Right from the start 2nd & Charles impressed me. Greeting visitors before they even go through the door is a bin full of free books. I haven't seen anything to my taste but I do like the idea of books distributing their ideas for free.
The interior is clean and spacious and more importantly, well lit. The center of the store has the bargin fiction and non-fiction section with books ranging from $2-$4. This section mostly has books that were popular a few years ago, but where I always pick something up. These books are always in great condition and cheaper than you could buy for a Kindle or ship from Amazon. Other than the second bargin section along the side wall the rest of the books are priced about the same you'd see anywhere else.
The next great bit of this store is the themed Fandom areas - great source for gifts ranging from a Dr. Who scarf to a Walking Dead Risk.
My biggest complaint about this store is that their credit card machine has been down twice, and I pretty much never carry cash. It was frustrating to spend the time to find the best of the bargin books only to hear over the loudspeaker that the machine was down (again!) and I had to abandon my finds.
