I went to grab beserk deluxe edition books. The staff was generally helpful. The discomfort of the largely elder staff did not help my questions, though not there fault. I bought 3 beserk books for over 150 dollars, and the teller that ringed my books was uncomfortable at best. Sold me to buy the yearly subscription whilst shaking hand. Uncomfortable to say the least. I plan to buy more books and manga here, albeit the strange man behind the counter wards me away.love books. Wierd guy back there.

This book store is great. It's like Barnes and Noble but with a huuuuuge Christian section and an almost as huge Wiccan section. I avoided both.

BAM is always clean and pleasant to be in to shop. My only issue is cost.

My only issue with this store is when I have to check out. Every single employee (and especially the older grey haired gentleman who I assume to be the owner/manager) will accost you like a used car salesman with trying to get you to join their membership, receive promotions or donate a book to charity. This has gone on for years, but last week was especially bad. I politely declined joining anything or wanting to purchase any other items other than the gifts I had picked out. I was looked at as if I was strangling the clerk's cat in front of him (meaning shock and horror). I believe once a customer says "No thank you" once that should be the end of it. The old guy was waiting on two +70 year old women and like a snake oil salesman was laying it on thick. I literally come to this store once a year, which is what I told the guy, and have decided I will drive to Des Moines next year to avoid this kind of harassment and anxiety.
