As the competition continues to thin out, BAMM is making the right moves and not overextending themselves. Solid financials should also keep the stock from falling further, and you get paid 4+% while waiting for rebound.

My parents love this store.
It'll be a long time before internet causes bookstores like this to go out of business. In the meantime, this one beats the others hands down in the heartland.
