PROFILE |
 |
Books-A-Million hopes to quicken the crawl of bargain-seeking bookworms. The #3 US book chain (after Barnes & Noble and Borders Group) has more than 200 stores in 18 southeastern states. As part of a trend to make stores into destinations, about 70% of the outlets are superstores, which offer author signings and Joe Muggs coffee bars in addition to discounted books, magazines, and newspapers. Books-A-Million also runs nearly 40 smaller-sized Bookland stores (some sell greeting cards and gifts), three freestanding Joe Muggs Newsstands (with coffee bars), and book wholesaler American Wholesale Book Co. The Anderson family (including chairman and CEO Clyde) owns about 37% of the firm.
