First time at 2nd & Charles and didn't expect it to be so big! It's probably, the same size if not bigger bigger than Barnes and Noble or Books-a-Million but has a better vibe, I feel. You could probably spend hours in here to see everything. Will definitely come back!

Excellent book store, more unique than other big names and way more options than just books. We particularly like it for the kids sections, toys, used books, board games, etc. Tons to look through and very friendly employees!

Really enjoy shopping here, lots of selection and ranging prices allowing for you to locate a good price or a rare find. Penny a page day is so much fun, you can make your own sale if your smart about it. Clearance section is huge and it is fun to dig through and look for interesting books.

The staff is great! It’s the best book store around. I drove 45 minutes just to be there. It’s always neat and clean. You can usually find the books you’re looking for also. The one I couldn’t, the staff recommended a book store around the corner had it. Wow, just wow!

Great selection of books, CDs (new & used), and even Vinyl records. If you need any books or music, or if you’d just like to browse around their large selection, I recommend this place. They also have a pretty solid selection of musical instruments.

This store has great deals with a huge selection. It’s a little overwhelming with how many books there are to look through. My only complaint would be the thriller books need to be in their own section separate from general fiction.

Great selections of new and used books. Had plenty of other things between funkos, records, and video games and movies

I’m so grateful for 2&C! I love having such a large and well-run secondhand bookstore. The stock is constantly replenished, given the nature of the way it’s run, and I can always count on finding a treasure!

Great experience as usual with 2&C. The video game selection at this store was a bit on the smaller side, but they had a lot of nice titles and great prices. It was very busy, but I didn’t have to wait in line to purchase my items which was a huge plus. I am looking forward to visiting this location again in the future.
