gifts and at a competitive price. I looked up a few things online before buying and they had the lowest price in their store, though not everything. Still, if you're looking for a fun, creative gift at a reasonable price, this is the perfect place to go.

Tim Bruns

Very good selection of books, a nice environment to browse, and a good selection of things line Role-playing books and Manga for a mainstream store. Lots of collectables, and well organized. A fun store to browse. I'm surprised by the variety of their selection as well as how they include items I'm not used to finding at bookstores in prominent sections. Prices are competitive as well. Great place to bring a kid and find something to read.

Jasmine Garcia

I always go on my days off bc my little sister loves the anime books she always comes out with at least 2 books and they have cool Funko pops

Jairo Rodriguez

It's like a smaller Barnes and noble. Tons of books of several different genre, from sci-fi, fantasy, diy, children's books to graphic novels. Along with that they've also got a lot of miscellaneous items varying from mugs, smaller toys and plushies, figures, puzzles, board games to some small cute decor for your living space.

King

Awesome place! Always take a stop here when I am looking for a present for someone. They certainly have some of those off items that you wouldn't expect. I agree with another reviewer, the prices are definitely a little higher however bookstore's have to do what they have to do to thrive and there is nothing wrong with that. Staff is very hit or miss as far as friendly customer service goes. Stop in you won't regret it.

Brent Nicklas

I'm not much of a book lover, but BAM is an excellent book store with plenty of other cute merchandise as well. The store itself isn't very big, but their wide variety makes me feel like they've got something for everyone.

C G

Need to mark sale prices more clearly. I was denied the sales price at checkout, and the cashier would not go to verify the price. As a result I left without purchasing anything.

Gina Lynn Singh

I always shop here for anything regarding The Holy Bible. I love this store and the people.

Amethyst Holman

I didn't find the book I was looking for, but I did find a different book that I absolutely had to have. The store clerks were helpful and friendly as always. No complaints!

Brian Paradis

I had never been to this place before my decent trip, where I was in search of a Christmas gift. They have a TON of different things, very much like a Barnes and Nobel. They've got a large assortment of books, any kind you may want, as well as toys, games, puzzles, and much more. If you're looking for ideas to help pass time for a few evenings, you'll definitely find something here that'll help.

R G

It was very nicely organized and laid out well. Their products were really cool and of you are a fan of anything big like Harry Potter you're sure to find something you like! Similar to Barnes and Noble in a good way.

Laura Eskridge

Limited quantity, but we always stop by when in the mall. Friendly staff.

shawn redmon

Great place, amazing employee and one of the only places to get physical Table Top gaming supplies or foreign books. I do wish they'd also have Engel or the Heaven's Feel system as books.

Misael Frias

I love this store for the fact it has anything this nerd can think of in terms of reading. It has manga it has comics, it has.....Harry Potter. There are so many other books this place provides that I do it no justice. It even has online ordering, I recommend this store anytime you need or want to pick up book.

P Mc

A quiet book store in the mall, next to Macy's upstairs. It's not a bad book store had everything we where looking for. I got a Ray Bradbury book. Lots of short stories. Just finished The Toynbee Convector, it's the first short story in the book, about a time traveler. And the second story Trapdoor, which will leave you never looking at your attic door the same again. Worth a look around if you want to step out of the bustling mall and into a story.

Jennifer Rivera

I really love books stores. Strangely, every time I come here I end buying merch and not books. This visit was no exception. Not that I don't look at the books. If I was more local I'd probably buy more books. They offer a reward program. Again, if I were more local I would do it. I walk out with 2 mugs, CAH bigger blacker box, and CAH expansion pack. Bought the box more affordable than other stores. I usually buy my unusual playing cards ( princess bride, labyrinth, etc.) there. This time I didn't see any playing cards.

Neelix The KittyCat

Lots of great gift ideas in addition to their selection of books

ReadingTheGoodBook!

They have a wide selection of all kinds of books and the cashier was super friendly. Never had a bad experience there yet

Amber Squirrel

Pretty cool books store. Its no Barnes and Noble, but its ok. The only flaw I can think of is there is lack of seating. I bought a Japanese book so far. The atmosphere is pretty chill (just needs chairs)

Timothy D

Sooooooooo many Mangas! Up to date too! Come and get your manags! They sell books and stuff too but they have a huge manga wall! Blah blah blah manga wall!

