This is a great place to find not only a book to read but unique gifts for anyone you're shopping for...and at great prices. Also, you can trade-in your gently used books, comics, games & music for in-store credit or even cash back!!

The atmosphere was clean and inviting, and all the merchandise was clearly labeled. The manga were sorted alphabetically, while the records were... vaguely by genre (why is Taylor Swift in the Rock section? We'll never know.). The associates were efficient and polite, and informed about their rewards program without being pushy which I appreciated greatly. If I lived in the area my wallet would be in danger, but this will be a fun stop to add to any trips I take through this area.

So many great books. The staff was super helpful too! I had no idea Books A Million had a 2nd hand store. I definitely recommend it.

Friendly staff, that will often remember you and know you by name. Some prices are fair, some are higher. Great selection from baby books/toys, to adult books, movies, collectibles, and more! For sales, prices are low cash offer post evaluation, or double that for store credit. Way better than nothing for just donating your items.

It's a huge store with a great assortment of 2nd hand records. My advice is to take plenty of time to go through all the vynil, CDs and books. I got there 1 hour before they close and that wasn't enough time. I definitely plan to go back.

Great place for trading used media and to buy new/used books, vinyl, CDs/DVDs, video games, Funko Pops, games, t-shirts and everything else in between including some musical instruments. Twice a year, you can buy used books for a penny a page. There is always a clearance section as well.

Connor at checkout is alway very friendly. the store has an amazing variety of books and trinkets. I always find myself spending too much money. AND they are often running fundraisers for local organizations where you can donate books. wonderful to come and support pontiac schools, hopefully inspiring future readers. Cannot express how awesome the store is. you will always have a loyal customer in me

2nd & Charles is such a fun and creative space — we stopped by to find a gift for Grandma and walked out with exactly what we needed. The store has a quiet-but-fun vibe — welcoming, well-organized, and just quirky enough to be an experience on its own. I picked up two books by her favorite author, Danielle Steele, plus a bookmark and the cutest jelly belly keychain filled with jelly beans. The staff was kind and helpful, and checkout was quick and easy. What I love most is their merch — seriously, this location always has fun surprises: mini guitars, vintage comics, fandom collectibles, and a solid fiction section that I could easily get lost in for an hour. Definitely a great stop if you're in Auburn Hills and love browsing with purpose (or even just for fun).

My new fave bookstore! You can find from affordable used and new books, music instruments, clothing, accessories, toys, house decor and more. They have rewards program. AFFORDABLE prices, I got beautiful sunglasses for $1 usd (not even at the dollar store). Friendly staff. There are plenty of parking lot. There are cleaned restrooms for clients. Highly recommended 👌 ❤️✨️
