10820 Abbotts Bridge Rd #1000, Johns Creek“This store is jam packed with sire cute decor and Manga. Some of the items are overpriced,but it's hard to find them in surrounding areas. There's sooo much to look at!”
“I'd never been to BAM. I visited to buy more books as I finished the ones I brought on my trip. It's a typical book and calendar store along with extras to buy. That's where the treasures are hidden. I bought a Care Bears mug for a friend's birthday similar to one I got as a kid. There are tons of Funko Pops. There were characters I didn't know they'd made. If you're in a particular fan base, I highly recommend going through the entire store looking at these items. I found a Camp Crystal Lake decoration for a friend. BAM offers a rewards program for $20 annually. I didn't buy it because we don't have this store where I live. But you can use it online too.”
“A great neighborhood friendly bookstore! Always bright and delightful. The vibe is always cozy and comfy.
They have a lot of special editions for the classics here.
If you’re Cthulu fans, do check out their collections from time to time to get limited edition with cool cover, poster, and way-above-expectation illustrations (really amazing).
A nice cafe at the back btw! Brownie and other desserts are highly recommended.
Love it!”

“My twins and I absolutely adore this place! They're always so nice! The variety of books and items here are amazing! They're always having events where it ranges from authors having book signings to having a book date night where you can literally rent/buy out the store to yourself (who does this amazingness?!). We always look forward to going to this store! It's worth the drive for us every single time! We've NEVER left disappointed (whether we've purchased something or not). We can't wait to go back! I have endless good things to say about them!”
“This is the best place to buy pens! I know but here verse office store, the quality of pen is way better than most. The owner is a nice lady, she also teaches calligraphy classes. I recommend coming here!”
“Nice little spot off the beaten path. I liked the cats decor everywhere. Very appropriate. Prices were a little high for used paperbacks, but it was worth it to support a small bookstore. They're a dying species.”
“Great store for Books, Toys, Puzzles, and Board Games
They have an extensive collection of books for sale. The place was also very clean and had great customer service.
The Starbucks inside was nice too.”
“One of my favorite stores! The owners(husband and wife) are so knowledgeable, helpful and friendly! They always have what I'm looking for, and more! Plus, they are less expensive than buying online!”

4105 Avalon Blvd, Alpharetta“Very cozy little store with plenty of books set up in a way that makes me want to hang out and keep looking forever. I go here with my gf every few months and it's always an enjoyable time, they also have tons of Sonny Angels in stock for anyone who likes those.”
“The area included as a national recreation area is several spread apart destinations along the river. Here, the focus is on a part of the river that is relatively easy to wade in. It looked fairly natural, but with all the signs about water quality and the degree of urban sprawl in Atlanta, I wouldn't expect great things. The muddy banks gave way to a wadeable area and a small island. Trails ran through hillier parts of the riverbank as well. Near the visitor center, a boat launch offered the chance for canoes and water rings to get down easily. It wasn't amazing, and you do need a parks pass, but it is a nice place to cool down.”
“3 adult students were chosen do give testimonials about our experience with their program. We delivered them in front of G.S.U's president & donors.It was an honor I never expected.”

2550 Pleasant Hill Rd #412, Duluth“My cousin and I came here to get souvenirs for her friends, and there’s so much cute and affordable stationary, like the stores in Korea have! I love the pens, and they have my favorite style of pencil pouches (cloth rectangular ones).”
“Great place..had a decent experience.. The supervisor lady near the entrance counter African American lady is rude (forgot to get her name), came up to me and forced me to take 2 steps back regarding social distancing but had an attitude, causing a scene. But the other staff members are nice and helpful. Overall convenient store, very neat and interesting items for sale.”
“This is a really nice church if you like going somewhere where with a really large congregation. The staff was really nice and helpful. My son found the kids section underwhelming.”
“They have an amazing selection and friendly staff!
I’m always on the lookout for independent bookstores and this one does not disappoint! I spent what ended up being a little over 2 hours browsing the store yesterday and still feel like I missed a section or two!
Every time I visit is a new experience because they are frequently changing the displays and featured books to keep things fresh. I most love their horror section. It’s larger than a lot of other bookstores I visit (some don’t even have one!).
They also have these little notes on some books with a review or fun fact about them. It adds a little extra fun to see them while browsing.
The only complaint I would have is that their used book prices are slightly higher than a couple other used bookstores I’ve been to. However, it’s not a crazy big difference and their used books are always in great condition. I’d also rather spend that money with an independent bookstore than a soulless corporation like Barnes and Noble or Amazon.
They also offer trading in your books to get credit towards the used books. I’ve never taken advantage of this (because I’m a book dragon and just hoard them), but it’s great that it’s an option!
The staff was friendly, engaging, and patient as I meandered my way around their store up until 1 minute before they closed (even still, they didn’t even try to rush me, I just happened to see the time on my phone and realized they were probably waiting on me ??♀️).
I’ll definitely be visiting again when I find the space to add on to my hoard ?”
