I could live here! The staff are very nice and helpful. My only complaint is the organization of the books can be confusing, but the helpful staff will assist you. Excellent selection of books, music and movies. A book lover’s dream. I sell my books for credit to buy more books. And they have a free bin. Funny story; I was looking in the free bin one day and there was a book in there called«There’s no such thing as a free lunch». Irony, right???

A great place to spend an hour or so looking around at all that they have to offer. They have a wide array of books, movies, music, games, comics, toys and more. I would definitely recommend visiting.

FYI: This is more of a 3.5 star review but I’m trying to be nice. I’m surprised this 2nd& Charles store hasn’t been reviewed yet. It’s fairly large, it’s been open for several months now – maybe even for a year – and it’s part of a large commercial shopping district that includes the Baldwin Commons and Great Lakes Crossing Outlets. This occupies the former Borders Books and Music location and reminds me of the defunct Media Play stores. Here you can buy, sell or trade books, CDs, DVDs, vinyl, video games and electronics. Features I like: prices are reasonable, the store bought some used music I had been struggling to sell at other stores and the book selection is solid. My biggest criticisms: I bought a used CD here and the liner names were damaged. Staff should have marked it as having damaged liner notes(or maybe they failed to thoroughly inspect the product?). I don’t buy CDs that much anymore but when I do it’s often because I want the liner notes. So, quality control. Another issue: I found the DVD selection to be very ‘meh’ but maybe that’s because I’m picky and I don’t like a lot of mainstream fare. Overall, I think it’s a welcome addition to the metro Detroit area and it’s nice to have other«big box» options outside of Barnes & Nobles and Best Buy.
