2nd & Charles, Gainesville FL

Good customer service, and they had a lot of various titled books, Manga, and graphic novels at good prices

I always enjoy coming here. I like the mix of new and used books, it's a great selection. Because they buy books, the inventory is always changing so if you visit often, you won't see the just the same stuff over and over again. The staff is young and mostly helpful. Sometimes seem a bit distracted. The buying counter pays you about what you'd expect, which isn't a lot but it's better than giving to Goodwill.

Very cool "little" store. It is a BIG store, but it feels VERY intimate. They have such an eclectic selection of all things books, magazines, Comicbooks, and even movies! Retro gaming stuff and toys, too. I spent 2 hours there just digging through comics, lol. It felt like I was only there for 10 mins. I have a feeling this book store is going to become a favorite place for me.

Very great place to go shopping for anime or game themed merchandise. Slightly expensive but not unaffordable

I used to love going to other 2nd and Charles locations, but they closed. I was excited to stop at this location on the way through town. But I was very disappointed. The store was very dirty, and smelled damp. I unfortunately had to use the restroom and it was in very bad disrepair. Obviously rarely cleaned, and even more rarely repaired. Sadly it is on par with the rest of the store. The employees, when they weren't talking to their friends or ignoring you, were very unhelpful. Many aisles were very disorganized. The record section was extremely disorganized and the records were haphazardly crammed into the crates or just sling around randomly. They were certainly not in the proper categories, genres, or any semblance of order.

Prices are very high on everything. Honestly, it is very clear this is a business that is in it's dying days. I would expect this location will be closed at the latest when their lease expires, or even sooner.

Seemed like over worked employees got different answers to same question about sale item buy two get two dvds owner should look into that n train employees seems rather self explanatory however it was not

Just got your email about being proud to sell banned books.

How are they banned if you are selling them? Oh.they are available in stores and public libraries? Then they are Not Banned. Get Literate! You're a freaking book store!

They were removed from age inappropriate grades! That is NOT Banned! If parents want them reading it they can buy it from 2nd and Charles obviously!

Geesh! When will this madness end?

Tons of vintage and new collectibles! Hidden gem! Many things are affordable, especially books.

One of the last places of it's kind. If you havent already been her you must go. I love all the used/new book/ video games. There is always a rare find here!

This place use to be nice, but through the years it has gone down hill. Staff is no help and just stands around talking to each other, the entire place stinks of mold and is filthy, prices have become ridiculous and above all the bathrooms are among some of the worst I've ever seen; I would rather use a Walmart bathroom than this one.

Easily our favorite bookstore. There is something in there for everyone. Seriously, if you are near one, stop in.

This is the saddest 2nd and Charles I've ever been to. The Manga section was good but the kid section was tiny and a disaster area. So many of the science and history books were 20+ years old (what few books they had). The shelves were bending under the weight in some areas and I was half concerned they were going to collapse every time one of the kids grabbed a book. I drove 3 hours to get here since there isn't one where I live. But I won't be coming back.
