“I don’t go to bookstores often (my tax dollars support the local library), but every time I’ve gone to Long Gate’s B&N I’ve been pleased. The absence of ramps and heaviness of the doors don’t bother me now that my kids are out of strollers and in college, and I like browsing so I can add books to my TBR list! I used to meet there in the late evenings with my co-leader to plan events for our moms group, and it was an excellent atmosphere—quieter than most libraries! I’m meeting my neighbor there tomorrow night and anticipate another great time. I’m not bothered by what Starbucks does or doesn’t accept; it’s a bookstore, and I’m looking at books. I don’t go to a bookstore for coffee and pastries (or in my case, chai and a croissant sandwich). But as a member, I do get a discount on Starbucks purchases as well as free shipping (so I wouldn’t need to go to the store at all, but what fun would that be?).”

“Pleasant quaint place. Love the homely feel and the myriad of titles they hold. It might feel cramped because of the limited space and the amount of books and items there are. They also sell CDs. I was delighted to see how vast and diverse their history section is compared to other booksellers.”

“BAM is a spacious area with a variety of items from pop figures, to books and manga along with other various items. Not too long ago I actually bought a pop figure which is going for much more than I originally bought it for. I really enjoyed this place and the workers are very kind, but don't forget to bring a bag because sometimes they run out (at least that was the case when I went).”

“I did not realize it was a book a million when I was there. Sign reading bam. Went in there yesterday to look around and found something I wanted right away. While looking I could hear a customer at the register being a bit loud, which caught my attention, and I was waiting to get my item rung up. Listening from my perspective the customer was being quite rude to the employee, and I observed the cashier maintain a calm, professional demeanor the entire time. Doing all they could to help the customer. The nastier the customer seemed to be, the nicer and more friendly the cashier became. I was so surprised I wanted to give the store top notch feed back”

“Nice modern store. This location is a smaller version of the stores I've visited before. Still, it has a very good and varied selection of books. The employees were helpful, knowledgeable, and professional.

“Honest store with good prices. Sometimes help is hard to find cause there is usually only one employee managing the store at any given time, so expect a long wait. But they treat you fairly.”

“Called ahead to ask of she had the book I wanted. She confirmed she did and had it waiting for me when I walked in a few minutes later. It was labeled a used book, but I don't think it had ever been opened. So it was cheap, as well. Great experience.”

“Local public library was closed for the holidays and ventured out to this local independent shop about a mile away. My girls and I were pleasantly surprised with the little gem of a shop we found at the historic Savage Mill. Cozy, warm, great customer service and book/gift selections. My daughters are 12 and 9 and have very different tastes - all three of us found a plethora of books to choose from - even picked up other cute items like bookmarks and stuffed animals. Although they were disappointed the library was closed, this made for a great substitute. We’ll definitely be back again!”

“Drop & hook, piece of cake! Can be a little tight docking if cars are parked across from the docks. Only downside of this place is it's location if you have to pass through Baltimore, always a cluster f#$k! Stuck in dead stop traffic coming and going, turned a 2hr job into a 5hr job.”
