It's not books-a-million, people! That's the point!

Great selection, liberal trade-in policy, awesome owner. There is a great religion section, and books are well-organized into categories.

I don't see how anyone can expect the store owner to have her entire inventory memorized. No there's no computerized system, but it's a welcoming bookstore, and a delight to browse. Prices are low, and the children's section is large and in the back with a couch and stuffed animals.

These are the bookstores we should encourage with our $$.

Vive la Book Lady!

So much fun... for everyone!

I love the Book Lady, the store, and the "lady" herself! I've been going there for years and it is always a great experience. It's usually the highlight of our shopping day. I was shocked when I read that others didn't have a good experience. She's always been friendly to me and my children. She has doughnut holes, water, toys, stuffed animals, ect. which, to me, speaks "kid friendly." No, she doesn't have a computerized system with all the books listed, but that's part of the fun. If you don't have time to plunder around some, then come back when you do have time. It's not hopeless. She does have a system. One more good thing about the Book Lady is that she gives a discount to home-schoolers. Try it... I promise you try it again.

• Pros: lots of books, stuff to occupy your children while you look
• Cons: not many