Diane Cortez

Good selection of devotionals. Was looking for a specific book. Grandparents legacy. The clerk looked up the title and found they sold it online. Very helpful.

Coy Pergeson

Great bigger style book store. They sale not only books but also themed merchentdise. The staff is friendly an helpful and the store is clean and orderly. The books are well organized sections by category. It located within the Fox valley Mall.

Lanie Baverso

Great selection and store is kept clean

Sophie Holtquist

Nerd paradise! I have yet to find another physical store with so many of my interests under one roof. Books, manga/light novels, games, toys, candy...BAM has all the things I like. The store is clean, organized, pleasant to look at, and quiet. 5/5, can't recommend enough

Willard Smith

Mall bookstores are going the way of the dinosaur. Fox Valley Mall used to have four bookstores, now there is only one. BAM occupies the area of one of the last bookstores. It might even be that bookstore because it is laid out the same way. The store has books arranged by age group and sub-divided by subject. Mostly paperbacks, but a few specially hard bound books published by the BAM printers. You could spend a long time browsing through the sections. It is sad that there are only a few bookstores like this one still in existence. Use it while it is still around.

Diana P.

I love these stores have fan stuff like key chains, weird cool lamps and mini pranks and lots of books!

Richard Hays

Lots of books and pop culture iyems.

David Brown

Better than Barnes an noble

T K

Good collection, nice staff, typical bam prices. Can't go wrong.

Ryan Frantz

I won't go if Melanie is working there. I've actually been known to see her at the register and put down my entire purchase and walk out. I get sales pitches and company policies about pushing paid memberships and whatever but 45 minutes is way too much. Haven't had any other issues with the place, it's awesome

Rachel Wiedman

This place was absolutely fantastic! They have so much more than barns&noble and are so much cheaper and have great deals! All of their merchandise is very aesthetic and it's a great place to find gifts for others and for yourself!

salomon diaz

This store has a lot of stuff. I enjoy going there because the amount of different things they have (books, magazines, acetate records, action figures, comics, etc)

Alma Binkowski

Love this book store, since there are not too many open, but I always have hard time finding people to help costumers

Richard Lemon

Great customer service and professional staff members.

Noelle Danford

Staff have always been friendly and the store is normally tidy. They are pushy sometimes trying to get you to sign up for the millionaire club card. Prices can be high but they have a decent selection, toys and gifts as well.

Alonic 14

Its nice to look at the manga section, and they got variety.

Kyle Hewitt

The store itself was fine, but they asked to share info with some magazine company or whatever, felt kinda scammy to get buyers into subscriptions for magazines they don't really want

Gregory Madden

If you or your children love manga, you must visit BAM asap! They also have a really good sci fi and fantasy collection.

Osciel Saldana

Friendly staff and always ready to help the customers. Very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to recommendations or just helping find the right book/gift. If you looking for anime this is the place to go!

daniel herrera

This place has everything, not just books..it has games, pop culture, funko pop etc...great place for gifts

Isma Enciso

I'm glad I found this place at the mall. They have a diverse selection of categories, and the cashier lady was very nice.

Thy Nguyen

Was a bit disappointed they only recieve shipment of their products certain days of the week. I was there for a exclusive product but they hadn't received it until the following day. It was a disappointment because I went there for that particular reason.

Jose Garcia

Great atmosphere and big selection an books and staff very friendly and attentive.

Emma Mendoza

Nostalgic of “Borders Express”. Any book lover will remember when they were at this same location. Lots of anime, books, albums, CDs and collectibles!

Chris Nelson

Lots of comics and fun stuff to read as well as a nice section of toys for kids a great place for holiday shopping.

Journey of sanjaya Wijekoon

Evelyn Faltum

I loved it, went inside and saw all the manga and I was truly taken aback, so cool!

Bruce Nemer

Good selection of books and games, but prices are high and to get a discount, you have to pay to join their club, every year.

Very nice selection of books. Not as big as Barnes and Noble but has something for everyone!

I absolutely love this place. It has things for avid readers and things for people who want to get some fun things at reasonable prices. I always love their bargain section.
